While it’s definitely not the first time that Verizon has taken a public jab at AT&T, this new iPhone 4 commercial is certainly rather harsh. Youch! [TechCrunch]
I couldn’t even guess what the commercial was advertising on my first go around, it was that awesome. For those who’re curious, the amazing commercial is marketing the sucking power of a vacuum cleaner, the LG Kompressor Elite. [The Awesomer]

BMW will tell you. BMW flashed an audience with a blinding light that included a cutout of their logo. When the audience was told to close their eyes, they still saw the letters: BMW.

What exactly is the story that the woman’s reading in Amazon’s Kindle ad? It appears briefly on the screen before the camera pulls back to reveal the beach. But now I’m almost sorry that I asked…

Nissan remixed that spot a few months ago and replaced the bouncing balls with bowling balls. Yes they did.
I’m still shaking after watching this. I’m not joking.
