The Bridgestone Commercial

[iacas]

Bridgestone is airing this commercial where a guy hits a ball through a series of cloud-like tires that then materialize and fall to the earth before rolling towards the green (where he holes out). Unfortunately:

1) The guy hits a snap hook
2) The guy is teeing off from near a green (there's a change in cut and a bunker within 30 yards of him)
3) He gets a hole-in-one on a par 4?

C'mon now, Bridgestone - every time I see the commercial I think "stupid Bridgestone" not "I should buy their tires."

What are you talking about?

Why in the hell doesn't looking at Stuart Appleby's face not want to make you run out and buy tires! A lot of tires! The ad is top notch. Guy hits it through tires, they appear out of thin air and drop and roll in bunkers. It's perfect.

What are you talking about?

I'm pretty sure Stuart is NOT in that ad. I'm not talking about that dumb "BOOM" one.

I like Bridgestone products, in fact in the late 80's early 90's I raced a couple of their mountain bikes.

What I don't get is why they are pushing tires and golf - OK, they're the same company but I don't see the advantage of pushing tires to golfers.......

Don't golfers have cars??

No, we all get by with push/pull carts

Okay let me step on what I sadi before, yes I can understand why to advertise tires to anyone for that matter. I just don't understand why Bridgestone keeps pushing tires and golf balls together. Also like I said, I like Bridgestone products so this isn't a slam on them

I thought the Bridgestone ads with the flying tires was pretty dumb, but I like the one where they hit the ball through the concrete block wall...

If I started listing the commercials that I thought were dumb, or missed their target audience, I would be here all night.

Their TV advertising may be lackluster, but their on the course use of well endowed women in tight t-shirts with "BOOB BOOM" accross the chest is the best I've seen. There was a pack of about 8 of them at the US Open, so we followed Freddy for quite some time. Funny, I don't remember seeing him......
