New Record for the Super Bowl



Even with the slumping economy, ads for the Super Bowl were not affected. In fact, this year NBC sold out all their advertising spots for a record $206 million. NBC charged $3 million for every half minute of advertising. For Go Daddy, the money may have been worth it. It’s “enhancement” advertisement was named the most watched Super bowl advertisement. If you missed the ads you can visit NBC.com, Hulu.com or Superbowl.com to catch them.

As for the game, the Pittsburgh Steelers pulled it out last night becoming the first team to win six Super Bowl Championships. With only seconds left in the game, Santonio Holmes made an outstanding catch in the end zone, giving the Steelers the lead. Kurt Warner and the Cardinals were unable to fight back losing with a final score 27-23. Holmes was named MVP.

Now that the game and ads are all over, the Steelers will be back in Pittsburgh to celebrate. The parade will begin tomorrow at noon near Mellon Arena.
