People say it was rejected because of “firearms”, but I’m skeptical. Take a look:
Here’s what MrColionNoir has to say about it:
Seriously that was one of the shittiest commercials I’ve ever seen. Funny thing is that until the narrator mentioned “protection” I actually thought it was an ad for whatever garbage Ford SUV the guy was driving, and I was annoyed that YouTube “Skip Ad” countdown didn’t pop up. Daniel Defense should be ashamed they didn’t come up with anything more creative… hell right off the top of my head put spokesman Larry “The LAV” Vickers on a clydesdale horse, shirtless, galloping in slow motion, eating cheeseburgers, holding an American Flag, and that would have been a billion times more memorable and effective. P.S. – That idea was free in case you want to step your game up in 2014 Daniel Defense. I also would consider a temporary TV ad consulting position if I’m not busy.
I don’t like / watch sports… better things to do like nap and eat. When are doctors and engineers going to start getting football level salaries? That would be a perfect world. Although, incorporating advertising into those two professions to fund that might be a bit difficult ;)
Thoughts?
