Just the Ads, Please

I’m not a sports guy, never have been, so the fact that yesterday was the Super Bowl had little effect on me, other than my interest in those ads that we hear so much about. Last night, as I was catching up on news as the second and third quarters played out, I watched the tweets come across my screen, people talking about the Cash4Gold commercial or the one for Careerbuilder.com. When the words Baldwin and alien grew to gigantic proportions in the Tweetdeck “Buzzing” cloud, I knew I had to see the ads. However, I though it would be at least a day before they made their way onto the web. Wrong. I received an e-mail from Advertising Age before the game was even over, with a link to their site hosting all the ads. By the way, that link is here.
