Super Bowl Advertisers Make Online Tie-Ins: If Miss Piggy is dressing up like Jessica Simpson and networking druids are yammering into cell phones it can only mean one thing: Super Bowl Ads are on the way, at $2.5 million for 30 seconds, they have to be good.

This time, Degree will be making its new ad - which depicts daily life in a city populated entirely by stunt men - widely available for viewing and downloading on the Internet, including a "director's cut" and other variations, George says. There's a great city of stunt men commercial that ran in other countries. I wonder if they're licensing and repackaging it for the U.S.

Are they not the same company with different names in the US and UK?

I get to watch exactly the same horrible Global TV commercials that torture me during every regular season game. Hooray for Canadian TV.

Budweiser normally has a great one every year. Jessica Simpson & Miss Piggy, Kermit is one lucky frog. The commercials will probably have more viewers than the halftime show. Let's hope Mick Jagger does not have a wardrobe malfunction. Speaking of commercials, does anyone remember that old commercial "...back when a hockey player wouldn't be caught dead wearing the color teal..."? What was that for?

It is absolutely the only day of the year I actually look forward to commercials. Most other times I often hit the mute button when ads come on. If I have to listen to that jackass thanking the little neighbor girl for the use of her toy microphone again (Dominos), I may flip out.
