Blockbuster: "Mouse"
by Bob Sassone, posted Feb 4th 2007 6:50PM
This is my favorite ad so far. Of course, we're only 15 minutes into the game.
A mouse - a real, live mouse - is pressed and dragged by two other animals because they heard that if you use a mouse you can get online to get Blockbuster's Total Access service. This is a sequel of sorts to other Blockbuster ads from Super Bowls past, and it's quite cute. They click the mouse, drag it, and then the punch line has them saying "it's not plugged in!" Though the punchline should have just been the mouse's face looking worried, not the mouse telling the others off.
Shop by remote? There goes the bank account.

It seems like HSN has been promising this for a long time, but that time is finally here. The shopping network is debuting its shop-by-remote system for digital TV customers. HSN viewers have to pre-register their credit card information with the network and then point and click. No special remote or cable box is needed.When it comes to interactive television, we're a little behind the times here in the good ol' USA. Britain and Asia have 39 interactive television channels but the technology development here in the US has been a little bumpy.
HSN shop-by-remote will be available first in New York and Hawaii and other cities will get the service in coming months.

"Going Going Ghana": Sad news for American soccer fans... America won't be advancing to the next level in the World Cup because of a loss to Ghana. However, Australia, "the drunken us", will move on. Before the game, Ghana's fans cheerfully supported their team in broken English, whereas America's fans happily rooted for their team in really, really poor English. Jon raised a Yellow Card to the man in the video clip for inappropriate use of the word "Awesome". He then proceeded to throw a Red Card for an obnoxious "USA! WHOOO!". Jon mused that it'd be cool to have Red Cards to use in real life. "No. Dude. That was my sister. That is uncool" and pull the Red Card out of your jacket pocket.TV Squad Hot Topics
