    Dumb. I've seen that commercial before pretty much every movie I've seen in the theaters in the past few months. I thought it was crap for them to play an ad from the theaters.

    Apparently the guy didn't get enough donations and his corporate backing fell through. He shot it but it never aired.

    Interesting column by Richard Sandomir in Sunday's New York Times. Link:

    This trend of trotting out your best commercials for the Super Bowl is in danger of dying out because of the expense and the critiques that the commercials receive. In other words, a bad commercial during the Super Bowl is much worse than a bad commercial at almost any other time, because they're rated against the other commecials. It's getting to be too much of a risk.
