FOX just announced the final cuts for the Super Bowl ads and the famous/infamous Miller Beer 'Tastes Great, Less Filling/Ladies Mud Wresting ad did not make the NFL's cut.

The Las Vegas Tourism Board was also shut out over concerns with gambling and the leagues image.

Ok, but it still stinks. It's tough to boycott the Super Bowl if you want to watch the game. Rather than boycott Miller Light, maybe a couple million angry E-Mails to the NFL might wake up the panty wearing executives.

How hypocritical can the National Felons League be? These commercials are fine and dandy during the season, but not for the sainted Super Bowl?? Excuse me while I HURL.

Listen to the game on the radio. Between the execrable commercials and the awful commentating (Theisman and co. on ESPN being the sole exception IMHO), we listen to the games on the radio most of the time now.

After seeing her breats in the pics at her website, I'd be inclined to say that they fake.

"In the place of the mud wrestling babes beer ad, an add for Vaseline that features two guys wrestling then saying "let's make out" will be run instead."

Ya troublemaker! (That was keyboard pounding FUNNY!!!) They could have one in a Niners uniform and one in a Jets uniform.

I like the Miller Lite ad for the simple reason that it's the first one they've made in years to get any attention. Bud Light has been kicking their butts in the ad wars.

Oh yeah, the girls are hot too.

The next NFL announcement will be the creation of the WNFL, due to "fan demand," and the success of the WNBA. </sarcasm>
