This is my plea to advertisers: Please stop showing us your Super Bowl commercials before the super bowl. It takes away from the big day. This morning I saw a commercial for Melissa McCarthy's KIA Super Bowl ad that auto-played on my YouTube. It was hilarious, it was funny, and it should have waited until Sunday!
You have probably seen lots of celebrities pushing Wrangler jeans, especially athletes like Brett Favre, Dale Earnhardt, Jr, and Drew Brees. Not to stereo type, but doesn't it make more sense to see a wrestlin', ropin' country cowboy musician in them instead? For instance, George Strait?

Rather than play a joke on the unsuspecting athletes, however, it turns out that the beer brand actually made their dreams come true.
Super Bowl ads tend to have more longevity than traditional commercials thanks to their large budgets, creative freedom and overall goal to keep you glued to the TV between quarters. Some, however, aren't remembered for the joy they brought but rather for the public outcry they produced.
I think I would rather watch a short advertisement on an ATM screen than pay a transaction fee, what about you? That is the plan with this invention:
ATM users could soon be able to opt out of ATM surcharges by agreeing to watch an advertisement in the same amount of time it takes for a typical transaction.

This year, a 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl will cost three million dollars. At that price, any company hawking its product during the big game better hope its ad makes a big impression.
We’ve compiled a chronological list of 10 Super Bowl commercials that went over like a flawlessly executed touchdown. By lodging themselves in our collective consciousness, these ads made the commerci
