John Daly Commercial CBS Would Not Play

[Mikey]

I just happened to see this commercial that CBS would not air with John Daly with Maxfli.

Bad commercial but since when does CBS speak for the moral majority?

Here is the link to the video- John Daly

That's the most genius thing I've seen all week.

It reminds me of the golf movie that a few of my buddies had the idea of shooting this summer...we'd get the cheapest camcorder possible, duct tape it to a golf cart, get drunk on cheap beer/vodka, and see what happens...

Moral - I wouldn't be surprised if they banned it because of his singing!! Horrible, just Horrible - stick to golf John

Man that singing is TERRIBLE. The commerical isn't the worst thing in the world, it's half ways entertaining if you can get that horrible bellering that Daly calls singing out of your head.

I wonder if the fact that they show the backside of the female lifting her shirt has anything to do with it?

Unfortunately for John, his singing is better than his golf.

Go to this link for the story, or at least part of it.

I'm sure that doesn't help, along with the beer drinking and well, the general theme of the commercial. Still, it's not like that stuff isn't splashed all over public televesion already. C'mon... who cares. It's an entertaining commercial. Interesting image Maxfli is shooting for, but then again they sponsor John Daly and I can't think of anyone else they have so they may as well roll with it. I also read somewhere Maxfli saying that the commercial isn't promoting beer drinking and that the liquid is apple juice. LOL! I mean... yeah, it might really be apple juice but how many viewers are going to think that when see John Daly driving his golf cart in a wreckless manner, buying "apple juice" from the beer..uhh, beverage cart girl. Ahhh... funny. Run the damn ad, who cares.

CBS nor, it turns out, the folks at Maxfli really wanted to be seen as promoting "drinking and driving" (a golf cart). They show drinking frequently on TV, you're right, but not while driving vehicles.

That being said, I didn't find the content objectionable because I'm not so big a moron a commercial is going to sway me into drinking and driving a golf cart. I don't even like to drink OR ride a golf cart, let alone do 'em together.

While not wishing to seem a bit too "holier than thou," the idea of using an out of control, obese, cigarette smoking, alcoholic, gambling addicted baffoon, who goes from one divorce to the other the way some people go through golf balls, as a spokesperson for anything is really pretty pathetic. Rather than celebrating his dysfunction, it would seem to me that he should be encouraged to seek and stay with some sort of counselling program. Daly is obviously a tremendous talent, and it is a shame to see such a talent squandered. It is equally appalling to see such behaviour celebrated, much less tolerated. Maybe I'm just getting more cranky as I age, but our society continues to get more and more coarse; our toleration of Daly's ludicrous image and behaviour is but one example. I can't imagine anybody but the most addled brained person who would want their child to turn out like this fellow. Yet, we tolerate his use as a spokesperson for golfballs, grips and other things. I'm sure by the time he's had his third stroke, he'll be hawking Depends for the incontinent set. The thought and question I have is not whether CBS should play this commercial, which I watched, but why anybody would want Daly as a spokesperson in the first place? I love this sport of golf. There is something so ethical and pure about it; something a little more than that which other sports seem to have. Promoting bad behaviour on a national scale just seems to diminish the game. Of course, all this is just the opinion of one fellow. I'm sure there are those out there who find Daly and his antics amusing. I don't wish to offend those people. I just wish we would honor our past and, perhaps, contribute a little to the future of our game by not celebrating or tolerating the kind of behaviour in which Daly chooses to indulge.

oh man was that painful to watch....pretty funny though

[total consciousness]

Daly is the man.

Poor john. Unfortunately the year alot hoped he would have is becoming a nightmare. He's got too many demons and judging from that commercial his focus is not on golf. Buddy please go to AA, and get some serious long term counciling.

I am convinced it's the singing!

They could cut the "objectionable" parts out, is that video longer than a standard commercial spot?

Amen to that.
