Such as? Some of the products aren't sold in Canada, so it wouldn't make sense to advertise them, but if the Elton John Pepsi commercial didn't air in Canada (I'm not watching the game, so I don't know if it did), that's Pepsi's fault.

That's what I said. The ads aren't airing on a Canadian broadcast because they didn't spend the money to air them in Canada.


Besides, it's 2012. They're all on YouTube within minutes of broadcast anyway. Simsubbing is much more annoying when the start or end of a show is clipped off because the Canadian and American broadcasts aren't perfectly synced.


Howard Stern is going to be on America's Got Talent? Weird.
