Can't decide if this is great or merely interesting, but my dog liked it a lot. Here's a Bud Light commercial that was supposed to have been shown during the Super Bowl, but was banned by the FCC. Found this over at BostonSportz. It's new to me, anyway.
We have that same conversation here at Deadspin almost daily.

CHEESEDOODLEZ just took on a whole new meaning for me.
By 'they', do you mean Deadspin?
Not sure if anyone else can't see it here, but a different link to it:
+ Watch video
+1 to the commercial
I cut the cheese about 10 minutes ago. Smelled and tasted delicious.
thanks ASox
@ASox: +1. Totally can't see it up in the post
the fcc apparently isn't the only one not letting me see this.
I actually did see it. The FCC is run by a bunch of uptight assholes. Literally. Funny and harmless.
@ASox: Thanks. Also can't see it.
And with that I'm off to take the Browns to the Super Bowl. I hope there's good reading material.
@Jews For Purple Jesus:
I've been hearing quite a bit about this book lately...
Annnnnnnd Inter is in the process of completely tanking the Serie A. 1-0 Roma at the half.
I'm just disappointed there wasn't another deli guy carrying a live chicken...
Dropping the {redacted} kids off a the pool.... Oh thats not good..
I guess that answers what happened to the promising career of Bobby Lazzarini... Poor Lazz
Are we no longer on speaking terms with the old weekend daddy? He had this last week

Granted - yahoo sports page is pretty poorly designed...
@crazyjoedavola: Actually, it's not the FCC. The FCC cannot censor content. And the FCC can only respond when a viewer/listener reports a complaint, and at that point it is truly in their hands whether or not somethings offensive.
No doubt it was Fox Televison who wouldn't approve it. Apparently, that's more offensive than racist pandas...
@What Would Kornheiser Do?: I think the NFL has a say in the commercials too, this seems like it would get those anal asshounds worked up.
@What Would Kornheiser Do?: but racist pandas with flatulence would apparently be WAY over the line . . .
@Im a people person. Who drinks.: learn to link. (later) MJD credits Mottram for it anyways though...

Sniff, sniff...(misses the old GoDaddy girl)
@ASox: You see one racist Panda commercial and you want to see another a half an hour later.
If you look in the background of the commerical, they appropriately placed a cooking furnace that was manufactured in the Netherlands.
I just dropped some heat about an hour ago, and this commercial took me back...ahh the memories.
The best part about the commercial is how it barely has anything to do with beer.
@What Would Kornheiser Do?: But if the FCC doesnt control censorship, why can't I see more nipples on TV?
I wish it was about cutting Carlos Mencia.
@crazyjoedavola:
Watch more National Geographic Channel.
Scatological humor! HA! Why hasn't anybody ever done that before? It's like they just reached into America's heart and pulled out the entire zeitgeist into a one minute commercial! People fart! Also they cut cheese! They mean the same thing in the parlance of our time!
@Lady Andrea: Brilliantness. I laughed louder at the prospect of this than the actual ad.
@crazyjoedavola: Because the FCC has set that standard. After enough rulings, Standards and Practices have pretty much gaged what the FCC will find inappropriate (or at least what will set off the church groups and their form letters).
Is the guy with the goatee on band of Brothers?
Yeah, that was really offensive.
/rolls eyes
@Frozented:
Thank you...couldn't remember where I'd seen him before.
@Frozented: Damnit, Am I the only one who watched "USA High"?
@BigTenObsession: Funny because I remember reading the part about how advertisers think sports fans are barely functioning retards on the pooper.
I pine for more scatological humor in commercials. I wish they'd use Queens of the Stone Age's "Go With the Flow" in a tampon commercial.
Why didn't they hide the salami?
@Frozented: Gotta be...same thing popped into my head when I saw him. Guarnere
@Excited_Utterance:
"pulled out the entire zeitgeist".... heh heh heh... good one. Not as funny as "dropping the kids off at the pool", though.
@Excited_Utterance: Let me guess: You're not a regular deadspin commenter, are you?
@Lady Andrea: Or another one pounding his meat.
@crazyjoedavola:
Actually, Perconte... James Madio
Bout damn time for Suazo to play, Mancini.
@hockalees:
[www.imdb.com]
@hockalees: Damn, should have known that. Only seen it about 100 times.
The things that were missing:
a pair of walnuts and a hammer
a windbreaker outfit
a guy named Jack Hoff
@Creepy Old Man: now I feel like we're all turning into Burgess Meredith from Grumpy Old Men.
Maybe they could have a guy loading a boat made of skin into a box post-marked for Tuna Town.
@Excited_Utterance: Triple word score for use of "parlance" and "zeitgeist" in one post.
My guess is Joe Buck saw it and was DISGUSTED by that display
@Excited_Utterance: parlance? zeitgeist? You must be looking for the Mensa blog.

Hey, I don't write the news, I just read it.
I had to watch it a few times but I finally get it. It's funny because they have low paying, dead end jobs.
I'm not sure that makes me want to buy your beer, sir.
@ASox: Thanks for the assist, ASox.
