Advertising Culture

I’m not a huge fan of football, so if I were to watch the Super Bowl it’d probably be more for the guacamole, beer and TV ads. Yesterday (Super Bowl Sunday) found me a few miles away from my couch and TV which disappointed me when I realized I wouldn’t get to see the mult-million dollar ads, but then Google came to the rescue.

Behold: Google’s Super Bowl XL Commercial Archive.

Yes, in just twenty minutes you can watch all of this year’s commercials, which definitely frees up some time for drinking beer and making more guacamole. Mmm, guacamole.
