   I always watch one of the current Geicko ads to the end just to see that Gekko line dancing!

   Have any of the ad content providers complained about piracy of their content?
   
   Something like: Those freetard pirates giving us free advertising! How dare they.

   ad agencies might care about piracy..?

   advertisers probably don't care so much about getting free advertising... but I'd guess that certain ads (like ones that have specific music licenses) make ad agencies care about piracy..?

   What's with the StumbleUpon ads?

   Ads masquerading as content. Because the SEO-gaming internal and self-referential links aren't bad enough.

   "Apple's classic "1984" superbowl ad seems to be one of the few things remembered from that game's advertising. Who are the "drones" now?"
   
   I like this 1984-esque ad better.

   Contagion - Bacteria Billboard
   
   If it was in the US Warner Brothers probably would be have some executives in Guantanamo by now.

   CRV ad left out Ed Rooney (Jeffrey Jones) and used a semi-look-alike. Wonder if that was the whole pedophilia thing? Sadly, they also left out Richard Edson--an unsung hero of indy cinema, as the valet.

   That's pretty disgusting... sure, the bacteria/fungi on that giant petri dish are benign, but still... really gross.

   Oscar Meyer wieners and Chili's commercials

   Am I the only one who finds myself sometimes remembering "I wish I was an Oscar Meyer Wiener" or "I want my baby back baby back"?
   
   Seems like I have more problems forgetting the catchy jingles....

    Isn't it amazing how these advertisers are using....the Internet (gasp) to generate buzz for their commercial/product?
