lance
i love it when i come across something so good that it compels me to make a post that i've been meaning to make anyway. great article about one of the best sports commercials ever. great descriptions and the commercial is about the great lance armstrong. also, when you follow the link to watch the commercial, you'll notice the ad for the $1 "live strong" bracelets. looks like they're completely on back order - if anyone has some or has access to some or knows where else to get some, comment back. i've had a great g-ma die of cancer, a g-pa just survive melanoma, and L's parents are 3 time survivors combined. good stuff and they're only a buck.

It's like the old gatorade ad's of Jordan ("be like mike") that just leave you captivated, but this one is even better. there aren't too many commercials that i will just there and watch in amazement. this one, i do. why, b/c it's lance. he's just awesome. and the wearyellow campaign has got to be one of the best ideas in the world. i read a few weeks ago where nike initially made 8 million and had already sold 6 million with every single penny going to cancer research. 'i've got mine, where's yours?' is what everyone is thinking.
yeah i heard 5 million, but it looks like they're all gone or at least on back order from the store nike links to.
