p2pnet view P2P | Advertising:- “I wonder where Annie Leith (right) is today and what she thinks of her appearance?” – I said in p2pnet last summer.

“Does she believe it was right for Apple and Pepsi to hold her and her friends up to be falsely accused by Vivendi Universal, EMI, Warner Music and Sony Music’s RIAA as criminals in front of hundreds of millions of people in a warped iPod commercial?” – I asked, going on:

“The iTunes /RIAA / Pepsi advertising connection has been forgotten by most people. But the RIAA is still trotting out kids and their parents as thieves.

“And it’s still getting away with it.”

The occasion was the 2004 Super Bowl and it’s that time again — but without the deeply perverted Apple – RIAA – Pepsi campaign.

This time around, “YouTube delivered on its promise to upload all the Super Bowl Ads as soon as they aired today, with users voting to choose which one will grace the YouTube front page on Thursday,” says Mashable, adding:

“The tech and web ads were a mixed bunch: Both the established GoDaddy ‘Too Hot for TV’ schtick and Motorola’s decision to put Megan Fox in a bathtub stuck to the ’sex sells’ mantra, while Monster.com returned with a ‘Fiddling Beaver.’ Intel went for a quirky ‘lunch room’ ad while Vizio chose star power in its Beyonce (beyonce) commercial. We don’t know what inspired Boost Mobile’s ad, meanwhile, but the humor appears to miss the mark.”

Mashable has them all — except, for some reason, the beer ads.

Not that it didn’t try. But “This video has ben removed by users”, say the GooTube embeds.
