The big day has arrived. And while many will be watching football, the advertising industry (and their clients) hope we’ll tune in for NBC’s big pay day ($206 million). Although much of the advertising action will be simulcast online… NewTeeVee’s put together a roundup of web destinations to catch Superbowl commercials. And, if 80s action figures, cartoons, and comics were your thing, the Transformers and G.I. Joe movie trailers have already landed on YouTube. (Thanks, Gizmodo!) Also online, startup Thummit will be tallying our feedback via Twitter: During the game, drop @thummit a message with an ad name and your micro-review. Back on the boob tube, we’ll see the reintroduction of some classic 3D tech for a pair of commercials tonight. Assuming you managed to find some glasses.

What I didn’t cover above, and won’t link, is PETA’s provocative vegetable fondling ad that was denied by NBC. In a fine example of hypocrisy, their blog is moderating away comments that don’t line up with their doctrine.
If you’re still looking for 3D glasses, my pal Jason found a pair in his local K-Mart today. I sent Melissa on a mission to find some for us too – several CVS stores and the Target were out, but she also had luck at K-Mart.
Regarding the game itself, I am (was) a closet Eagles fan and don’t have a big investment with either team. However Kevin Tofel is a huge Arizona Cardinals fans, despite decades of suckage, so that’s who we’re going to pull for.
