Time Waster: Happy Holidays

December 23, 2009

The latest MVPuppets spots from Nike hit the intranets over the weekend. And if these recent ads are any indication, they will just keep getting better. Now, I don't want to spoil the surprise, so I'll just let you know that they feature a couple of hip-hop's finest. Enjoy.




Timewaster: Awkward Awesomeness

October 27, 2008

Yesterday me and the LCG were taking in our weekly dosage of football, when this commercial aired.



After watching I was in a brief state of bewilderment; not with the awkwardness that Phelps and A-Rod can bring but with the amount of showmanship Kobe can give. He did his best at channeling Joel Goodsen, and I think by rocking it, he saved this commercial.

Its been a day since watching it and the haze has been removed by my lack of short-term memory but I am still left questioning why Tony Hawk is wearing a helmet. Its not like they made A-Rod carry a bat, or told Kobe to hold a basketball, or even have Phelps wear rubber floaties. Do they think the general public is so dense that they wouldn't be able to recognize a national icon without his safety equipment? Or was Hawk just worried about being struck by the flailing members of his boxer-clad co-stars? And if so, wouldn't goggles also be necessary?
