I wrote a post before saying how much Gatorade impressed me by including the coolest, autistic, sports star on the planet in their ad, and then they go and outdo themselves tonight on their Super Bowl ad.
[The Mac Daddy brings it at about 15 seconds in after the actual ad starts.]
Jason McElwain needs a new nickname at this point. Maybe like “Sir J-Mac Daddy” or something befitting his achievements.
Now that’s what I’m talkin’ about!

I never saw this before, and its really cool…but they kinda ruined it for me with Tiger Woods. I know Gatorade dropped him now, but yuck…I kinda hate to see his face mixed in with real heroes.
Yeah, that was one video that didn’t hold up well with the passage of time. Stupid, Tiger Woods. Still, seeing Jason in there was a transformative moment. I can’t begin to overemphasize how happy that made me.
