The Superbowl in 20 minutes

The part that matters, anyway: The commercials. Google Video has them all on one page, with one click to watch in a twenty minute stream.  So, if you didn’t get to see them, say you got stuck with two beavers from Bell Canada, you can go enjoy.   You will note one interesting fact. There is/was a commercial from Glaxo Smith Kline.  via IP locator, Google will not play the ad, shows an error that it isn’t authorized in my country.  The stream breaks at that point but all the good bud commercials come first.

The attempts to block people from watching stuff they want never ends and the people going around it, hacking it, etc, never end. Amazing.

The link is here.

Thanks for the link. I'm in Toronto as well as I had no problem viewing the Glaxo Smith Kline commercial. I wouldn't have guessed that such restrictions would be imposed on Canadians??

Hey, I liked the beavers. But I still hate Bell.

Rick - interestingly alot of those adverts won't play unless you are in the US on google video - shame, really.
