Best Minute of the Superbowl
Anheuser-Busch's ad honoring returning Iraq war veterans. It was part of their Here's to the Heros program that offered free admission to active military personnel (active duty, active reserve, ready reserve service member or National Guardsman) and dependents at a variety of theme parks around the US. It seems we have learned some lessons from the Vietnam War and treatment of veterans.

And the best ad, far and away the best, was one that had aired before -- the one you cite. I know some people are blaming the FCC crackdown and the bad case of the jitters the NFL had, but really, most of the great Superbowl ads were not sexual envelope pushers. They were just smart and funny.
