Can we get a review of that call?

I'm not sure how I ended up at the official website of Super Bowl XL, but the headline caught my eye. "Vote for the best Super Bowl commercial of all time." Imagine my surprise when I found that the link led to a rather disappointing list of only about fifteen ads, and it hadn't been updated after the 2004 game.

I went back to the Super Bowl page to take another look at the linked story, to see if I'd missed something...which I had. The NFL apparently hasn't run spellcheck on their website since 2004 either.

And speaking of Super Bowl commercials (again), don't hold your breath to see another one from Go Daddy in this year's lineup. According to Go Daddy's website, they've now had ten submissions rejected by ABC (which is broadcasting the game). I'm sure our lives will be the poorer as a result.
