OK...I am going to be oh so blasted for this, but I found the commericial boring. I had to watch it twice just to understand what they were saying and the production was so cheap looking that if they spent more than 20 dollars for it they got ripped. You know I am all for rebuttle on statements that are false, but couldn't they have done a better job. I find it truly hard to believe that people are saying it was a great commerical. Are you serious or am I just crazy. Either way as long as the point gets across that is most important.

The fact that it looked cheap presumably is because it was put together very quickly so as to have an immediate retort to the dishonest and exploitive ad by Fox. That the producers of this ad were able to get such big names to accept and participate so quickly (obviously the Kurt Warner portion was a quick but definitive statement using the camcorders limited microphone) makes this ad very powerful. In fact the productional beauty of the Fox commercial comes off just as it is - slick production values to covered adorn a specious presentations. The counter ad is a no-frills, star-powered and heartfelt ad. More honest and more effective.

Therefore this ad rocks!

Naps, that is exactly what Madison Avenue is all about. We have to be smart enough to hear the message and look beyond the glitter of the ad. Your question begs another: why did the MJF ad cost more than $20.? All he did was sit and talk. I was taken back by the degeneration of his health. It saddens me. His message is still about embryonic stem cells. Should an adult stem cell research cure him tomorrow, would he still support ESC experiments? I think so.
