Super Bowl 'Rio' commercial reveals secret behind Angry Birds easter egg
14
Last night's blockbuster football contest might not have featured the most hee-larious advertisements in all of Super Bowl history -- but you can't say they weren't rewarding. Take, for instance, the trailer for 20th Century Fox's Rio, which featured a split-second image of one of the avian protagonists of Angry Birds, as well as the numbers "13-12." A few of the game's more dedicated players have cracked that riddle -- firing off the birds in a specific sequence and direction on said stage unlocks a special, Super Bowl-themed level, provided you've updated to the most recent version of the game.
Check out a video after the jump to see how the bird-firing maneuver is properly executed. Also, we'd like to see more video game easter eggs in television commercials, please. Trust us, ad executives, it's good for you too -- we must have watched that freaking Rio commercial like, twenty times now.

The update left my game somewhat broken. It force closes on my phone every few levels plus it deleted all my completed levels so I have to start all over.

I agree with having DP. I think it would be better than this crap they keep giving us.
AngryBirds sucks btw. (I'm just really bad at it is why)

It's not like it's live...he had as many chances as he wants to win the level.
