Thanks for the laugh Digg at this old Atari commercial for the game Pole Position.

“Heyyyyyyyyy!” the grating voice starts.
And the ending pitch: “It’ll bust your crank and leave skid marks on your soul.”

Why don’t they make video game commercials like this today? Check that, make all commercials with this type of creative zest? They could use a viral campaign that includes the various video sites like YouTube. Just think of how much free advertising companies would get if they made zany commercials like this and of the jibjab variety? Stop fighting with customers and trying to jam commericials when they fast forward and produce stuff that will get dugg, slashdotted and virally promoted like the above commercial.

Commercial opportunities everywhere.
