Two Olympics-related advertisements


The one above ran during the opening ceremonies; if you're a parent, it might choke you up a little.  The one below may or may not have run during the events (I found it at Copyranter); it's a rare commercial that can make me literally LOL.

  1. I don't remember seeing the second one, featuring the pole vaulter, at all during the NBC Prime Time Olympics Coverage, but I did see the first one, with the kids, at least twice, and perhaps more.

  3. If you haven't seen this, it's amazing (the British broadcaster Channel 4's promo for the Paralympics)-

    1. And now that I have seen it, it is still amazing. I've put it on my list of things to blog. Tx, Unknown.

    2. Oops. Embedding disabled. That seems to defeat the purpose of promoting their content. Oh, well... that's their privilege.

    3. Hi there again, name should work now. You might be able to embed from this vimeo version if you still have the will: http://vimeo.com/46021828 (oh and whilst I'm here might as well add to the thanks for providing the best blog on the internet). Best regards.

    4. Bookmarked, hopefully for tomorrow. I often have trouble getting Vimeo embed codes to work. Hope this one does.

    5. sam, I give up. I always have major problems trying to embed Vimeo videos. In the future if something's not on YouTube I'm not even going to try. It's a waste of my time.

      But thanks for the link. It was interesting to watch.
