Okay, I admit it. I miss this commercial a lot.

It was goofy and sappy and pulled just the right strings but it was still a damned good commercial. Mean Joe was certainly not a choirboy, but at least he kept his stuff to himself.

And now I read in my paper that Jay-Zee, noted criminal, is going to make gazillions shilling for Reebok.

<sighs>
 
Spoilers: Jay-Z goes through a tunnel after a concert and a young child gives him a pair of reebok shoes. Jay takes the shoes and says the N word a bunch of times and then starts shooting at the kid.

He has an image to protect.
