We're Not Here To Start No Trouble...

...We're just here to do the Superbowl Shuffle!

This Sunday there was one thing on our minds...Super Bowl Commercials!

There were several ads this year that sparked controversy. The first was Focus on the Family's ad featuring Tim Tebow's mom. This ad was controversial because CBS had never allowed a political advocacy ad before, and this ad featured a pro-life message.

Another controversial ad was for Man-Crunch, a gay dating web-site. The ad was actually banned, and the reason cited was that CBS didn't trust that Man Crunch could afford the ad as they wanted to pay in cash.

Finally, a KGB ad was banned which featured some men with their heads "where the sun don't shine." While the commercial was kind of crude, I personally didn't find it offensive...but you can judge for yourselves here.

We were really looking forward to the return of Nanerpuss for Denny's...but all we got was a screaming chicken...c'est la vie.

Two other ads we were really excited for was the Betty White Snickers ad and the fiddling beaver. All in all, the commercials this year were a little disappointing. Better luck next year!

You can watch all of the ads on hulu.com

Next week we might actually get to our discussion of The Good Wife!

I leave you with a very cute video of a manatee, which Alec Baldwin wants us to save. Well, this manatee and all of his manatee friends.
