TV Buzz Everybody knows the best thing about the Super Bowl is the commercials. So if you care less about the New England Patriots-New York Giants rematch than you do the commercials that accompany it, look no further—here are all of the Super Bowl XLVI television ads, uploaded in real time as they air.
Sports Buzz I would trade Ferris Bueller and those dogs that bark the Star Wars theme for this in a second.
Politics Buzz Poor, victimized Mitt claims he was “outgunned” in South Carolina. But he outspent Gingrich 2-1 there, and 4-1 in Florida.
Politics Buzz Negative ads flood Florida televisions.
Sports Buzz On the first day of the season, TNT aired the “NBA Forever” commercial, and it was perfect. Since then, a few skilled fans created versions on YouTube showcasing the history of their teams. Are there enough NBA fans with video editing game out there so that every team can get a remix? Note: This is a thinly veiled call-to-action for basketball lovers to make more of these videos immediately.
Culture Buzz I need an adult. Preferably one not named Ty Barnes. (via The Daily What)
Culture Buzz This is beyond absurd. Check out this ad a gym in Dubai is using to entice new customers to join their gym. I'm speechless.
Culture Buzz This is probably the best use of Meredith Brook's song “Bitch” ever. (via towleroad.com)
Style Buzz OK, so the t-shirts don't explain everything, but sometimes knowing what's not going on can be helpful. What is going on is that Movember is upon is! Which means that men are sporting upper lip sprouts to raise money for men's health and cancer awareness… and looking like creepy 70s porn star cops in the process. (via tumblr.photojojo.com)

Nestlé Purina PetCare tosses Fido a bone in a European TV spot for its Beneful pet food that features a high-pitched sound, like a dog whistle, that only dogs can hear. It's touted as an effort to capture canines' attention.
Michael Bay has a new movie coming out about Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry! Oh, it's just his official campaign advertisement that looks just like Tim Pawlenty's official campaign advertisement. My mistake.
Eva Mendes (a.k.a. the woman recently seen kissing Ryan Gosling) stars in this ad for Thierry Mugler's Angel fragrance.
Some things are so good that they sell themselves. Happiness. A perfect autumn day. Boobs. Cheese belongs on that list. But that didn't stop someone from selling the idea of cheese. That's right, not even one brand, just cheese in general. (via gabedelahaye.tumblr.com)
I see what you did there. Graphic Designer Stefan Asafti switches logos and slogans of competitor brands. To see more in depth views, click here. (via reddit.com)
Not even the most hardcore Potter fan can pretend to like this awful Lancome advertisement. (via styleite.com)
This ad for Kim's new 'Gold' fragrance doesn't even try to be subtle. (via amygrindhouse.com)
Culture Buzz No, this isn't one of those Retro Ads for modern websites. This look at a 1968 version of Skype is an actual ad for a Western Electric Picture phone. Ah, what might have been.
