Love getting weather from an over sized rat. Punxsutawney Phil's official forecast as read 2/2/06 at sunrise at Gobbler's Knob: Six More Weeks of Winter! Phil Connors: "This is one time where television really fails to capture the true excitement of a large squirrel predicting the weather" Or not.

A couple of ad highlights to look for during the Super Bowl as reported by Out To Launch:

Burger King - "The ad introduces the Whopperettes, a group of female dancers, acrobats and synchronized swimmers dressed up as lettuce, tomatoes, pickles, flame-broiled beef patties and buns. The ad plays like a performance you might see in Las Vegas." So what happened to the king? Is all that stuff just for the blogs? hmmmmm...

Master Card - "MasterCard is launching "MacGyver" in the fourth quarter, promoting the Debit MasterCard. The spot is one of my favorites: we see MacGyver using a pine tree car air freshener as a knife to cut the rope that's binding his hands behind his back, a tube sock to propel down a wire, and a paper clip, tweezers, nasal spray, turkey baster and a pen to jump-start a truck right before a building blows up. "Little things that get you through the day? Priceless.""

*Damn you Zack Braff! Damn you.
