Mike: I have a VISA card that gives me points toward all Donkey purchases. I just can’t get enough of that store!

Ryan: I’d almost put it out of my mind. That was some terrible interlacing. But at least it’s got color.like.no.other…

Did you watch the "Making of" featureette? HORRIBLE combing/interlacing in QT7. Who let that go to the web!

The ad itself is undeniably fantastic though.

I think what would have ultimately put this commercial in the stratosphere with the “Where’s the Beef?”, “Avoid the Noid”, and other all-time great ad campaigns would be if they replaced the super bouncy balls with super bouncy donkey magnets. My two cents.

Please allow me to clarify, since my prior Bucket and Bootsy link blew up. Here she is in all her glory!!

Looks like computer generated balls to me….. but I can’t see the balls too clearly on this POS monitor at work, no matter the “res”. Also, I think the experience would’ve been enhanced by a Buckethead and Bootsy Collins duet instead.

I loved the frog getting attacked. Run, frog, RUN!

Curious, though -- did you catch the previous commercials for the BRAVIA on television? "The television for men and women!" My only guess is that the set gets both Spike and Lifetime.
