You know a commercial has to be good when it has Scarlett Johansson in it, but this may be a letdown for a lot of guys out there since FOX banned the Super Bowl XLVIII commercial the actress starred in. Surprisingly, it has nothing to do with inappropriateness, as it was about her firing shots at Coke and Pepsi at the end of the commercial.
Take a look at the commercial below, as it's for the company SodaStream:

Didn't see anything wrong with it, and a lot of other people wouldn't either. SodaStream's CEO was outraged by this and compared FOX to China for banning the commercial, via USA Today:
Daniel Birnbaum, CEO of SodaStream, bitterly complained to USA TODAY late Friday that Fox rejected the Super Bowl commercial “because they’re afraid of Coke and Pepsi.”
That’s the line that Fox has demanded that SodaStream kill, says Birnbaum. “What are they afraid of?” asks Birnbaum. “Which advertiser in America doesn’t mention a competitor? This is the kind of stuff that happens in China. I’m disappointed as an American.”
What do you think of the commercial?
