Eels Release Shortest Commercial Ever
The $100,000 one second ad ran during last night's Super Bowl. Did you happen to catch it?
UPDATE: It didn't actually run. Frontman E explains: *"In the end we were told that the NFL would have to find 29 other advertisers to buy 1 second spots to fill a standard 30 second advertising slot and that they do not sell advertising time by the second. They also noted that a rapid fire 30 second segment of thirty 1 second commercials could cause people with certain medical conditions to have seizures and that it was against network regulations."* Thanks for the tip, Andy!

It didn't really run. The NFL doesn't sell ads in one-second increments, and E says as much on their official site.
