Lil’ Wayne – Gatorade Commercial

Gotta give it up to Gatorade, they hired a good marketing firm AND they got my attention. I saw this ad twice last night when my two least fav teams in the Pac 10 (GO BRUINS!) & Big 10 (GO WOLVERINES!) were playing against each other in my yearly despise of the Rose Bowl. Immediately after I saw the ad, I tried to figure it out. “Is that Weezy on the voiceover? Was this an ad for Georgetown? Did Nike create a new “G” shoe I didn’t know about? What the hell? Who could get Bill Russell and Ali?” My search on the iphone came up with nothing. Luckily, this morning I found out what it was but its not till tonight that I got the video. I think it was a brilliant move for Gatorade (now “G”) to steal the marketing ploy that Cloverfield used to get people talking about their brand. Internet nerds rule the world. Spotted via Wooohah
