It seems like the era of creating "special" Super Bowl ads is basically gone... nowadays almost every ad even during regular shows is pretty big budget, and all the Super Bowl ads end up just getting shown all the time afterwards anyway.

Since I can only get ABC in high def through my terrestrial antenna (even if it is only 720p), I wasn't watching it on my Tivo.  <br><br>I have a couple wishes though:<br><br>1. High def network feeds through DirecTV. (I ain't paying $11 bucks a month on top of my current subscription w/o getting the networks.)<br><br>2. ABC feeds in 1080i. (C'mon, I can even get PBS in 1080i...)<br><br>3. Never again seeing the Stones "live."<br><br>By the way, I liked the Bud Light Magic Fridge best.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Feb 7th 2006 8:51PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on TiVo Super Bowl stats: people actually watched the game]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/07/tivo-super-bowl-stats-people-actually-watched-the-game/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2006/02/07/tivo-super-bowl-stats-people-actually-watched-the-game/</guid><description><![CDATA[You are kidding me.
