    In these economic times, it amazes me the levels we'll go to to make a buck. While they're not dragging people into affairs, I'd like to see them look into the faces of children of their clients and say: "We're sorry we're trying to destroy your family."

    And their ads actually sold during the Super Bowl.

    1. This has been around for years, so it has nothing to do with the economic times.

    2. It was my understanding that the ad was rejected by the Super Bowl and didn't run.

    As for the site, it does indeed suck.

    2) there was a link that said some viewers in Texas got it on their broadcasts...

    I watched the whole game and don't remember seeing it.

    Another great Canadian success story.

    This isn't a new company --it's been around since 2002--and from what I've read,the Super Bowl ads only ran in Texas which, coincidentally, is the company's fastest growing market.

    The NFL turned down the spots which created more buzz than any ad could probably have generated.

    This is most certainly a D_B. Stay tuned while I find old thread. About a year old if I remember correctly.

    And I accidentally posted that link in the old thread and inadvertently bumped it. Oops.

    I heard about this, but only before and after the Super Bowl when word got around that their commercial was rejected. I wonder if any of the employees have wives... ::)

    A link to a post on a thread from last October about an entirely different subject is hardly a d_b.

    It was mentioned on the thread. Like the 10th post. Couldn't remember why the site stuck out to me.

    Turns out, I'm the one who posted it on there.
