NBA Christmas Day ad features Jingle Hoops

I know, it's the middle of November and it's way too early to be talking about Christmas.  It's not even Thanksgiving yet!  But hey, I've already endured my first snowfall of the winter and the local oldies station has been playing Christmas music since Labor Day, so we better just accept it and move on.

Jean-Claude Van Damme’s awesome stunt for Volvo

Jean-Claude Van Damme's stunt to show off Volvo's dynamic steering is phenomenal. Van Damme performs the splits, his trademark move, between two moving Volvo trucks. The trucks slowly part and Van Damme is left doing the splits between them as they move backwards down the street while Enya's "Only Time" plays.  Wow.  http://youtube.com/watch?v=M7FIvfx5J10?rel=0 Great stuff […]

This Red Bull Vampire commercial is ….

http://youtube.com/watch?v=2DbiBAKzVVo?rel=0 Maybe because it's Halloween Red Bull thought they could get away with this nonsense, but not since the Herbal Essences orgasm in the airplane bathroom have I seen a commercial so pointless.

Coca-Cola creates a park in a commercial that’s too good to be true

Coca-Cola rolled out a park in a dismal, gray landscape in their most recent advertisement.
