newVideoPlayer("/VW-Gol-Commercial.flv", 494, 371,""); What do a rocket-launching black helicopter, a phalanx of black Humvees, Gisele Bundchen and Sylvester Stallone have in common? Aside from high price tags, they're all in on the pitch for the new VW Gol. No, not Golf. Gol. The made-for-Brazil Gol is built on the Polo platform and runs a 1.0 or 1.6-liter inline four, which, as you can see in this video, is more than capable of outrunning Humvees and helicopter gunships alike — all while toting John Rambo to his next Botox treatment. While all that is happening, Ms. Bündchen is making a sales pitch in Spanish. Guess V-Dub decided to blow the whole ad budget on one commercial. ( Hat tip to Michael Adams! )

newVideoPlayer("AImustang_Jalop.flv", 494, 390,""); The image associated with this post is best viewed using a browser. If you thought the GT500KR in the Knight Rider made-for-TV movie was a disgusting piece of product placement, you ain't seen nothin' yet. What could be worse? How about the four remaining contestants in American Idol massacring Johnny Cash's song Ring Of Fire ? What makes it extra terrible was the so-called "music video" which involved the Idols bullfighting with a Mustang which was apparently the cousin of KITT . Feel free to watch the clip with your sound turned off— we don't want to scar you. [ americanidol.com ]

You know you've made it as a hard partying celeb when your's is the face chosen by paranoid delusionals as that of drunk driving incarnate. Lindsay Lohan is just so lucky. Her 2007 DUI mugshot is featured prominently as the example of those kinds of people who need an in-car breathalyser ignition interlock, versus you know, the regular drinky-drivers. It's all part of a newspaper ad from the confusing folks at Interlock Facts who want to make sure those dastardly "anti-alcohol activists" don't get to put a breathalyser in your car. We hate to break it to you "Interlock Facts", but on the list of things to be paranoid about, this one is pretty damn far down. We do give you points for your mean-spirited ads though. Full spot below the fold. Paid for by the American Beverage Institute , eh? Why would they care?

newVideoPlayer("Kobe_Aston_Jalop.flv", 463, 387,""); Say what you will about Kobe Bryant, you can't deny the guy has some serious jumping capability, or "mad hops" as they say. But can he really jump over an Aston Martin DB9 Volante? More importantly, did he actually jump over it, or was it all a slickly edited fake? We're skeptics, but what do you think? [kb24.com]
