Why show Super Bowl ads early?
Lately, companies like Audi, Honda, Pepsi, and others have been showing ads that they plan to show on Sunday during the Super Bowl early on YouTube. Not just teases, the full ads themselves.
What exactly is the reason behind this? Hype buildup? Or would it cause the interest to be lost come Sunday?
Audi, for example, has been showing it's "vampire slaying" ad on TV past midnight lately, meaning that whoever has seen it at that time already knows what happens.
Me? This makes no sense whatsoever.

Five Guys now in Waterford
Burger restaurant chain Five Guys, famous for customizable burgers, opened in Waterford today.
The chain has grown rapidly, opening several locations weekly across the US. I took Mom and Mark to the Waterford one for lunch today.
Having had Five Guys before, I knew what to expect, having had good burgers before. Let's just say I was not dissapointed at all. They offer complimentary peanuts that you can have while waiting for your burger. Also you can get either regular fries or Cajun fries in either regular size or large size, no value meals here.
They are in the Waterford Place shopping mall on M-59 near Cresent Lake Road.

Prince Fielder now in Detroit
Yesterday, MLB player Prince Fielder signed a nine year deal to play with the Detroit Tigers after leaving the Milwaukee Brewers for free agency.
The news came days after learning that Victor Martinez will not be playing this season due to a torn ACL, in which placed the Tigers as a surprise contender for the second most-coveted free agent after Albert Pujols went to the Aniheim Angels.
This means he will play for the team that, interestingly enough, his father Cecil Fielder played for in the early 90s.
