Superbowl 2000 Ad

9 years ago this weekend, surrounded by a massive winter storm, several thousand people made the trek to Fedex Field in Washington, DC to watch the Superbowl at a private party hosted by MicroStrategy

It also represented the unveiling of MicroStrategy's superbowl ad and the MicroStrategy pre-game show. Us, the Pets.com sock, lemurs... It came to be known as the dot-com super bowl. After searching for many year, I finally found that ad...A symbol to the "good-old days" of what could have been...of billions of dollars of "paper money" lost in a single day.
