I was reading something just now, and the old saying "To err is human" was used. Something popped into mind, and I am so annoyed at not thinking of this years ago and contacting Nike through my PR contacts. But (even though they still sell the Michael Jordan shoes as a major part of their product line) it's too late at this point. However, they should have used as an ad line -- "To Air is Inhuman."

This is actually very convenient. As a friend said to me, who needs protestors when Teslas vandalize themselves!  If you didn't see Last Week Tonight with John Oliver on Sunday, his Main Story was on tipping. Yes -- tipping! Not shockingly, the report is very entertaining, and interesting, as well, since the world of tipping has a lot of sides to it, including things that most people I suspect are totally unaware of. But the bottom line is that it's a very good piece and often very funny. To continue the festive, if weird holiday, here are a couple of fun videos not from the movie, but related to it. The first is a really wonderfully-done TV commercial that first aired for the 2020 Super Bowl. This is the long version. And these are a series of commercials (I think there are eight) that were by the inventive advertising agency owned by Ryan Reynolds, and made in conjunction (I think...) with Jimmy Kimmel's company. They star Stephen Tobolowsky, who played insurance salesman 'Ned Ryserson' in the movie of Groundhog Day. Some of you may have seen this already, since they've started to promote it, but if not this is a pretty fun and clever upcoming Super Bowl commercial. I can't imagine what they were paid, but given the amount of attention it's gotten, and that it actually sells the product unlike a lot of Super Bowl ads, it may be one of the few that's worth it. |
