Big Leather Couch

We found this commercial today and think it is brilliant. This is a commercial for Pepsi which is scheduled to appear during the Super Bowl.

A bit of a back-story first...as we have mentioned, we went to Rochester Institute of Technology.

Affiliated with R.I.T. was The National Technical Institute For The Deaf (N.T.I.D.)...

During our freshman year they were building a new dorm for the Deaf Students. When it opened, it was pretty interesting. Every room had a set of strobe lights. One was for the door bell, one for the fire alarm. One night the alarm went off and we sat and watched the 'light show' as the 10-story building lit up like a Christmas tree...

In almost every class, there was an interpreter for the Deaf Students.

When we pledged TKE Fraternity, we were the first pledge class of any fraternity on campus with Deaf Students. We pledged with three Deaf Students. It made our task of "being one group" more difficult.

We had to sign to them when anyone was asked a question. Whether the original person to answer was right or wrong, everyone needed to give the same answer...We did learn to sign back then for that and also, because when we were a Freshman the ratio of guys to girls was about 9 - 1 and most of the best looking women were deaf... We have retained some of the ability, but have forgotten much of it over the years.

This is a big step for a major company, and to spend the money on a huge event like the Super Bowl is a big gamble...It will be interesting to see the reaction in homes and bars around the country when the game goes to commercial and there is complete silence...

Enjoy...

HEY WTF!!!!! It is part of OUR JOB to keep Doc calm during the show....Now he has some so-called 'experts' coming in to handle that....I mean WTF!!!!
