GeniusRocket Super Bowl Ad Selections Announced February 4, 2008
What a game! According to one report, last night's Super Bowl may have been the most watched ever, with millions tuning in to check out the newest ads.
Equally as exciting (for us, anyway) was reviewing the submissions to our Super Bowl Ad RFB. There were some great players on the creative field -- but now it's time to hand out the MVPs.
The First Selection goes to Kino for his wonderfully slow-paced Drink Responsibly ad.
We admit that at first we thought the ad was made using stock footage -- until Kino was kind enough to send us some photos of the production shoot.

After the exciting shooting day
Kino earns $1,000 for his submission.
KSchaack also scores $500 for his her Brewed Rite ad.
Honorable mention goes to nodicefilm's "A Drink for Men" ad, which was favored as the second selection here at the GeniusRocket office before community support for KSchaack's submission pushed him her into the end zone.
