    Taco Bell's Super Bowl commercial is the most watched

    By | Yahoo! TV – Mon, Feb 4, 2013 12:11 PM EST

    Age is nothing but a number, as Taco Bell's 2013 Super Bowl commercial showed. Ratings are just a number, too -- and in this case, it's a very high one!

    According to TiVo, Taco Bell's ad was the most watched spot of the entire game. In the commercial, set to a Spanish version of Fun.'s "We Are Young," a group of retirement home residents sneak out for a wild and crazy night of dancing at a rave and then get tattoos.

    TiVo collected data from 30,000 of its users on which ads were viewed and played back. Other commercials that grabbed viewers' attention: Doritos's "Goat for Sale," Hyundai's "Pick Your Team," Doritos's "Tea Party," and GoDaddy.com's "Perfect Match."

    "Taco Bell commercial" was also the second-highest search term on Yahoo! for Super Bowl commercials, second only to Dodge's "Farmers" ad. Doritos, GoDaddy.com, and Budweiser rounded out the top five.

    Interestingly, a real-time analysis using mobile technology by Frank N. Magid Associates and React Labs found that the top commercial was the Budweiser "Clydesdale" spot. Taco Bell did not land in their top five most engaging ads.

    Still, the Taco Bell "Viva Young" spot was universally considered one of the evening's best by the Twitterverse:

    • How Blogger Spun Abercrombie & Fitch CEO’s Comments Into a Chance for Change

      Blogger Jes Baker is blasting popular clothing brand Abercrombie & Fitch for trying to define beauty with a number. Abercrombie & Fitch CEO Mike Jeffries has recently come under major fire for comments he made to Salon.com back in 2006. He talked about the store's refusal to sell anything bigger than a size large and only wanting the "All-American kid with a great attitude and a lot of friends" to represent the brand. "Omg! Insider" sat down with Baker, who is fighting back with Abercrombie ads of her own, where she poses topless with a male model and reinterprets the A&F letters to stand for a message she truly believes in, "Attractive & Fat." "I don't really care what Abercrombie really truly thinks about this, to be honest with you. I don't have the energy to dislike Mike Jeffries," she said during the interview. "There's so much negativity in the world, it doesn't need to be perpetuated." Baker also included an open letter to Jeffries on her website, the Militant Baker, criticizing the company for its narrow view of what beauty really is and promoting the idea that every size is beautiful. "The only thing you've done through your comments (about thin being beautiful and offering XL and XXL in your stores for men) is reinforce the unoriginal concept that fat women are social failures, value-less, and undesirable," Baker wrote. "Well, actually, that's not all you have done. You have also created an incredible opportunity for social change." Check out this vid to see what else the blogger has to say about the brand, and for more from her interview, tune in to "omg! Insider" on television tonight. Continue reading →
