As in quid pro quo. ;-)

While we are at sports, how about skating? Skating under the line?
No. Superbowl ad / snippet of lead single will get millions of viewers within seconds/minutes.
Since they're aiming for US audiences, this is absolutely the best choice.
World Cup makes zero sense (they absolutely do have ads) since America, their main market, doesn't care about the most popular team sport in the world.
As an aside, female athletes are every bit as tough as male athletes, and in fact some of the more "girl" sports like, say, gymnastics or ice skating, are miles more difficult than football, American or not. Less violent, sure, but it's much easier to be a 300lb man throwing yourself at another 300lb man than it is to flip and twist a half dozen times on a balance beam.
Worldcup has no commercials during game play. Pre game, half time, and post game.
And I fucking love worldcup. And championsleaguefinals as well...
Plus, wurldkup commercials are specific to their tiny little countries. Sooperbowlz get 110m all at once.
As an aside, female athletes are every bit as tough as male athletes, and in fact some of the more "girl" sports like, say, gymnastics or ice skating, are miles more difficult than football, American or otherwise (rugby too ... Though women's rugby is popular in American universities).

I tried to cut and paste all of this but my iPhone spellcheck thingamabobber just kept saying "FAIL! FAIL! NO REPLACEMENTS FOUND!!1!"
Finally, the phone started emitting smoke.
Christ. What the hell is wrong with the both of you? Just can't help throw a little barb in. Just can't help but respond in kind.
I'm pretty sure that last time you two decided to have a little feud I mentioned that my patience for your childish bickering had worn thin. Guess you didn't get the point.
I think banning Nick66 would solve the problem.

Maybe I should just ban everyone who comments on it.
It's not like this is going to be the only promo. Album promo these days has been extensive, with teaser videos, secret shows, teaser tracks. And given that this is U2, I'd imagine this promo will be global. The possible Super Bowl commercial would just be one part of this.
What spelling errors?
I don't know what's going on, but I *think*, in the US market, the Super Bowl attracts a larger audience then Letterman on a random Tuesday? Or have I got the whole point of promotion somehow wrong?
I wonder what kind of angle there're gonna take for that super bowl ad.Announcing the release date of the album? first 30 seconds of the lead single and all over the radio the next morning?
I remember the good old days, I was in the army, before I met u2 or Paul McGuinness, and I was just a regular guy fan type boy. I was this and that. But damn, I was...
So I remember 'Details' magazine had a deal on U2, and they were the shit. There was naked butts and breasts in this books if I recall correctly. This may or may not have been before I went marlon brando on the villagers. Anyway, U2 had 'achtung baby' and 'zooropa' and Pearl Jam had ' 10' and 'Vs'.
Where the hell am I going with this? Don't know..other than....I always gave the upper hand to U2. But, this damn song has taken my heart out and replaced it with my organ donor card in the middle of a drone war with lightning firing from above, hell and fire and brimstone, to hell with the ones caught in the pool cover
this song
"Sirens" (Official Music Video) - Pearl Jam - YouTube
call me a bitch
ill call you back
bitch
Really? I thought those lyrics were pretty unremarkable and I thought Bono (despite his average form in the past decade) wrote better on some songs the last album.
Just on the world cup thing, im from the uk and the attitude here at half time is to get a beer,go for a leak,get a pie etc etc etc nobody watches the half time stuff.
If you watch a soccer/football game at half time the stadium empties because people go elsewhere.
Its the same at home you wait till half time to do what you want to do, where as in America people love to watch the adverts,its a different culture
