Methinks steroids are very serious for such a light approach.

don't disagree about steroids being a serious topic. the humor reasoning behind this was to push the audience of teens to share it with friends online with the idea still centered around a winner becomes a fake, fraud, asterisk message in the end. perhaps you'd appreciate the previous spot don't be an asterisk execution better. Had a more serious "Friday Night Lights" feel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gxRpEGuhM4&feature=related

What a piece of crap. The worst spot I've ever seen about steroids. You think teenage boys are going to be scared of using steroids because of this spot? No way. I can't believe Chiat did this.

Hysterical - keeps my attention and makes a great point. Nice.

@MarkCD80 - do you really think scare tactics work on "invincible" teenagers?! Seems like this is actually a smart way to go since the only thing they actually DO care about is their reputation And the only thing they DO watch is something entertaining!

Anyway,

I like the fans and the goalie who shows up in the cow scene. lol
