Commericals as Content



For those who miss the interruptions of commercials you can now get your fix at Firebrand.com. You can watch a constant stream of random commercials or select specific categories. Sound like fun?

Well it is. Everyone has at some point searched for a great commercial on You Tube. The buzz around Superbowl ads shows that if the content is entertaining enough people will watch. TV ads are a microcosm of our culture and viewing the top creative ads is surprisingly fun. A similar site is Veryfunnyads.com, where you can view the funniest ads.

Some really cool aspects of Firebrand is a host who presents the ads in a show format, sometimes with interesting trivia between spots. You can also click on credits for each ad to see the agency behind the spot. The international ads are also cool.
