    Also: There was nothing wrong with your old logo. Everyone recognized it.

    The one I saw had a Jack Black / Joliet Jake comparison that made the commercial suck less.


    Hey Pepsi: You're still #2. Have a Coke and smile.

    The Taste of a New Generation...Sucks Like Coke II.


    Too bad it happens to be my generation. As for Dylan...sure he sold out, but he's also got a long history of not giving a shit what you think of him and screwing with the press and rabid fans. So I'll let it slide.

    Nissan's getting some good airtime for the good ol' Figaro in that Travelers commercial too:


    I know I shouldn't, but I love that freaky little car.

    I saw the Cube and got really excited and yelled to all my friends, "it's an ad for the new Nissan Cube! Awesome!"


    Then the ugly-as-hell new Pepsi logo came up (that thing looks like the Old Spice commercial, I don't know whether to drink it or spray it on my armpits) and I realized it was another boring, bullshit feel-good generational gap cliche.


    What does that say if you're young like me and actually like old things?

    Good for Nissan. I now have a far lower opinion of Pepsi however. I mean, they couldn't have done a comparison of say a vintage woody wagon and the new Ford Flex? You know, show a little support of America during these times? Nope. Darn commies.

    @IH_kumicho: Name one thing the Cube does that signifies chance, innovation, or anything revolutionary whatsoever. Oh yeah, its just another car. At least the Flex can boast advanced iPod integration, forced induction, and direct injection. Youth? Most "youths" I know drive old Civics and Escorts, with the occasional Chevy truck.

    @BRAWNDO_POWERED: I see.. Although, I'm not seeing much difference between the Scion xB, Nissan Cube, and Honda Element. If those are the cars youths are supposed to drive, then I want to be old(er).

    @Ford Tempo Fanatic: The first-gen xB was driven by hip folks of all ages. The new one's driven by... nobody at all. And the Element appeals to the 25-49 demographic, primarily, due to its utility... the youngest person I know who owns one is around 30, and he has greyhounds. Or maybe they're whippets, I forget.


    Anyway, I'm 17, and I drive a Volvo 240. So.

    @Fluffy, Pushbroom: In my humble opinion, a Volvo 240 is has a higher "cool factor" then that of the Element, xB, or Cube. But I also like Ford Tempos, so. Yes.

    I forgive Dylan for breaking his non-commercialist ethics for the Victoria Secret commercial. I would break all sorts of my ethics for Victoria Secret models.

    I totally thought this commercial was for Nissan before it ended. "Fool me once, shame on - shame on you. Fool me - you can't get fooled again" - George W. Bush.


    I have a feeling, though, the cafeterias and vending machines at the Big 2.5 are all switching to Coke after this.

    I actually thought it was a Nissan ad for a while. I figured the Japanese could get away with butchering a Dylan song and blame it on cultural differences.

    It's cheap and hideous as well. With Valentine's Day coming up, buy your woman something from La Perla or Agent Provocateur. It's slutty, yet extremely high quality.

    Should the need arise, it's good to know of options outside of relatively poorly made stuff. At the risk of sounding like a yuppie LA hipster douchebag, American Apparel gets the nod in the labor relations department.
