To mark Super Bowl XL, multiplatform programmer, Heavy.com, is offering a selection of commercials that were rejected for inclusion in Super Bowl broadcasts.

Visitors to the site will be able to vote for their favorite rejected commercial. "The Super-Banned Bowl is for those companies and organizations who were denied their inalienable right to spend millions of dollars for 30 seconds of glory during the Super Bowl," co-CEO Carson said in a refreshingly tongue-in-cheek prepared statement.
