    Old banned Nike commercial



    Honestly, why this commercial was banned is beyond me. I only saw it once when I was like 10, and it's the only Nike commercial that I can vividly remember in detail.

    Seriously, how could a freaking shoe company get this right but all these new cutting edge horror directors blow it with all the new crap they're putting out now? The psycho killer's expression of 'aw the hell with this' at the end is just priceless!

    wow. cool find. never saw this back in the day, but it would have undoubtedly been seared in my young horror-film-loving memory forever upon first viewing as well.

    odd to see michael myers lookin-guy with a chainsaw, though.

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Whoa, that was cool. I don't see why it was banned, either...

    I think it was also the fact that it was pretty cutting edge for its time. Remember, I did say that I saw this back in the early 90's. As far as tv commercials went, I don't think anyone had attempted to use a scary theam for product advertisement that much back then. The only other horror theamed commerical I can think of around that time was an Alien Pepsi one. Plus, our standard of what was acceptable on regular tv has been really pushed quite a bit further over the last 20 years.
