Worst Superbowl™ Commercials Ever?

I think so. In my opinion, Budweiser had the two best:

1. The Clydesdale foal, trying to pull the cart
2. The crowd at a stadium, simulating beer pouring into a glass by holding colored cards over their heads

There were obviously a whole bunch of commercials that I can't remember, which means that they just didn't work. And then there was the worst: The Burger King song and dance (wtf!?)

Since I can actually remember the BK commercial, I suppose it could be considered a success. It was so bad though, that it really makes me want avoid Burger King, rather than eat there.

You can see all the commercials at ifilm.com.

Please don't do this...

I flew recently. I noticed something that really, really, really annoyed me when flying.

Why do some people find it absolutely necessary to turn on their cell phone and call somebody the second the plane hits the ground!? Argh... it drives me nuts! Can they not wait 5 more minutes until they're in the terminal? Are they so important that they must call somebody, just to say, "Look at me! I have my cell phone! We just landed and I'll call you again in a few minutes when I get off the plane!"
