Web Rescues Un-Aired Super Bowl Ads

destinyland writes "A pirated version of Budweiser's un-aired Super Bowl ad appeared on YouTube — proving the Web is more democratic than NBC. The sexy PETA ad they refused to air also turned up on PETA's site; YouTube also had Saturday's skit from SNL, mocking the actual Pepsi ad that would air Sunday. But ironically, the Web site for Jack in the Box crashed right after they'd aired their cliffhanger about Jack's bus accident, prompting one critic to joke, 'Should we assume he's dead?'

Counter-intuitive

Watching PETA ads doesn't make me wanna become vegan. In fact, seeing those naked women just make me want to eat some meat, if you catch my drift.

Thanks, Slashdot!

[Goaway]

Thanks for these very important updates on how we should be manipulated! I was kind of feeling like I was thinking a bit too much on own, but finally I get some more ads to dull the senses and reinforce that conformity!

Support PETA!!!

[RemoWilliams84]

I, for one, support PETA in everything they do... in the nude.

Let me know when there is a spoof of the PETA ad featuring bacon instead of vegetables.

It was those damn Puritans that the English sent over. They screwed the country up for everyone. I for one would rather see naked women on TV than another "terrorist" getting whacked or car exploding.

Re:Pirated

[Jurily]

Did the industries scheme to demonize copyright infringement backfire?
If they scream piracy at everything, then the word piracy will dilute until it doesn't really mean anything.

This might already have happened.

Good. Then I'm going to the fridge to pirate myself something to eat.

Just some overgrown boy millionaires tossing around some weird-shaped device, that, despite being decidedly un-spherical, is for some reason referred to as a 'ball'. Additionally, despite that this 'ball' can only be kicked by one guy from each of the opposing teams at specific times, the strange 'ball' has a 'foot-' prefix attached to it.

Other than that, no.

If you aren't stuck on bacon, a few searches on the internet will probably find you some hotdog spoofs.

It's simple. The human body is evil. Unless it's been shot or otherwise maimed.

Are they made of meat?

[0100010001010011]

The USA does that too, sort of. I think it's around half time they let the 'locals' air what ever ads they want. Which is a good thing, because it lead to the best superbowl ad I've ever seen. [youtube.com]

That tops anything the big companies put on, if not just for the "WTF did I just see" factor.

Re:Counter-intuitive

[DrLang21]

The commercial was disappointing as a whole. With those descriptions, I was expecting something bordering softcore. Instead I got some mediocre crap that left me convinced that these studies they refer to are completely bunk. Nerds have hotter sex than that.

Why stop there?

[brucmack]

If you're going to watch ads on the internet, may as well make it worth your while...

And some meat just needs to be beaten (Especially after seeing those girls in the link).

And you have pigshit for brains, but you don't hear me complaining.

But seriously...farmers pollute the environment? What kind of crap propaganda have you been reading?
Polluting the environment you're trying to live from isn't exactly productive, and if you were to do so, your productivity, and therefore your income would drop significantly.

Farmers run tractors substantially for only a few weeks out of the year. You probably drive a car to work 5 days a week, for 50 or so weeks a year.

Farmers have manure to deal with, but 200 years ago, North America was full of bison and buffalo that were shitting all over the place, and we didn't have pollution problems.

I have to pick up the crap my dog leaves when I take him for a walk, under the guise of preventing pollution, but the fact that there are at least a dozen deer in the same woodlot in my city, who crap all over it every day, doesn't seem to have entered into the minds of people like you.

And as far as them being a throwback to a age best left in the past (Nice grammar by the way), it really takes a shortsighted twit to believe that anything remotely resembling a modern society could function without farmers.
If there were no farmers, everybody would have other jobs, but there'd be no food.
So everybody would have to grow their own food, which would mean little time to do other jobs, and all of a sudden, everybody's a farmer again.

You're an idiot.

I didn't have a problem explaining this to my children. "Those women are pretending the vegetables are body parts men have and use for making babies, hoping to spark the genetically programmed response men have to make babies in an attempt to manipulate and exploit the viewer's emotions."

What's the problem?

Or shoot them and state it was self defense, as you thought they were throwing anthrax at you. Then eat them.
