I don't want to rehash this whole thing again but Deadspin had a good column that was mostly about the Canadian commercials. A couple of good sim-sub points were made at the end.
Quote:
And if keeping the ads from us wasn't bad enough, Canadian networks always find new ways to botch the sim-sub process: cutting to the action late; shoe-horning their own graphics into broadcasts; dropping the HD feed; and generally making a high-school A.V. club hash of the entire production.
After last year's game, CTV memorably cut to one of its studio sports anchors, Jay Onrait, just as Roger Goodell passed the Lombardi trophy to Packer executives. Onrait looked like nothing so much as Canada's most disappointed father. The moment was perfect in its imperfection. I'd like to think that, in that instant, Onrait's death stare was the death stare of every Super Bowl viewer above the 49th parallel.
