Business Insider: ‘This Amazing Video Is Why TV Is Bigger Than the Internet’

Business Insider: We don't particularly like Nike and we really don't like soccer, and yet we watched it three times this morning from the moment it appeared in our RSS reader.

Totally inane. What kind of men play with balls on their heads?
Is that some kind of sport?

txmike   May 23rd, 2010 - 4:26 pm

Awesome video and I would not have seen it except for on the internet. Internet good. TV fail just like O.

Lamdog   May 23rd, 2010 - 4:33 pm

No matter how you dress it up it is still soccer.

Joker face   May 23rd, 2010 - 4:35 pm

Good video, lots of action, drama… but you still can’t dance to it, I give it a 5.

NEOFREEDOM   May 23rd, 2010 - 4:37 pm

NIKE, BEAUTIFUL !

briany   May 23rd, 2010 - 4:50 pm

And this made it on breitbart??? WTF???

B   May 23rd, 2010 - 4:51 pm

I’ll take the web…it weeds out all the superfluous noise & gets straight to the point. Soccer fails to impress me too.

The_Professor   May 23rd, 2010 - 5:02 pm

Soccer. The world’s sport. It is said that America is the only nation on the face of the earth where soccer is not revered as the national game.

Which is yet another example of American exceptionalism and superiority.

Bill Smith   May 23rd, 2010 - 5:03 pm

It’s that “WHEEEEE, I’m an AIRPLANE!!” running around with their arms out victory thing they do after scoring a goal that totally turns me off.

KindlingMaker   May 23rd, 2010 - 5:04 pm

“Business who?”

I think it’s BS. The revolution will not be televised.

Sickofobama   May 23rd, 2010 - 5:31 pm

I guess you have to be a non-American to like soccer.

Obama must love soccer.

Aaroncoal   May 23rd, 2010 - 6:02 pm

Totally lame. A commercial is why TV is better than internet? A commercial about soccer? Epic fail.

Yester   May 23rd, 2010 - 6:11 pm

Greetings brain slaves. If you are watching sports you are part of the problem.

TexasStomp   May 23rd, 2010 - 6:25 pm

BLOODY BRILLIANT! NOW THAT’S TV!!!!!

sage   May 23rd, 2010 - 6:37 pm

wilmac   May 23rd, 2010 - 6:42 pm

Paul in TX   May 23rd, 2010 - 6:42 pm

Metric football. Pfffh…

Just Weight   May 23rd, 2010 - 6:47 pm

All you old guys, just wait. One more generation of young’ens playing the greatest game in the world and baseball will be regulated to tennis standards. USA will wake up…you cannot stop it.

Paul   May 23rd, 2010 - 6:58 pm

How dare they depict a dark-skinned man being pwned by a light-skinned man in a sport of any kind?
I suspect they used some sort of “trick photography”!

Fred   May 23rd, 2010 - 7:28 pm

American, and I and my sons love soccer. Go World!

Seansie   May 23rd, 2010 - 8:01 pm

Hell yeah, soccer (immediately falls asleep)

ArizonaHoss   May 23rd, 2010 - 8:07 pm

What is that sport? Are those middle-schoolers playing?

meh

Sarah Palin Is An Idiot   May 23rd, 2010 - 8:23 pm

Track Palin was a crystal meth and prescription drug addict. After he was arrested for slashing public school bus tires in Wasilla he promised to enlist in the army to avoid prosecution.

Bristol Palin is well known for having a child out of wedlock, getting pregnant because Levi was “good at sports and drove a cool truck” – told at Candie’s 2010 Teen Pregnancy Prevention Council. Bristol used a fake ID to get into a trendy Manhattan night club last month. According to several classmates, Bristol was also a heavy crystal meth user. TRIG IS BRISTOL’S DOWN SYNDROME BABY, RESULT OF DRUG USE AND INCEST!

Even 15-year-old Williow recently broke into a vacant home with friends and destroyed property after drinking and using drugs.

Piper is Sarah’s 8-year-old shield that she drags around whenever reporters confront her in public.

If these children were behaving like this in a CIVILIZED city, not Wasilla, they would have been taken by Child Protective Services. THE PALIN PARENTS ARE TURNING OUT A NEW GENERATION OF SPOILED WHITE TRASH!!

Mick   May 23rd, 2010 - 8:42 pm

Soccer – The Sport Made for Wussies!

unkeeaf   May 23rd, 2010 - 9:15 pm

What does this mean? Cool video, but I’m not getting it.

Homer nutmegged…LOL!

dwroberts   May 23rd, 2010 - 9:21 pm

Ooooooooo! Pretty pictures! That move! And make noise! Me want!

Sarah Palin Is An Idiot   May 23rd, 2010 - 9:30 pm

Obama was a crystal meth and prescription drug addict. After he gets arrested for crimes to many to list we can straighten AMERICA back out.
John Edwards is well known for having a child out of wedlock, getting a pass because the main stream media sucks.

Even 125-year-old pelousi recently broke her jaw brushing her teeth, but since she saves so much money using immigrants in her winery she can afford the doctors standing by.

Biden is an 85-year-old shield that obama drags around whenever he needs someone to campaign for a democrap cause obama’s help is the kiss of death.

If these children were behaving like this in a CIVILIZED city, not Washington, they would have been taken by Child Protective Services. THIS ADMINISTRATION ARE TURNING OUT TO BE A NEW GENERATION OF SPOILED LIBERAL COMMUNIST TRASH!!

JBnID   May 23rd, 2010 - 10:47 pm

If there was a point to that it wasn’t apparent in the first third and that’s all I could stomach of it. So, if it was a commercial I missed it. If it was a documentary I didn’t understand it and if it was just noise and flash about nothing it was great.

mike D   May 23rd, 2010 - 10:49 pm

Umm.. I have no clue why the Author Headlined this “That’s Why TV is bigger… etc.”. Sometimes, especially when a person is writing something as an expert, he/she should do some serious thinking.. BEFORE they write something out of stupidity to the world.

How many of you actually realize Television is over 60 Years old ? How old is the Internet ? Please, do us a favor and THINK FIRST !

Skip in Burbank   May 23rd, 2010 - 10:49 pm

Most people will see this on the Internet.

mike D   May 23rd, 2010 - 10:54 pm

Yep! And it’s Here Forever !

RobbieK   May 23rd, 2010 - 11:08 pm

Ugh, Soccer. It is so not a popular sport in the U.S.

heh   May 23rd, 2010 - 11:11 pm

soccer is a gay sport.

cobalt-bue   May 23rd, 2010 - 11:24 pm

I honestly don’t understand what the point was. What does this have to do with television verses internet? It’s basically a celebration of soccer? So what? I live in a nation where soccer is THE game. I still don’t get it’s appeal.

johnny   May 24th, 2010 - 12:58 am

I don’t get it?

Mike   May 24th, 2010 - 1:13 am

TV is a joke.Just an advertisement and propaganda tool.Now more than ever u should see why they call it an “idiot box” Sure out 1000 channels I enjoy 10.Sorry not worth the cost for that weak ratio.Political correctness,racist programming,repeats,5 mins of your wanted show then 10 mins of commericals,etc. I mean its like u cant have a show on nowadays unless u meet these prerequisites.

Have a fat dumb hillbilly,a muscle bound minority,a gay couple,an interracial couple,a pedophile,a jesus freak ( I mean floppers ),tweens having sex or pregnant,oh and how many political messages are thrown in there,even on shows that should have no politics in them…and so on.Sorry I’ll pass on the social justice programming and brainwash.

I mean u can’t even get real facts anymore but from a few shows.If friends or family lie to me once too many I distant myself from them,no different for tv.

Video was nice,but soccers is boring no matter how fast u speed up or which angle u shoot it from.

james   May 24th, 2010 - 1:21 am

thats why the world hate americans, we dont give a s##t about soccer,or formula one racing.soccer is for young kids,and girls in the olympics.hows that compared to american football,nascar,indy cars,baseball,and basketball. the world is jealous of our sports, thats why we have so many foreignriers trying to glob on. i know europe,and latin america loves american football.

Nikes Video Production   May 24th, 2010 - 1:30 am

The Birth of a Video

a)Take one very old pair of Nikes.
b)Grind up Nikes and make a “joint”
c)Smoke “joint”
d)Make the above video.

Petra   May 24th, 2010 - 1:32 am

Is it over yet?

InternetBiggerThanTV   May 24th, 2010 - 2:38 am

Do people still watch television? Vapid, pre-programmed junk tied to a physical location produced by group-think leftists. No thank you.

Read a book…or a blog.

Eurobrain   May 24th, 2010 - 6:45 am

This Amazing Video is truly “Amazing”.
Nowhere but nowhere are any sponsers logo’s featured, aside that it is from Nike.
Thank’s to their censorship, this dog’s dinner of advert will have everybody getting excited about nothing. A bit like NASCAR deciding everyone will race in identical cars with identical sponsers messages.
I can only assume it was aimed at those who, how can i put ? don’t regard soccer as their favourite sport.

Hans   May 24th, 2010 - 9:00 am

who are ya who are ya

heymoderators   May 24th, 2010 - 9:25 am

@Sarah Palin Is An Idiot May 23rd, 2010 – 9:30 pm
Love it. Keep it up. At least until the “moderators” notice. If they do, and pull your comments, hold their feet to the fire.

maximinimus   May 24th, 2010 - 9:54 am

Basketball, Football (US), Ice Hockey, Baseball

You can count the countries that play it seriously on one hand.

Football (known as Soccer in the US) you can count the countries that don’t play it seriously on ONE FINGER !

Football is played with the foot not the hands.

Football The Beautiful Game !!!

ChuckyCheese1   May 24th, 2010 - 10:07 am

lol, exactly.

roger b   May 24th, 2010 - 10:13 pm

I’m waiting for the web to give me a viewing that does not fill my computer with viruses. I’d give anything to have all the EPL games available like the NFL is on DirecTV. I’d love to see soccer but it isn’t carried on TV, cable or the Dish. Sad. Apparently, TV contracts somehow prevent them from being streamed live. Guess it is better not to show a sports program rather than join this century’s technology. I’d pay per view live streaming on -line, but Setanta only have rugby on that…. who watches that make-up-the-rules-as-you-play game? No one has been able to explain Rugby to me.

Eurobrain   May 25th, 2010 - 5:51 am

Dear roger b
Explaining the rules of Rugby (and there are two codes : Union and League) would be a walk in the park compared to dealing with enquiries about Cricket.

Great Europe   June 6th, 2010 - 3:55 am

Poor lmited Americans ! Your comments on soccer here just show how limited people you are ! This video is for people with a minimum of culture and it was made by people who understand what the world really looks like ! Did you notice Roger Federer in this add ? no of course…and all the others ? Just because you are ignorant of what’s going on in the real world…
