"Trek" Super Bowl XL Commercial

Anyone see the Aleve commercial during the first half of the super bowl?

Nimoy is walking through a backstage area complaining on the phone to his agent that he cannot go on because it hurts too much, he just cannot do it. The whole time he is talking he is gestering with his right hand and people are waving back at him. He then enters his dressing room [and I guess takes Aleve....I did not see that point]. Then walks out on stage and the crowd is in anticipation the camera zooms in on couple dressed in starfleet get up Vulcan ears and all and back to Nimoy....who after taking aleve can now turn his waving hand into the classic Vulcan salute. Crowd [and myself] go crazy.

This gets my vote for the best super bowl commercial in this game! The Burger King ad was good too...if only they would leave that hideous king out of it. Next was the B.C. Fedex commercial. The Macgyver master card one was pretty good too as was the Budweiser streaker :)

For those who did not watch the game but want to see the commercials CNN says NFL will re-air them with several veiwing options.

Even better here is a direct link to the TV spot from Aleve.
