The Olympic Winter Game coverage from Vancouver has sparked some interesting ads. Some good thinking from someone at Visa had a ‘Congratulations on your first gold medal at home’ ad in the can–ready to be played at the first commercial break following that event.
But perhaps the most perplexing ad, for me, is this one showing American athlete Phelps swimming his way through solid objects to the games in Vancouver–with the help of a Sub, of course.
Setting aside Subway’s attempt (and success) in angering McDonald’s, did anyone at Subway realize swimming is a summer Olympic sport?
