Okay, while I hate all singing shows, the blatant ripoff of Mad Max mad me laugh. ---

I thought the one for the cruise line was kind of strange. Who was the narrator supposed to be? It almost sounded like they were going for a Kennedy accent, but not quite. ---

Still an odd effect for a cruiseline commercial. It was a speech at the start of the America’s Cup, not anything particularly official. [http://home.comcast.net/~ceoverfield/sea.html](http://home.comcast.net/~ceoverfield/sea.html) Incidentally I thought it was a fantastic commercial for a cruise line, but I grew up sailing. ---

Don’t you think the poor dude at GoDaddy is watching the game (or at least looking at the commercials on YouTube) on his computer - they never did show what was being displayed on his screen. Is that the “replacement” commercial? I’ve seen better produced self-shot videos on porn sites. ---

I am the only one who finds it incongruous every time a Woody Guthrie song is used in a commercial? Especially when it’s “This Land Is Your Land”? Especially to sell a Jeep?
