Be grateful for TV... For while everyone watches their life evaporate into the unmemorable atmosphere... You've got a head start to erect your unforgotten place in history. Are you still sitting there?

  • To quote Bill Hicks: "He's going for that anti-marketing dollar! That's a huge market!"

  • While what's said is a vastly under-expressed sentiment, slapping a corporate logo at the end of the commercial (however minimal in its marketing) is self-defeating. Most viewers are too cynical to take the message seriously otherwise.

    Now get off the damn computer.

  • The anti-commercial commercial. Brought to you by Nike via Converse. Obvious ad is obvious.

  • This ad is pandering bullshit.

  • i know sooo many people have already brought this up, but converse is saying "be individual... pave your own path..... originality is cool... but while your at it, buy a couple pairs of converse like everyone else.... BUT BE INDIVIDUAL!" irony alert. i like the pageant commercial, until they put the converse sign at the end. i was hoping it was just an anti-pageant commercial. they are soo degrading.. anywho... back to converse and their hypocracy....lol.

  • Exactly. bye

  • If I wasn't saving money for the coming great depression, I would buy a pair of Converse shoes.

  • This commercial was just fine till they took a stab at video games outta nowhere. Converse is just getting desperate since all the 90s kids no longer like to pose their not so "classic" shoe anymore. What a load of corporate marketing crap. Sucking and dying is the only thing left for this shoe brand.

  • maybe the fact that everyone wearing the shoes, are pprobablky sitting home watching tv, playing video games, and altogether, not caring.

  • Nope.

  • This ad in nutshell:

    STOP PLAYING GAMES. STOP WATCHING TELEVISION.

    *buy Converse*

    DO SOMETHING TO HELP THE WORLD

    *buy Converse*

    GET OFF THE COUCH AND DO SOMETHING

    *like, for instance, buy two or three pairs of Converse shoes*

    Could the irony be any sweeter than what Converse has displayed in these ads?
