The kgb blog Text your question 542542. We answer to you.

The Huffington Post is running a contest to pick the Top Banned Super Bowl Commercial and our kgb commercial, banned by CBS, is in the running.

I posted on Monday that CBS has banned one of the commercials we submitted from airing during the big game. We really do think the ad is hilarious and so do many of kgb’s fans.

So go to huffingtonpost.com and vote for the kgb video. Be sure to watch it while you’re there too, so that our youtube views go up.

Everyone I’ve shown the commercial to loves it. So show it to your friends and post it on your facebook profile.
