The best Super Bowl ad was not seen in US. Shown only in Canada.

During a Super Bowl party I attended yesterday, there was much grumbling about the Canadian station not airing exclusive new ads debuting during the big game on US networks. We mostly tuned out the same old Canadians ads when they came on, as we usually do, but one ad caught my eye.

I don't usually celebrate television adverts - that's what the Mute button is for - nor do I drink Budweiser beer - piss water it is - but this ad is human and unique, two qualities rarely seen in a commercial, Super Bowl or otherwise.

UPDATE: A commenter at Ebert's site advises that this ad is a 'shameless rip-off" of this video:
