Thanks to Towleroad for tracking down this fantastic Super Bowl commercial teaser (video after the jump). Yes, the Super Bowl has gotten so big that the commercials have teaser trailers. Insane. As a long-time Star Wars fan, this one certainly has me excited. A dozen dogs of all shapes and sizes bark the Imperial March [...]

David Beckham to strip to his underwear for H&M Super Bowl ad
This is looking to be a fairly gay Super Bowl. Madonna is doing the halftime show and now comes news that gay icon David Beckham will be in his underwear as part of an ad by fashion retailer H&M. Beckham and his in-house creative team helped to design the collection, comprised of briefs, boxers, T-shirts, [...]
Michael Irvin’s favorite Madonna songs are like Tim Tebow’s: ‘Like a Virgin’ and ‘Like a Prayer’
With the announcement that Madonna will stage the halftime performance for Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis, Marshall Faulk asked Michael Irvin what is his favorite Material Girl song. Well probably the same one Tebow has, you know. Probably ‘Like a Virgin’ and ‘Like a Prayer.’ Share on Facebook
Madonna will be halftime performer at Super Bowl XLVI in Indianapolis this February
Madonna will be the halftime performer at Super Bowl XLVI, the NFL announced during during the Lions-Saints Sunday Night Football game tonight. It will be the material girl’s first Super Bowl appearance. The NFL said her performance will be “imagined” by Cirque du Soleil. Team up Madge with Cirque and you’re sure to get LOTS [...]
‘Gay’ at Super Bowl media day
With all the insanity of Super Bowl media day, it seems at least one reporter had gay on the brain. While I can’t figure out who it was, a media day attendee from Dallas’ 105.3FM The Fan asked some sexually charged questions. From Time: But in a new media day low, a reporter from Dallas-area [...]
Your gay guide to Super Bowl XLV
I have posted my annual Super Bowl for the Clueless, my look at the big game between the Green Bay Packers and Pittsburgh Steelers from all angles: The gay angle, the porn connection, the hair, the TV, the hotties, the quarterbacks, the Steelers polka, the entertainment, the commercials and who will win the game and [...]
Gay-themed Doritos Super Bowl ads
A couple gay Doritos Super Bowl ads have been flying around the Internet this week. They were a couple failed entries for a contest Doritos and Pepsi are conducting to determine what they’ll air during the big game. They’re both humorous but don’t feel like Super Bowl ads, so I’m not surprised they weren’t picked. [...]
Win new album by the Black Eyed Peas
(Updated with third trivia question.) The Black Eyed Peas will be the halftime performers at this season’s Super Bowl in Dallas, Feb. 6, 2011. The group has just released its latest album, “The Beginning.” “The Time (Dirty Bit),” the first single from the album, went straight to No. 1 on iTunes in 11 countries, including [...]
Tebow/Focus Super Bowl ad: least-watched
I had no idea that the Nielsen Company was this detailed. They actually provide individual ratings for the TV commercials shown during the Super Bowl. The most-watched commercial was the Doritos “Snack Attack Samurai” ad, followed by the “Green Police” Audi ad. The least-watched? The Focus on the Family anti-abortion ad starring Tim Tebow and [...]
Peyton Manning refuses to shake Saints’ hands
I don’t want to pile on to the Colts’ loss in the Super Bowl, but when other people have avoided post-loss handshakes it’s made headlines so I think this deserves some comment. It seems Colts quarterback Peyton Manning wasn’t interested in sticking around to shake the hands of the New Orleans Saints after he blew [...]
CBS: No gays. But violence, sex, drugs OK.
I’ve rarely been as pissed at the Super Bowl ads as I was yesterday. CBS rejected two gay-themed ads (albeit the production value of one was so low that I would have rejected it) because of their “standards,” yet the commercials they allowed unleashed a barrage of violence, alcohol and nudity. They rejected a fun, [...]
Watch the bizarre Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad
What were they thinking? The Focus on the Family ad that aired during the Super Bowl aimed at fighting abortion instead promoted domestic violence with Tim Tebow tackling his mother. When it aired, everyone at the party looked at each other with a “what in hell did I just see” look. You can see it [...]
Donny Deutsch: Not enough gays watch football
Outspoken advertising maven Donny Deutsch has weighed in on the rejected Mancrunch ad for the Super Bowl saying not enough gays watch football to warrant the ad buy. He told Larry King: It’s hard to argue that it makes sense to reach a very targeted audience of gay males in America by advertising to this [...]
CBS helped write Focus on the Family script
Not only has CBS agreed to break its policy against political advocacy ads, but they helped the anti-gay Focus on the Family craft their anti-abortion commercial starring Tim Tebow! Gary Schneeberger, spokesperson for Focus on the Family, told the Daily Beast: We’ve worked with [CBS] almost since the beginning. Our senior vice presidents talked to [...]
Mancrunch Super Bowl ad is really bad. Hoax?
For everyone (including myself) who wanted to say CBS’s potential rejection of the Mancrunch ad featuring two men kissing implied some homophobia, I present you evidence to another possibility: This is a terrible ad. It’s clear the site owners had absolutely no intention of this ever making it to the air; It wouldn’t pass the [...]
CBS hasn’t approved Mancrunch, GoDaddy ads
The excuses are running out for CBS regarding their decision to air an advocacy ad against abortion, created by the hate group Focus on the Family and starring Tim Tebow, during the Super Bowl. The latest is news they rejected a gay-themed ad from GoDaddy.com that showed a former pro football player who had become [...]
Tim Tebow’s really bad day on- and off-field
Yesterday was not a good day for Tim Tebow. On top of a bad day of practice for the Senior Bowl, the former Florida quarterback who has cut a commercial for Focus on the Family is the target of a protest by a coalition of women’s organizations unhappy with the anti-abortion-rights message of Tebow’s commercial. [...]
Would you trade three rings for 19-0?
On his ESPN radio show yesterday, former Dallas Cowboy Michael Irvin said he’d trade in his three Super Bowl rings and his Hall of Fame jacket to go 19-0 one season. I’d give them all back for perfection. Being the best for a season (Super Bowl champ) is great but being one of the greatest [...]
SB XLIII: sloppy but fun
Before the Super Bowl got under way I came up with what I thought might be the typical perspective on the game coming from an Eagles fan: Arizona wins: “I can’t believe the Steelers lost! What a bunch of chokers!” Pittsburgh wins a close one: “Dammit, the Eagles could’ve beaten Pittsburgh — if only they [...]
Brenda Warner’s baaaaaack
During the St. Louis Rams’ two runs to the Super Bowl, one wife somehow grabbed the attention of the TV cameras more than any in a long time. Kurt Warner’s wife Brenda seemed to the Georgia Frontiere of the Warner family, even though Warner was taking home MVP trophies. The cameras at the Super Bowl [...]
