It's not your fault... It's not your fault.... No, No, Not You, Man

The saddest commercial ever, and Jesus. They're not kidding. What an awful, exploitative, effective way to sell a product(whatever it is).

Below is the full-length commercial for Nike's Write the Future campaign for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa. There's no shortage of rock-star athletes throughout the commercial including Christiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Ronaldihno, and sure, why not, Roger Federer, Kobe Bryant, and Homer Simpson. Needless to say, billions of people will be tuning in to the World Cup when it kicks off June 12th, and Nike looks like they're positioning themselves to be a pretty dominant presence throughout the tournament.




Bonus:
Here is a parody of that bizarre-o Zombie Earl Woods (Tiger's Dad) commercial that came out when Tiger was making his comeback to the golf scene after his sex scandal. I'll never think of the Nike logo the same way again.
