labrys 0 #1 January 27, 2004 Has anyone seen this ad? I hope this isn't a repost. I saw it at a restaurant on a TV with only closed-captioning but it looked pretty fun.Owned by Remi #? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blahr 0 #3 January 27, 2004 It could have been better. The stick of gum went in, though. Didnt seem to hurt it though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
labrys 0 #4 January 27, 2004 What I saw looked like someone who's a skydiver had to have had input. A guy and a woman are on a plane and share a piece of gum..... the caption says "Go Go Go" and they guy jumps. A piece of gum in the womans pocket jumps out after him and appears to taunt him when he pulls..... then the gum burns into a tree and gets up shaking it's little gummy fist at the sky. The last caption says something close to "Extra.. the gum that never gives up" As always: Editing for spellingOwned by Remi #? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dgskydive 0 #6 January 27, 2004 I saw the Halls commercial. Ehh. Not much to it. I am still waiting to see the Verizon commercial they filmed out here last year. The ones with James Earl Jones. I have seen the water skiing and the one wear he dances. My friend Scott did the skydiving one and it has not appeared yet.Dom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #7 January 27, 2004 Yup, saw it. Nice commercial. It almost looks like it was done at 'Snore, but I've never been there and I only know the DZ from the air from pics/videos I've seen. That looked like a Beech 18 they jumped out of though, infact, it looked a lot like Eloy's old Beech. Does Elisnore have a Beech 18? Not a bad commercial, no one had a mal, no one burned in, nothing crazy, maybe it'll help spike some intrest in our sport.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

NBC showed it a few times during Leno and Conan tonight. Nice to see the jumper was using a BOC and not some stupid rip-cord setup. Anyone else notice the jumper dropped both his knees when he went to pull? Pretty funny as a skydiver to think that a simple solo belly jump is marketing genius!_________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me....

heltzer 0 #16 February 16, 2004 Shot at Perris. Scott Smith played da Jones. He had to wear a black ski mask (which a little cgi replaced with Jones' face) and a body appliance to look heavier. The things we go thru to be on TV... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
