Sprint wants you to make better use of your thumbs while driving
Fernando Alonso recently had his thumbs insured so if we were him, we’d steer clear of comedians Ken Jeong (Knocked Up, The Hangover) and Joel McHale (host for The Soup) for now.
The two comedians recently partnered with Sprint to wage a war on thumbs, that is thumbs that are used for texting. You can come out now, Fernando. You’re thumbs aren’t in any danger.
In the never-ending crusade against texting while driving, Sprint has released a PSA featuring McHale and Jeong, both of whom are leading the war against the perils of texting while driving. Texting while driving is one of the biggest reasons teenagers in America are getting into more car accidents these days so, if you’re willing to join the war against this latest trend, Jeong and McHale have a simple message for you: put a sock on those thumbs! That way, you won’t be inclined to text when you’re behind the wheel of your car. Check out the video for the full PSA.
Ford has yet another new Mustang commercial to air tonight on American Idol
Ford must be burning throught its advertising budget quickly given that they’ve released a number of commercials for the new Mustang – both the V6 and the 5.0 GT. After showing two new commercial ads the last two days, we have here number 3, which will make it’s TV debut tonight during the American Idol results show.
Ford initially released a 60-second version of the ad, but immediately pulled it in favor of the 30-second version. Either way, we fully expect the longer version – maybe this one too – to be shown on TV during AI. Admittedly, we’re big fans of the show so we probably wouldn’t have missed it even if Ford didn’t release the commercial ahead of this evening’s show. However, now that they did, we can show it to you, but you still might want to tune in tonight for the Top 6 elimination episode. We know we will…to see the Ford commercial on air for the first time, of course.
Hyundai unveils all-new Accent at the Beijing Motor Show
‘
Lost in the hooplah surrounding the more highly-touted models in Hyundai’s sedan line – we’re looking at you Genesis and Sonata – is the kid brother in the family, the Hyundai Accent – or Verna, depending on what part of the globe you’re in.
Well, kid brother finally got his chance in the spotlight after Hyundai unveiled the Accent at the 2010 Beijing Motor Show as the Verna. With design cues that look eerily similar to the Sonata, the Hyundai Accent comes with a number of engine platforms, including 1.4-liter and 1.6-liter variants that, according to Hyundai, would come with either a five-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission.
The Accent is scheduled to drop in China at the latter part of the year with the other markets scheduled to follow suit sometime in the next year. In the meantime, you can check out this video of the 2011 Hyundai Accent getting his moment in the sun in Beijing.
Hyundai’s Superbowl Ad features Brett Favre still playing at 50 years old
Brett Favre may not have made it to the Superbowl but thanks to Hyundai, he’s still going to be part of the show.
Hyundai’s Superbowl commercial features no less than the gunslinger accepting a holographic Superbowl MVP trophy. The only problem is, it’s 2020 and Favre is 50 years old. In true Favre fashion, Old Brett accepts his trophy yet still is undecided about his future.
On the contrary, Hyundai assures you that its 10-year/100,000 mile warranty will still be covered at that time, leaving us to ponder that if Hyundai can be so decided on something like this, why can’t Brett Favre do the same?
In the word’s of the brand’s tag line, think about it, Brett.
