Super Bowl Commercials, Super Bowl Xliii | featured news

Super Bowl fans in Tucson, Arizona, caught a different kind of show during Sunday's big game.

NBC said on the eve of Sunday's Super Bowl that it has sold the last two of the 69 advertising spots for the game, pushing total ad revenue for the event to a record $206 million. The network said its total of $261 million in ad revenue for all of Super Bowl day also is a record, calling it an especially impressive feat in the middle of the economy's steep downturn.

MTV has debuted the Super Bowl spot for Walt Disney Pictures' Race to Witch Mountain, opening in theaters on March 13. Directed by Andy Fickman, the action adventure stars Dwayne Johnson, Anna Sophia Robb, Carla Gugino, Ciaran Hinds, Alexander Ludwig, Tom Everett Scott, Christopher Marquette, Cheech Marin and Garry Marshall.

I don't think the ad is that bad. But since the wadrobe malfunction a couple of years ago I guess they have to be extra careful. For the record: is it true? LOL!

Miller Coors said Tuesday that it will premier a one-second ad for its Miller High Life brand during the Super Bowl broadcast Feb. 1.

At a reported $3 million per spot, ad time for the upcoming Super Bowl XLIII is the most expensive ever. But by some measures, it makes sense, and might even be a bargain.
