SDRacer48 Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I am a United States citizen, and I have the utmost respect for our soldiers that serve for our country. They do something that I do not think I would ever have the courage to do. I go out of my way to thank them. This first 95% of this commercial expresses exactly how I feel about the brave men and women that serve my country. No matter what other country you live in, and how you feel about war and conflict, anyone can understand what I mean. Here is the commercial: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osTrMe76kes&hl=en&fs=1 Now the last 5% of that commercial is why this is in the laughs section. Really? That is the product that commercial was promoting? Not the United States Army, or at least just a general public service message. I find that hilarious. What made it even funnier, was the commercial that followed immediately after it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyX4WpTEIc8&hl=en&fs=1 Halfway through the commercial, I said to myself, this is by the same company for the same damn product. You know what, I was close. Absolutely hilarious! Two commercials in a row that had absolutely no concrete connection with the product they were advertising. No signs, hints, or clues before hand. Awesome marketing tactic, because it worked!!! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/113973-a-salute-to-our-troops/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
