SUPER BOWL: Is This The Beginning Of The End Of Super Bowl Ads?(Posted 3:00 AM, 2/1/2012)
In years past, people would tune in to the Super Bowl to see the big, fun, loud commercials -- the best of the best -- for the first time.
These days, there's a little less magic because, even before the game, the commercials are leaked online.
For example, Honda leaked their ad featuring Matthew Broderick bringing back his Ferris Bueller role -- as well as another ad with Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno.
Teaser trailers from such companies as H&M, Volkswagen, Doritos, Priceline and Coca-Cola are already floating around.
So, when the Super Bowl actually arrives, it could be that very few of the commercials are surprises -- and this trend doesn't look like it's going away anytime soon.

SUPER BOWL: Celebrities And The Super Bowl(Posted 3:00 AM, 2/1/2012)
It seems that the Super Bowl is for everyone.
It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, a man or a woman, everybody has their eyes on the game and has something to say about it -- even international celebrities.
For example, Elton John -- who's British and doesn't seem to be a smash mouth football kind of guy -- is a huge Patriots fan. He's starring in a Super Bowl ad this year and is good friends with Patriots owner Robert Kraft.
Another Brit, Daniel Radcliffe -- aka Harry Potter -- is currently acting in a Broadway play and has adopted the Giants as his favorite team. He was recruited to be a Giants fan by the other actors working in the theater.
"I was christened a Giants fan. I didn't have a choice," Radcliffe said.
