Brands NOT advertising this year
You might have expected to see these companies' ads.
Remember the Olympic ads start five days later.
- Visa and McDonalds
- Sources said McDonald's was particularly miffed last year when its "Lincoln Fry" spot got spectacularly poor reviews among critics and consumers. The company had decided last year that if its spot didn't make the top 10 in the USA Today poll, it would not be back in the '06 game, sources said. McDonald's had no comment.
