lol there's going to be so many of these.
And even though I find the spoofs to be pretty awesome, I think the original commercial is great. Its ballsy, simple yet powerful, and its refreshing to see a company take a chance with their advertising in a time when so many are playing it painfully safe
It also makes me feel like Nike must think the public are chumps who could buy this emotionally manipulative shit.
Advertising is all about being emotionally manipulative. Whether or not it works all depends on the individual, but I applaud Nike for taking a huge chance.
I'm sure Tiger was closely involved with it (At least, I assume he was). But its the humility that makes it so good. I think it took a lot of sucking it up on Tigers part to agree to it. His father and banging mistresses; probably the two touchiest subjects for him in the past couple years. I'd love to hear the conversation when the agency brought up the concept to him
I know, but this goes a little beyond the usual "drink coffee from Tim Horton's and you'll have memories to cherish forever," or "eat at Swiss Chalet and improve your relationship with your estranged child" crap we're generally subjected to.
when we all know he'd still be out chasing tail if he hadn't been caught in the first place
Then the Masters head dude basically scolding him in a statement yesterday. Oh noez, Tiger! How dare you fall off of the pedestal we put you on???!!! SHAAAAAME!
The only thing missing is a single tear falling down his cheek.
Easily the hands down winner.
