American Commercial Idols

Last night I was really hoping that Paul McCartney would unzip the fly and whip it out. I figured he would have had nothing to lose. If his career is great enough to survive a song like that "Freedom" shit he did a few years ago then he can survive whipping it out for billions of people to see. It would have been a brilliant rock and roll moment and I bet his audience would have increased - keep in mind that there were only a handful of complaints to the FCC about "the nipple" so that means that the majority of the audience didn't mind.

Also, I'd like to go on record in case this actually happens - this is my idea:

A new "American Idol" style show in which commercial "creatives" vie for a chance to spend millions on placing a Superbowl ad by being voted on by self-righteous, washed-up ad makers. That way we can hope for more entertaining commercials because thats the only reason why we watch, right?
