I caught this ad during the Steelers/Brown game this weekend after hearing my brother’s friend talk it up. I love this ad for one very specific reason: the music playing in the background. For those of you who may not know, it’s the score to Michael Mann’s Last of the Mohicans. If you haven’t seen that movie, make sure you add it to the top of your Netflix queue immediately and bear witness to the awesomness of Daniel Day Lewis.
Well I did some Googling and found out via Awful Announcing by way of the AOL Fanhouse that no other than Michael Man directing that ad and used his music in it. Armed with that knowledge that clip clearly has some of his style to it. Let’s hope that Nike can keep these quality adverts coming.
I was listening to Fox News on XM and they covered a story coming out of Nephi, Utah. Unfortunately, this time it has nothing to do with the cult that is Mormonism. Oh and how I do love me some Mormons. In a particular neighborhood, a family has a 13 year old “developmentally delayed” son who has the aquity of a 3 year old. The neighbors of said family are tired of this little fella running amok up and down the street. He was throwing rocks at the other kids, wandering into houses, and so forth. The neighbors have called the cops, nothing has been done. Their solution was to erect a sign:
Now that takes neighbor feuds to a whole new level and I APPLAUD THEM. In my years of neighborly battles I have never escalated to DEFCON 2 like these guys have. I don’t think that sign hangers are to be criticized and condemned. This family has to be able to reel their kid in, put a helmet on him, and feed him some mashed potatoes or something. The last thing I would want to hear at night is the wailings of a “developmentally delayed” youth. So now ever advocacy group in the state of Utah is jumping on these guys asses. Advocates for the “persecuted” family are equating the use of retard as a racial slur. I’m sorry but that’s apples and oranges you tree huggers. I don’t think this sign has the same impact as say …. a burning cross? I mean the Nazis put up signs saying “Achtung Juden”. So now, this family that has been dealing with Corky all this time are on the same level as the KKK or Hitler? I THINK NOT. What ever happened to personal responsibility in this country? How is this our problem?
I get sick and tired of this politically correct bullshit. It’s just a matter of time before the Zombie Hordes are unleashed from the depths of hell.
