This is one of the catchiest commercials I've seen in a long time. Actually, I kind of wish it was a real song. I'm not sure how they could build out a full song out of that commercial spot, but its still really cool.

There's even a cave base jump.


EDIT: It is a real song, a version of an old campground round called "I love the mountains."

Fun times, no wonder the song was so catchy, but the commercial as a whole makes me want to set my DVR to record the entire day of programing.

I liked the commercial. Didn't care much for the music, what good is it to me anyways?

Oh and that dude talking to the camera with the F3 tornado roaring behind him is fucking nuts!

It's been on everything that I've DVRed over the last 2-3 weeks. I thought it was catchy too. So did Cheese's Avitar make it in but my Mexican dude can't. I'm legal I swear!

Dude, I was already humming it in my head before I even logged on to DZ.com this morning!

no kidding, that song was in my head forever, and they only say it once in the commercial!


I like the dicovery bit, now someone just needs to figure out who was doing the BASE and where? I'll wait here while someone figures it out

I will be kissing hands and shaking babies all afternoon. Thanks for all your support! *bows*
