Super Bowl Madness...captioning galore!

Super Bowl #45 (XLV) is almost here and what's on the mind of many deaf and hard of hearing football fans everywhere are the much anticipated captioned commercials when past Super Bowl commercials were never captioned.
The National Association of the Deaf (NAD) and the National Football League (NFL) along with FOX Broadcasting Company, the network airing Super Bowl XLV on Sunday, February 6, 2011, are proud to announce that this will be the first fully captioned national broadcast of the Super Bowl in history, including all national commercials and promotions.
And so in the spirit of Super Bowl commercials here is "Uncle Bob's House -a Pepsi parody" a creative video I did three years ago in light of over the much ballyhoo-ed responses of ballistic proportion against AGBell's Pepsi letter over a Pepsi video Super Bowl commercial called "Bob's House."



Yeah, I prefer Coca Cola.

And, oh, a poll..a poll! Wanna do a poll? Did ya like my Uncle Bob's House parody video? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh? Huh?  It's fully captioned!!

*drinks more Coke*



24 hours left to go and counting...who will win?

Steelers!!!

Packers!!!

Who am I rooting for?

None of your damned business!!

*drinks more Coke*

Go NAD!!!

*drinks Coke*...burp!

Because you drink Coke, I REFUSE to participate in your survey.

:)

Why didn't you do a poll on which team's gonna win the Super Bowl?

Disclaimer: I quit drinking sodas years ago, but when I was, Pepsi was a hundred times better than Coke!

Maybe on Monday you can do a poll to rate the quality of Super Bowl captioning... and a second one to rate which made better commercials: Coke or Pespi. :)

I drink sodas but a lot less nowadays and no more caffeinated drinks. The residual effects of drinking too much caffeinated drinks gave me bad headaches whenever I stop drinking it the next day do I get one. A withdrawal symptom.

So, it's Canada ginger ale I drink with a bit of frozen fruits in it like raspberry, strawberry or blue berry.

Your video is mirrored. You are truly stupid how to correct this.

Nincompoop!

Your so-called commercial sucks big time.

Anony @ 7PM;

Yeah? So? Does it really matter? Does it bother you so much that the video is mirrored? Glad you noticed, brave kid.

I'm stuck with Packer fanatics here...

I hope the Packers LOSE!

I think it's nice that everything is going to be captioned but in reality, games can be watched without captioning, in my opinion. Might be too much distraction listening to/ watching the colorful commentaries of the hosts while watching the Super Bowl.

I don't drink either brand. Pepsi & coke sucks in my book but I voted anyway because I loved the advertisement.

Packers won and I'm glad. As a lifelong Cowboy fan I'm never allowed to spell Stinkers.
