Google Video Charging Admission For TV Ads

To heap on one more thing to screw with your head this Friday, Google is selling vintage commercials through its Google Video search. You heard right, if you want to view the commercial, you'll have to pay a dollar. Anybody else hear Gabriel's trumpet? Just a few weeks ago advertisers paid $2.5 million for a 30-second ad on the Super Bowl. Looks like some are trying to make that money back. Granted the commercials for sale through Google Video are vintage-commercials we knew and loved as kids-but some of these companies are still around. Hang on. Let's talk about the cool changes to Google Video and then get back to this. Google has added Larry Page was yelling about. Searchers who just want to browse videos can do so with the help of tags marked "Popular," "Animation," and "Educational," among others. Sweet. Now back to the commercial thing. Not all of them are for sale. There are "free" old commercials like the Burger King "let's make fun of the Pope" commercial, and even a 1985 Dial Soap, or here.") Drag this to your Bookmarks.
