  What Was Your Favorite Super Bowl Commercial?

super bowl logo Muscular wrestlers and shapely lingerie models shared the spotlight with football during Sunday's Super Bowl telecast in the year's biggest attraction for both the NFL and Madison Avenue.

The World Wrestling Federation and sexy fashion peddler Victoria's Secret were among 30 advertisers who paid Fox television an average of $1.6 million for each half-minute Super Bowl commercial slot.

That's a Super Bowl record and is 23 percent higher than last year's record of $1.3 million. It amounts to an average of $53,333 per commercial second and is roughly three times the highest-rated TV series in prime time.

Research has shown that 7 percent of the Super Bowl audience tunes in just to see those expensive ads and more than one-third expect to discuss them Monday morning. That said, what was your favorite series of commercials during Sunday's Super Bowl?
