    Reminds me of Reagan's "It's Morning in America" circa 1984:

    Morning in America

    Here's the Eastwood spot:

  • I'll go Audi Vampire, then Elton John Pepsi, then Eastwood Detroit.

    It is nice to see Detroit making a comeback.

    Haven't watched the Eastwood spot, but I have it open on another tab and will check it out. I liked the Fiat ad with the hottie. I was biting my lip while she was saying whatever she was saying. I thought most were pretty blah though. What did the GE ad lie about? I'm curious.

    They said,
    "At GE we build turbines that power the world. They go into power plants which take some form of energy, harness it, and turn into more efficient electricity."

    That is false because when energy changes forms such, as kinetic to electric, some of that energy is invariably lost as heat. This does not make the energy more efficient at all, since you are losing some of that energy.

    None of them really stood out. I did like the clint Eastwood spot. I will be getting one of those new NSX's though, those are sweet.

    That was a sweet looking car. I thought there were way to many movie / tv show ads. I remember one of the Coke ones being decent.

    If GE's statement is "more efficient electricity" then if the old turbine loses "X" to heat and new GE turbine loses "Y" to heat and Y<X, would their statement not then be true?

    Just a thought.

    I think it's funny how Bud Light is trying to fool people into thinking they have a new beer (Bud Light Platinum) when it's really their old Bud Ice. *puke*

    My fave is the M&Ms commercial. image
  • i kinda laughed when the dorito dog ate or got rid of the cat then bribed the guy with doritos to keep quiet,, lol,,

    Perhaps it's similar, but it's certainly not the same. For one thing, BL Platinum has a higher alcohol content.
  • I kinda liked the woman in the Fiat commercial
    From what I can tell, 707 is the DOLLAR STORE compared to deans_cards. For what that guy charges, if I ever bought anything from him I would expect it to be delivered to me in a frickin' limo.

    5.5%/6.0%... doesn't matter. For the kind of people who drink Bud Light, it's probably not a good idea.

    whats really FU'ed about this commercial,, do these people really need to advertise?, i mean shoot if you have the only turbines that power a good portion of the country they pretty much have you by the knutt sack right,,, stop spending your 3 million a minute and put a dozen or so people to work,, no sense

    Eastwood had power in his words, good spot. Exploding vampires, nonsense.

    Eastwood's gravelly dry voice makes me crave a Bud Light Platinum.

    Least favorite was the GE claim that they make or help make or whatever Budweiser. A blatant display of going halvsies on a commercial. image

    I just read that the Doritos dog spot cost $20 to make -- and Doritos awarded the guy a $1 million bucks.
