Someone should put together a bunch of commercials that were rejected by CBS for the Super Bowl; they’ll be much more entertaining than the ones that made the cut. Leading off Stubby Clapp’s Video Vault today, that Mancrunch.com ad that’s been in the news, which CBS is still “considering” for the Super Bowl. Don’t hold your breath. (UPDATE: CBS has officially rejected the ad).

Gay Ad — Too Much for CBS? Site spokesperson Elissa Buchter told CNBC that site officials were told that CBS was sold out of all its spots, as late as yesterday, even though that was not the case. “We’ve been unable to get a response since then,” Buchter said. “I think they’re just going to stall as long as they can so it doesn’t appear as if they are rejecting the ad.” [SportsBiz with Darren Rovell]

* WWE’s Al Snow failed TV ad. A sexy, nameless reader brings us this entry into that Super Bowl commercial contest organized every year by a popular snack food. Anyway, I’m told that this video wasn’t one of the finalists, despite the fact that it features the awesome former WWE wrestler Al Snow, pioneer of the “JOB Squad” gimmick around the turn of the century. He’s on the indie circuit right now, but he looks like he can carry himself onscreen. He’s like a sexually ambiguous Bruce Campbell, but in a good way. [With Leather]
