"Reebok advert"

Has anyone seen Reebok's latest TV advert? Well I think it's pointless and has nothing to do with Reebok. All it has is 50 Cent counting up to 9 (because he got shot 9 times) and then him laughing at the end, it doesn't show anything to do with Reebok except the Reebok logo.

But surely they shouldn't be able to do this because it's basically advertising shooting and gangs to youngsters, but to make it more effective they've made it a Reebok advert won't little children start gangs and shooting? Or am I just being stupid?

Also, in 50 Cent's 'Candy Shop' video at the end when hes in the car does anyone actually know what he says? He speaks really weird and he did the same in that New Simpsons episode on Sunday.

Oh and he's featuring in in Jamie Foxx's album due this year which ios a suprise.

I can't remember where it is, but there's something called 'Rocket N*gger' on the net, which started off as a very crappy and very funny paint picture, about a black superhero with a rocketpack on his back.

But it evolved a bit and somebody made a 'game', where the whole point is to get shot as many times as you can so your 'respect' meter goes up.

Made me laugh.

Now, I wanna watch that "Candy Shop" video again just to try to make out what he says. I couldn't watch too much of the other video of his, umm.."Disco Inferno." Eek! Strippers! Like OMG!! Cover your eyes son!!

Was the "Belly's gonna get yer" ad for Reebok? If so, they may as well give up trying, as they will never, ever top that.

Allen Iverson, one of the most famous basketball players in the world.

reebok were going down the drain a few years ago, but have improved thier image with people like 50. They also had pharrel williams who just oozes coolness, but that went pear shaped.

Yeah, that was Reebok.

What an advert indeed.
They had a series of good adverts for a while actually, like the couch chasing the guy around the house as he tries to go out for a run or something.

lol, I remember that one.

Reebok sponsor Liverpool. And Wales. So they're my ultimate sports clothing brand.

Not that I actually buy anything that's Nike or Adidas or Reebok. Oh, except my gym trainers. And they're Reebok, come to think of it. But it wasn't a concious choice.

That Simpsons episode didn't make me laugh once.
