Can you show me a commerical that isn't a "publicity stunt"? Isn't the point to increase interest in a given product or service?

Just sayin....I wasn't an advertising major.

Sorry, let me make my point clearly...

I don't think there is a chance in hell that they will have a 1 second commercial on the air during the SuperBowl. Even IF they get the money.

This is like a viral campaign to generate press, not to actually achieve the stated outcome.

You may be right, but I don't see why the network wouldn't take their $100K and do it. More pub for the network on a deal like this.

Great song. On the new "Useless Trinkets" album there is a Moog Synthesizer remix of that tune that is hilarious and a good example of the mad genius that is E.
