A sign of the times perhaps? Cash4Gold.com is running a Super Bowl spot featuring Ed McMahon and MC Hammer.

The New York Times has a good piece today about the spot and the “funny but not flippant” tone we’ll be seeing Sunday: see it here.

And here’s a previous ADWire piece about the toned-down nature of advertising these days. 

I was going to post the spot here, but it seems that it’s been yanked from YouTube and the Cash4Gold.com website too just in the past hour or so. Replaced with a “Come back February 1″ pop-up box. (A personal note: I know you want your ad to make a “splash” on Sunday, but why bar it to those of use who will promote it for free in other ways??? This is so frustrating. )
