The Best Super Bowl Ad You Didn't See Yesterday
NBC thought this ad was too edgy for Super Bowl yesterday's viewers, so it refused to run it.
Even though the ad isn't that much different from the sex and violence Fox airs daily and many Victoria's Secrets commercials, in today's post-wardrobe malfunction world the decision isn't that suprising.
What's most interesting is how NBC's decision didn't stop people from seeing the ad because it's available on YouTube. There was a time when the three major television networks had the power to determine what messages were delivered and which products were sold. No more.

PETA pulls this stunt every year -- they produce an ad that no network will show, and submit it so that they can complain about getting shut out. They had no intention of paying for that airtime.
