A use for those 3D glasses

I was just reminded (by an article on Superbowl ads and their prices) that one of the highlights of this year's Superbowl Advertising Funfest is going to be a 90-second, 3D commercial for Monsters vs. Aliens. While I do have a mild opinion about the game itself -- I'm rooting for the Cardinals, both because they are clearly the underdogs and because they're not the Steelers -- it's largely about the ads this year, and this looks like the biggest of the bunch.

What I don't know for sure is which *kind* of 3D they're using. Can they do polarized 3D over ordinary TV? Does anybody know if the ad is going to be red/green or polarized? If it's traditional red/green, I'm sure I have a pair of glasses or two sitting around. (If nothing else, there's a pair stapled into last week's remarkably bad Final Crisis: Superman 3D comic that I can probably bear to remove...)

Facebook does have its uses...

... and one of the better uses is goofiness. I call your attention to this fan page, which is described by its mission statement:

A glimmering vision of hope outshining the sun on a certain cold wintry day in January, tears of joy and the swell of optimism bursting from two million citizens' hearts as they focus their expectant gaze in one direction... you know what we are talking about and that is why you are here. To celebrate this vision of change, this paradigm shift, this sparkling, glittering vision, yes... Aretha Franklin's inauguration hat.

It's currently up to 77 *thousand* fans, and growing rapidly...
