Here, Comcast digital is on a time delay several full seconds behind the on-air broadcast. Makes for interesting phone conversations. :p

Big difference from when all the would-be Tech Titans startups were burning through other people's venture capital funds and thought, "HEY! Let's advertise on the Super Bowl."

Now, it's Bud, Ford and whatever giant food conglomerates. Ergo, commercials by committee, guaranteed to be lame.
