Associated Press and 25 others

Feb. 6, 2007 -- Budweiser and Bud Light once again dominated the Super Bowl ads, but it was the entry of amateurs that caught the eye of several marketing experts asked about the annual advertising showdown, which some said didn't pack the punch of previous years.
Other experts also welcomed the YouTube-inspired infusion of new ideas into Super Bowl advertising, but some were skeptical about whether this was the beginning of a new wave of ads generated by users or more of a one-time event.
WUSTL marketing professor Ambar Rao comments.
