What Exactly Are They Selling Again?

As I slog through the summer "offerings" from the networks (more on that later), I often catch the errant commercial before I can grab the remote to hit the skip button. Commercials have long pushed the envelope of taste and decorum in an attempt to get our attention, but recently I've seen a few that caught my eye for the wrong reasons.

Tiger Woods Nike Commercial


This takes some context explanation for those not familiar with professional athletics (Jefe), specifically golf. The voiceover is a recording of Tiger's late father Earl Woods, asked a decade ago what he would ask young Tiger about his career in Golf; now used here to ask him about his famous sexual scandals.

Oh, and to play emotionally on the notion that the audience should pity and forgive the first billionaire professional athlete.

See anything delightfully creepy lately?
