Superbowl-ads.com Names the "Top 10 Super Bowl 2009 Commercials" and Makes Them Available for TV Viewing

(BUSINESS WIRE)--Superbowl-ads.com, a leading Web portal for watching and reviewing Super Bowl TV commercials, today announced this year's top 10 Super Bowl ads, based on post-game audience polling.

Because Superbowl-ads.com uses the GridCast TV service, viewers can watch all of the newest Super Bowl videos from the site on their TVs, including ads from this year’s Super Bowl as well as the top ads from Super Bowl 2008. GridCast TV can be viewed by anyone with an Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Internet-enabled TV, or other UPnP (universal plug and play) device, without a set-top box or any additional hardware.

Doritos took first place with a user-generated spot that also won the "USA Today Ad Meter," which earned the ad’s creators a million-dollar bonus. Over 10,000 poll visitors chose from a list of 49 commercials, with the following results:

1. Doritos: "Free Doritos"
2. Budweiser: "Stick"
3. hulu.com: "Secret"
4. Monster.com: "Double Take"
5. Bridgestone: "Taters"
6. CareerBuilder: "Tips"
7. E-Trade: "Wings"
8. Coca-Cola: "Heist"
9. Diet Pepsi Max: "I'm Good"
10. Pedigree: "Crazy Pets"

“I was surprised how the voting came out this year,” said Ken Phipps, owner of Superbowl-ads.com. “Some of the ones that I picked for the top honors like Denny's ‘Serious’ and Pepsi's ‘Refresh Anthem’ didn't make it in the top 10. Many of the advertisers got an early start on the build-up this year too, and we had links posted to more than 20 ad previews in the week prior to the game.”

This is the first year that Superbowl-ads.com has had a partnership with GridNetworks, using their GridCast TV service. “We’re pleased that most people can see the ads on their TVs now, without any extra equipment,” said Phipps. “That lets viewers watch the ads on a big screen, in HD—from the comfort of their couch.” With combined support for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the GridCast TV service can reach over 40 million homes worldwide. Superbowl-ads.com joins other GridNetworks customers, including A3 Network, Salient Media, and Revision3, who have already begun using GridCast TV to stream high-definition Internet video to their viewers’ TVs.

"We are also launching a fun new poll to determine which year had the best commercials,” said Phipps. “So go to http://www.superbowl-ads.com to check them out and vote."

TV Tossing- A New View

RJ Note: This is a dilemma. What does one do with those big TVs? The sets today are so large and cumbersome that it takes more than one person to move them around, that is, if they can be moved without ripping out the walls of your home. Of course, this topic can send me off on a whole new direction. How does one ever rearrange the furniture?

Lately, I noticed a repair shop in Fayetteville had an overabundance of super dee duper large TVs collecting dust. According to the owner, they can be most difficult to repair or too costly. The solution for some people? Leave them at his shop for eternity.

Glad to see someone is thinking of a way to dispose of these high tech monsters. Wonder what this company does with them?

LCD TV Installation, Plasma TV Installation and Recycling by HD Installers

BUSINESS WIRE --HD Installers, the recent winner of the 2008 LCD TV Installation Company of the Year Award and the leader in big screen TV installation, is launching a television recycling service. The television recycling service is an industry first by a nationwide provider of LCD TV Installation, Plasma TV Installation and Home Theater Installation.

The television recycling service provides both consumers and businesses with demounting and disposal of LCD TV, Plasma TV, LCoS, rear-projection, and DLP big screen televisions. Layla Alford, director of PR, says, “We have had several customers that had purchased a first or second generation big screen TV that they now would like to remove and either donate to local charity, if working, or ecologically dispose of televisions that are not salvageable. We found that most customers did not have the means to dispose of their old rear projection, LCD or Plasma TVs and know what to do with the old screen after we installed their new LCD or Plasma television. Due to customer demand we have launched the HD Installers TV Recycling Service.”

“HD Installers isn’t marking up this service to be a huge money maker but the impact of improperly disposed LCD or Plasma TVs on the environment will have a far greater cost for all of us in the long run if we don’t start addressing this need now. HD Installers is committed to continuing to provide our award winning LCD TV Installation, Plasma TV Installation services while making sure the impact on environment of replacing old technology has the least impact on the environment as possible,” said Alford.
