Between that one and the NBA basketball ad with Marvin Gaye, Nike has been money.

Is it weird that I got goosebumps during that?

Good ad

It annoys the hell out of me. But then, most ads do.

Did the ad mention how appropriate it is that the Olympics are held in the same country where most of Nike's slave workers live?

The best Olympics commercial by far:

Slap-Face

That would be, I believe, Wieden-Kennedy in Seattle.

Worst ad of the Olympics- that stupid Go World Visa add. Give me a freakin' non-opinion holding, don't want to offend anyone break! Your airing the commerial in the USA for god's sake- it's ok to say Go USA! Where has all the patriotism in this country gone?

The VISA ad is probably from Chiat Day in LA.
A friend of mine (a fellow Texas-Ex) worked on the proposal and wrote the pitch to win the VISA contract (for everything). BUT... he left the company and has been in NYC for the last 15 months, so don't blame him for the crappy Olympic commercials.

The NIKE ad is slightly different down here. Or maybe I've just seen the :30 version. Same song and I think everything in the commercials down here are in the long commercial.

WHAT I LIKE:... is their tagline at the start-

"EVERYTHING YOU NEED IS ALREADY INSIDE"

-So you're tell me that I don't really need NIKE shoes after all? Thinks. I'll buy Asics for running and Adidas for soccer then. I appreciate the honesty.

Yeah, I couldn't remember if it was Portland or Seattle. I didn't know if I was thinking of another agency up there, Cole-Webber.

Reminds me of this from a few years ago.
