div class=”imageleft”a href=”http://www.adrants.com/images/sands_super_bowl_2010_ad_study.jpg”img alt=”sands_super_bowl_2010_ad_study.jpg” src=”http://www.adrants.com/images/sands_super_bowl_2010_ad_study-thumb.jpg” width=”150″ height=”243″ //a/div

So while Bob Garfield was on a plane during the Super Bowl (yes, beyond all fathomable reason, this is true), thus missing the fact Google ran a commercial (only to review it a week later), Old Spice’s “I’m on a Horse” should have been in the game.
