Greatest Commercial Ever?
I can't resist sharing this classic Coca Cola commercial. It brings a tear to my eye. Watch the men's faces closely. The spot says so much -- far more than Coke intended, I'm sure -- without a word spoken.
By the way, "classic" also means belonging to the highest rank or class. In fact it's listed as the first definition at thefreedictionary.com. So I'm okay.
Hi Sheldon, I didn't watch the Super Bowl either (I had seen the commercial before courtesy of Google News Top Stories). And yes, I know "classic" means more than "vintage."
"Classic"? It's from the 2011 Super Bowl.
ReplyDeleteI don't watch the Superbowl. I thought it was older.

ReplyDeleteLooks very much like the ridiculous India-Pakistan border charade at Wagah, including the colour of the uniforms.
ReplyDeleteThanks, I hadn't seen this.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a beautiful movie on the same theme called Joyeux Noel (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0424205/)
Thanks for the movie reference. It goes to the top of my Netflix queue.
ReplyDeleteWhen Cokes don't cross borders, armies will.
