Paintball Commercial.....

[joshweinerhead]

it was just on ... yea .. that makes paintball look REALLY SAFE ... i love how the ref got plastered in the back and they were wearing like shop glasses

Just aired, Im waiting for AO to start whining about lack of masks and barrel plugs.

But who really cares? Whats the percentage of paintball players watching the superbowl that are actually going to be offended by this. There is no reason for them to use masks. Our sport isn't being misrepresented.

It was a great commercial, and it was cool to see paintball on tv.

Boy is it hokey. The ref is just wearing blades type shades, and I only saw one guy witha full face mask. Everyone else isn't wearing goggles, or no face protection at all.

I just saw it, it aired about 5 niutes after the game ended.
Its Really kinda funny. Definatley be worth downloading & puttin on the desktop.
didnt see anything bad about it unless you want to scrutinize.

Budweiser had the best commercials by far...there were about 4 that made me LoL.

A link to the ad

Before you start complaining go see the ad. You can find it here: www.budweiser.com and click on "see our ads".
Then start the complaining.
BUT, before you do, please consider this . . . this is not a documentary, it's not intended to be a real life depiction of paintball. It's just a commercial. And a very funny one at that.
Speaking as a video producer (I'm the owner of 1 Shot Productions) if I was to make a commercial, or movie, or anything other than a documentary, I would do the same thing. You can't show facial expressions and the like when a person is wearing a mask. When we make commercials like this,we 'go over the top' as the AB guy put it. Look at the Cadillac commercials. Is anyone complaining that the car really can't outrun sound? Or the one with the monkey on their back? Is that realistic?
Just take the ad for what it is. A chance for people to see paintball.
And if the guys at AB get flooded with angry letters form angry paintballers, they may never do another ad involving paintball again. And we don't want that, do we?
