It was removed because it did not earn the #1 rank spot. It had a lower like ratio than other ads. They either had a glitch or were hacked.

The Budweiser ad is still ranked #2. Maybe a system error?

I don't know what site you were looking at, but it had the most likes (probably because BlackBerry was telling its many followers to go like it, but still)

The fix is in. Too many tech blogs poo pooed the commercial before they found it was top ranked, somebody has to save face some how now. Samsung ranked #39 and Blackberry #1, somebody not happy.

And why would they do that?

**Tre Lawrence** · 02-04-2013, 12:13 AM

If the votes followed the guidelines, it should stand, no? Even though I am not a fan of "get the vote" drives, if they don't break the rules, tally should stand.

IMHO.
