Commercial Analysis

Yep, I'm on a commercial kick this week. Lets take a look at the recently mentioned Kevin Harvick/Tony Kanaan Reeses Caramel ad:

The music sounds quite porn-ish, circa 1978. Bonus points for the music "stings" that go with the drivers names, which give it a Batman feel ("Pow! Bang! Toyota!")

What's Kevin listening to on his head-phones? My guess is either "She Bangs" by William Hung or "Its All Coming Back to Me" by Celine Dion.

Why the hell is Tony Kanaan walking around with an open jar of carmel? And furthermore, why is he saying "mmm...caramel" into his cellphone? Danica Patrick gets to look hot in Peak ads, and Tony gets to look REALLY creepy.

Is it just me, or does Tony Kanaan look like an atrophied Vin Diesel?

After they bump into one another, you just know that if this was real life, Kevin would beat the crap out of whoever got in his way. Unless it was Greg Biffle, in which case he'd shoot him.

Sadly, this is the most exposure any male IRL driver will get on TV this year. But its not all bad for open wheel racing--several CART drivers found work as grips on the set.

I'm sorry Mike, but I'm still having random bursts of laughter even thinking about this article. People think I'm crazy.
