While I am already head over heels for another JT, I really liked this commercial. Full disclosure, as you saw in my last Pepsi Superbowl ad-plug, it came to me not via the Internetz, but via some NMS teammates working on getting it out there. I still like Bob’s House better, but I understand that you have to provide variety in advertising, so some superficial, some humor, some profound… = all good.
I would never claim to be the fastest blog on the block to break things, unlike my other cool NMS teammate Ben, for example… I do like to post the good stuff as soon as I can. I think having a direct line to Superbowl ads before the Superbowl is pretty cool. So, yea, enjoy!
In addition to liking the video, I also like the idea of Pepsi Stuff going in the DRM-free direction. Hullllo… it is about time these things evolved and am glad to see big brands like Pepsi and Amazon getting hip to it. I digress.
And so, to all the JTs of the world, Justin Timberlake (featured here) and my <3 Jesse Thomas and, also, our DC friend in the 2-oh space, Justin Thorp… pour one out, a Pepsi that is… to get closer to the ones you love.
UPDATE: Perez Hilton has it up as well! (they must have snagged it from lb.com… riiiiiiight, haha)
UPDATE2: HuffPo shows love , yay!
PS - I HATE HOW MY BLOG TEMPLATE TREATS YOUTUBE VIDEOS… HIT AND MISS EVERY TIME… SOS TO ANY DEVELOPERS WHO KNOW WHAT IS UP… HOLLER, PLZ… WORDPRESS + YOUTUBE = KTHXBAI.
PS/UPDATE: Jesse saved the day. Code gypsies had infiltrated my embed code and added superfluous lines of code… gypsies will do that, beware.

Working at a new media company (NMS, holler!) that does online promotion work and encourages its employees to watch and buy and blog and play online all day long… I see a lot of videos. I mean, A LOT. People send me these videos… some good, some funny, some not so good… most get buried in my Firefox tab farm (rows and rows and rows).
BUT THIS ONE WAS AMAZING.
SO AMAZING, that I asked if I could blog about it as far and wide as possible (i.e., here and on on Jesse’s blog here… maybe on Facebook later, if I can find that tab). Full disclosure: this video is a NMS client’s video. If you would like to see the “making of” — please click here (I would post the video, but my blog FLIPS OUT when more than one video is posted in the Code section at once, have tried many things, thanks to Brian Devine for his patience, btw; PS/UPDATE: Jesse saved the day. Code gypsies had infiltrated my embed code and added superfluous lines of code… gypsies will do that, beware.)
I HOPE TO SEE MORE COMPANIES THINKING THIS WAY ABOUT ADVERTISING. GO PEPSI.
