<p>The Super Bowl: The one time when the fast forward button on the DVR remote doesn&#8217;t get a workout. Reports say <a href="https://www.i4u.com/2016/12/118621/super-bowl-2017-advertisers">Fox is charging $5 million</a> for a 30-second TV commercial for Super Bowl LI. But when the advertisements receive almost as much attention as the game, you know companies are receiving a good value for their marketing dollars.</p>
<p>If you attend the kind of Super Bowl party where everyone ranks the commercials and votes on their favorites, you may want a head start on judging the entrants. After all, 30 seconds isn&#8217;t enough time to properly catch all of the nuances of a cleverly designed Super Bowl ad. Continue reading to learn more about the Super Bowl LI commercials and watch some of them early!.</p>
<h2>Who are the Super Bowl Advertisers?</h2>
<p>Ad Age has <a href="https://adage.com/article/special-report-super-bowl/super-bowl-li-complete-ad-chart/306339/">put together a list of companies</a> reported to have purchased Super Bowl spots, including some well-known brands: Audi, Bud Light, Budweiser, Buick, Febreze, GoDaddy, Honda, Intel, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz, Michelob Ultra, and Snickers, which, in an interesting twist, has announced it will air its commercial live.</p>
<p>Some notable brands absent from this list that have been Super Bowl advertisers in the past include: Amazon, Butterfinger, Doritos, Fitbit, and Toyota. Understand, though, that some companies don&#8217;t announce that they&#8217;re advertising on the Super Bowl ahead of time. So Ad Age&#8217;s list will change as the game approaches.</p>
<h2>Watch the Super Bowl Ads Early</h2>
<p>One option to watch Super Bowl TV commercials early is the Web site <a href="https://www.superbowlcommercials.co/latest-updates/all-the-2017-super-bowl-li-commercials/">Super Bowl Commercials</a>. It also offers some news about the ads and teaser videos. The AdWeek web site has <a href="https://www.adweek.com/news/advertising-branding/super-bowl-ad-tracker-all-about-2017s-commercials-175124">Super Bowl commercial preview</a> links and news as well. If you don&#8217;t mind getting some odd results, a simple <a href="https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=super+bowl+2017+commercials">Super Bowl commercials YouTube search</a> will provide links to the early releases of TV spots. And you&#8217;ll also find there some ads that Fox and the NFL reportedly rejected, which can be kind of fun.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve also compiled some of the already released ads and teasers below. Enjoy!</p>
<div class="yellow-box"><div class="yellow-box-content">Although it&#8217;s fun to watch Super Bowl commercials early on your computer or smartphone screen here, you really will want to see them on Super Sunday on a high-quality TV screen. If you need a new TV, check out the Ben&#8217;s Bargains collection of <a href="https://bensbargains.com/categories/tvs-58/">deals on TVs</a> that can help you save some money.</div></div>
<h3>Avacados from Mexico</h3>
<p>This is a teaser to the group&#8217;s actual Super Bowl ad.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/a-d2fTXc1hE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h3>Bai</h3>
<p>Bai has released a teaser to its Super Bowl ad.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/rRKx6RAAYWw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h3>Budweiser</h3>
<p>Ever wondered why Budweiser and Bud Light are so prominently featured in Super Bowl commercials? It&#8217;s because Anheuser-Busch InBev, Bud&#8217;s brewer, owns exclusive rights for advertising alcohol during the Super Bowl and has for many years. AB InBev has not unveiled any of its official plans for Super Bowl LI advertisements, but the brewer did debut new ads during the AFC and NFC championship games two weeks before the Super Bowl, so at least one of the company&#8217;s ads Sunday may run somewhere along the same theme as the ad here.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/GBpZimc5Z5I" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Rwr_0qukG64" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vbgxziFqZvA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

<h3>Hyundai</h3>
<p>Hyundai will be creating its 90-second, documentary-style commercial <em>during</em> the game, using scenes from around the Super Bowl featuring fans for an ad to air right after the game ends. The company has released two teaser videos featuring past Super Bowl stars, Mike Singletary and Joe Montana.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/kPl73BOo-E4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

<h3>Intel</h3>
<p>Intel&#8217;s ad stars Super Bowl quarterback Tom Brady of the New England Patriots. (We&#8217;ll let you judge if this belongs on our list of <a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/features/get-to-know-tom-brady-the-actor/">Brady&#8217;s five best acting performances</a>.)</p>

<h3>Mercedes-Benz</h3>
<p>&#8220;Born to Be Wild&#8221; will be part of the luxury car maker&#8217;s super ad, as shown in this teaser.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BvHFM8c7cPM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h3>Mr. Clean</h3>
<p>Mr. Clean is a big guy; he might have a shot to play tight end in the Super Bowl. But he&#8217;ll have to settle for starring in his own official Super Bowl commercial. There are two teaser videos for the Mr. Clean entry. Fair warning: They&#8217;re creepy &#8230; unless you have a long-standing secret crush on Mr. Clean. Then you might be putting them on constant replay.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/DRFeoMMImb0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

<h3>Pepsi</h3>
<p>Former Super Bowl winning quarterback Joe Flacco stars in this teaser to Pepsi&#8217;s Super Bowl LI ad, discussing what to do with Super Bowl party poopers. It&#8217;s one of many Pepsi teaser ads available on YouTube.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xwtVkwr_Uss" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>There&#8217;s also a teaser to Lady Gaga&#8217;s halftime show, sponsored by Pepsi.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/vBOQEqzDCM4" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h3>Skittles</h3>
<p>Fortunately, we won&#8217;t have to see any disturbing Steven Tyler portraits made from Skittles this year.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bKe8mRgw6LQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h3>Snickers</h3>
<p>As we mentioned earlier, Snickers will be airing its Super Bowl LI commercial live. Here&#8217;s a teaser.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ROHiehEzUcE" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h3>Squarespace</h3>
<p>As shown in this teaser ad, John Malkovich will be trying to build a web site in Squarespace&#8217;s Super Bowl TV ad.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xAtpM9jgCAQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h3>Tide</h3>
<p>Tide announced <a href="https://twitter.com/elitedailyshow/status/824306437253799936">in a Twitter video</a> that its Super Bowl commercial will star Rob Gronkowski, Patriots tight end who will miss the Super Bowl with an injury.</p>
<h3><strong>TurboTax</strong></h3>
<p>Humpty Dumpty and tax software don&#8217;t go together &#8230; unless it&#8217;s in a Super Bowl commercial, of course. (This is a teaser to TurboTax&#8217;s actual ad.)</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/wgh6K1TXw28" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h3>Wix.com</h3>
<p>Wix.com has released a two-part teaser of its planned Super Bowl ad, starring Jason Statham and Gal Gadot.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/bcrrxRk-YeQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>

<h3>Wonderful Pistachios</h3>
<p>Pistachios will team up with Ernie the Elephant for a 15-second spot, as shown in <a href="https://twitter.com/getcrackin/status/785467475118940161">in a Twitter video</a>.</p>
<h3>Yellow Tail Wine</h3>
<p>The Yellow Tail Wine ad is an interesting one. As mentioned earlier, Bud owns the exclusive rights to advertise alcohol during the Super Bowl. So Yellow Tail has chosen to purchase advertising time from local Fox affiliates, and its ad should reach roughly 80% of Americans.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Ae3n1jdsuaA" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<h2>Revisiting More Super Bowl Commercials</h2>
<p>Ad Age put together a comprehensive list of the <a href="https://adage.com/article/special-report-super-bowl/super-bowl-50-ad-chart-buying-big-game-commercials/301183/">companies that advertised during Super Bowl 50</a>, including reviews of each ad and a link to the streaming video clips. This is a great way to remember the best Super Bowl ads from last year and to compare those spots to the new 2017 Super Bowl commercials.</p>
<p>And USA Today put together a list last year of the <a href="https://admeter.usatoday.com/2016/01/21/ad-meter-50-for-50th-best-super-bowl-commercials/">50 best Super Bowl commercials of all time</a>, including the classic Mean Joe Greene ad for Coke.</p>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xffOCZYX6F8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p>If you&#8217;d like to view a few cringe-worthy ads, Fortune has put together the <a href="https://fortune.com/2016/02/05/worst-super-bowl-ads/">10 worst Super Bowl commercials</a>. With these disastrous entries, even a 55-10 Super Bowl game would have been more entertaining.</p>

<div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;" class="sharethis-inline-share-buttons" ></div><p>Does everything you know about Deadpool come from his cameo in <em>Wolverine: Origins</em>? For shame, fan-boy! Every True Believer knows that&#8217;s not the <em>real</em> Deadpool.</p>
<p><a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/deadpool1-gallery-image.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-23288" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/deadpool1-gallery-image-1024x551.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Deadpool" width="620" height="334" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/deadpool1-gallery-image-1024x551.jpg 1024w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/deadpool1-gallery-image-300x161.jpg 300w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/deadpool1-gallery-image.jpg 2000w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px" /></a></p>
<p>With the movie coming out soon (and looking a lot better than <em>Origins</em>), Deadpool&#8217;s about to be catapulted up to the upper tier of cinematic superheroes, taking a place next to Batman and Captain America. Everyone&#8217;s excited because this is one of the first times a mainstream superhero movie earns its R-rating.</p>
<p>But ask a die-hard comic fan, and they&#8217;ll tell you Deadpool&#8217;s <em>always</em> been one of the greats. In fact, it was his cult status among comic readers that urged Fox Studios to redo their treatment of the hero and give him his own movie.</p>
<p>And why are people more excited about Deadpool&#8217;s film than, say, Aquaman? Here&#8217;s a primer of what makes Deadpool great:</p>
<ul>
<li>He&#8217;s an antihero, which is to say, he kills people.</li>
<li>He&#8217;s hilarious, with witty snaps and pop culture references (and a boyish crush on Bea Arthur).</li>
<li>He doesn&#8217;t always win, and is often a tragic character.</li>
<li>He breaks the fourth wall constantly, fully aware he&#8217;s in a comic. At one friend&#8217;s funeral, he even wonders how long before the publishers think of a way to bring him back.</li>
<li>He&#8217;s not Aquaman.</li>
</ul>
<p>So, now everyone&#8217;s talking about the Merc with a Mouth, and you&#8217;re worried about losing your nerd status. The names Weasel, Blind Al, and Francis don&#8217;t ring a bell&#8230; You&#8217;ve never put much thought into how a transportation device fits in a belt&#8230; You had no idea a bicep could be used as a gun silencer&#8230;</p>
<p>Fear not, future Deadpool fan. There&#8217;s still time. Here are 4 essential Deadpool comics, collections, and storylines that highlight Deadpool&#8217;s career, so you can pretend you were a fan all along.</p>
<h3>Deadpool Classic Vol. 1</h3>
<p><a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/51Yn2l7ABtL._SX316_BO1204203200_.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-23290" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/51Yn2l7ABtL._SX316_BO1204203200_.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Deadpool Classic Vol. 1" width="318" height="499" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/51Yn2l7ABtL._SX316_BO1204203200_.jpg 318w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/51Yn2l7ABtL._SX316_BO1204203200_-191x300.jpg 191w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 318px) 100vw, 318px" /></a></p>
<p>As a Deadpool fan, I&#8217;ll be honest&#8230; this collection isn&#8217;t his best. It is, however, a historical document. There&#8217;s virtually no difference between Deadpool Classic Vol. 1 and the <em>Canterbury Tales</em>.</p>
<p>Here you will read the very first appearances of Deadpool, conceived by Fabian Nicienza and Rob Liefeld in <em>New Mutants #98</em> (1991). You will blush with embarrassment at the blatant rip-off of DC&#8217;s Deathstroke, a.k.a., Slade Wilson (which sounds nothing like Deadpool&#8217;s alias Wade Wilson), and wonder what was it about this one-off character that Marvel execs decided to put their faith into.</p>

<p>Like the first season of <em>The Simpsons</em>, there are only a few similarities between Deadpool&#8217;s beginning and the greatness he became. But if you want to be a true Deadpool fan, you have to start with the beginning. Luckily, there&#8217;s plenty of cameos to keep it interesting: Cable, Juggernaut, Siryn, Banshee, and Sasquatch.</p>

<h3>Deadpool by Joe Kelly Omnibus</h3>
<p><a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/51jEj6u2R2L._SX322_BO1204203200_.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-23291" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/51jEj6u2R2L._SX322_BO1204203200_.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Deadpool by Joe Kelly Omnibus" width="324" height="499" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/51jEj6u2R2L._SX322_BO1204203200_.jpg 324w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/51jEj6u2R2L._SX322_BO1204203200_-195x300.jpg 195w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 324px) 100vw, 324px" /></a></p>
<p>This is the Deadpool you&#8217;ll learn to love. Joe Kelly and Ed McGuinness turn the Merc with a Mouth into a character worthy of his own run. These first 33 issues of this own title delve deep into his character, explaining his origins as a mercenary and Weapon X experiment to escape his cancer, and his struggles walking the line between hero and villain.</p>
<p><a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/deadpool-comic-1.jpg"><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-23296" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/deadpool-comic-1.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Deadpool #11" width="280" height="440" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/deadpool-comic-1.jpg 500w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/deadpool-comic-1-191x300.jpg 191w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 280px) 100vw, 280px" /></a></p>
<p>This run is hilarious, exhilarating, and at times will kick you square in the feels. Personally it&#8217;s one of my favorite comic runs ever, but I&#8217;m not alone. If this weren&#8217;t so epic, Deadpool would have just faded back into early 90s obscurity.</p>

<h3>Deadpool by Daniel Way: The Complete Collection: Volume 1</h3>
<p><a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/514NT6bSFZL._SX322_BO1204203200_.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-23292" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/514NT6bSFZL._SX322_BO1204203200_.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Deadpool by Daniel Way: The Complete Collection: Volume 1" width="324" height="499" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/514NT6bSFZL._SX322_BO1204203200_.jpg 324w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/514NT6bSFZL._SX322_BO1204203200_-195x300.jpg 195w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 324px) 100vw, 324px" /></a></p>
<p>Once Deadpool was cemented as a classic, other writers had the opportunity to have fun with him. One of the most successful of these authors was Daniel Way, who, along with illustrator Steve Dillon, took the hero to new heights by taking him to new lows.</p>
<p><a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/dp62.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-23297" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/dp62.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Deadpool Fart Joke" width="567" height="249" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/dp62.jpg 567w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/dp62-300x132.jpg 300w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px" /></a></p>
<p>Daniel Way&#8217;s run sacrifices the drama of previous runs for a lot more blood, guts, and gags. High points include Deadpool pitted against Wolverine, Super-Skrulls, and Norman Osborn. If you&#8217;re looking for pure entertainment, Daniel Way is often credited as being the funniest Deadpool writer &#8212; saying a lot for a character known for his humor.</p>

<h3>Deadpool Volume 3: The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly</h3>
<p><a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/51rp8VtY40L._SX321_BO1204203200_.jpg"><img decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-23293" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/51rp8VtY40L._SX321_BO1204203200_.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Deadpool Volume 3: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" width="323" height="499" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/51rp8VtY40L._SX321_BO1204203200_.jpg 323w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/51rp8VtY40L._SX321_BO1204203200_-194x300.jpg 194w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 323px) 100vw, 323px" /></a></p>
<p>Stepping into a more modern time, Marvel had the genius idea of teaming up writer and comedian Brian Posehn (&#8220;Mr. Show,&#8221; &#8220;New Girl,&#8221;) with comic veteran Gerry Duggan, and then teaming that team up with illustrators Scott Koblish and Declan Shalvey. A comic run so awesome, it needed four people to steer it.</p>
<p>The 5-issue series The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly features everything we love about Deadpool &#8212; off-color jokes, relentless violence, and the return of his luckless ethos.</p>
<p><a href="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/deadpool_the_good__the_bad__and_the_ugly_by_samuraijack-d63oijt.jpg"><img decoding="async" class=" wp-image-23294" src="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/deadpool_the_good__the_bad__and_the_ugly_by_samuraijack-d63oijt.jpg" loading="lazy" alt="Deadpool: The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly" width="307" height="455" srcset="https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/deadpool_the_good__the_bad__and_the_ugly_by_samuraijack-d63oijt.jpg 735w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/deadpool_the_good__the_bad__and_the_ugly_by_samuraijack-d63oijt-203x300.jpg 203w, https://bensbargains.com/thecheckout/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/deadpool_the_good__the_bad__and_the_ugly_by_samuraijack-d63oijt-692x1024.jpg 692w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 307px) 100vw, 307px" /></a></p>
<p>But Deadpool&#8217;s not alone in this masterpiece. He teams up with none other than Captain American and Wolverine, plus a team of dollar-store, knock-off X-men from North Korea. Sometimes regarded as the best Deadpool story, it&#8217;s undoubtedly one of the finest.</p>

<p>With just two weeks until the launch of <em>Arrested Development</em> season 4 on Netflix, the streaming video company has released the first teaser trailer for the 15-episode season. All episodes will be released on Memorial Day weekend (May 26), so fans of the series can binge-watch the entire run immediately. I don&#8217;t know about you, but I could watch hours of Job performing failed magic tricks to Europe&#8217;s <em>The Final Countdown</em>.</p>
<h3 style="text-align: center;">Arrested Development Season 4 Trailer</h3>
<div class="video-shortcode"><iframe loading="lazy" title="YouTube video player" width="620" height="360" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/C5ddjzGft0k" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<p><em>Arrested Development</em> stars Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Jeffrey Tambor, Jessica Walter, Tony Hale, Will Arnett, Portia de Rossi, David Cross, and Alia Shawkat in addition to Ron Howard as the narrator. Detailing the insane lives of the Bluth family, the show was revived by Netflix due to the rampant popularity of the first three seasons on DVD, Blu-ray and streaming video.</p>
<p>The show aired on FOX between 2003 and 2006, but was eventually dumped by the network due to low ratings. In fact, FOX cut the final season from 22 episodes down to 13 and dumped the final four episodes on the same night that the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics aired on NBC. According to <a href="https://www.vulture.com/2013/05/arrested-developments-persistent-cult.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">this stellar Vulture piece</a> about the fans of the show, it was replaced by a horrific reality show called <i>Skating With Celebrities </i>(which lasted a grand total of seven episodes)<i>. </i></p>
