Just came across this on the CBS website, a poll for The Greatest Commercials: Super Bowl vs. The World. There are some real gems in there (like Cat Herder) and a great one I'd never seen before: Terry Tate for Reebok...that was seriously funny! And of course, Apple's 1984 ad is there too . Whether you vote or not, it's still a fun way to kill some time checking out some great ads and putting a on your face

Why? RealPlayer is a free download and a native, drag-install Mac OS X application.

My thoughts exactly. If it was in Windows Media it might be a different story.

Thanks/ I love commercials!!!

I've been told I'm too susceptible- but I just appreciate good advertising.

As for REAL

I don't like it cuz it's streaming. You can't save it and do somethin with it later.

RealPlayer 10 plays local files, including QuickTime-compatible files, too. It even provides resizable full-screen playback for free.
