Nike's new winter Olympics commercial features olympian athletes performing their trade, shown in a video technique of viral motion (hence the human chain), and the Hours' song 'Ali in the Jungle.' Including determined heavyweights Lance Armstrong, Maria Sharapova, Oscar Pistorius, Sergio Aguero, Deron Williams, Mike Spinner, Quinton "Rampage" Jackson and LaDainian Tomlinson, among others, it's no wonder they picked the Hours song, which is a tribute to The Rumble in the Jungle -- a historic boxing event featuring world Heavyweight champion George Foreman and former world champion and challenger Muhammad Ali on Oct. 30, 1974 in Kinshasa, Zaire (now formally known as Democratic Republic of the Congo).With keyboard rhythmic back-beats, the song is included on the indie/rock band's 2007 debut album, 'Narcissus Road.' The single has also been featured on the EA sports game 'FIFA 08,' representing UK.Nike, again, is able to adapt their "just do it" slogan in a indie/rock-fused commercial featuring athletes that will not accept defeat. Check out the commercial below.Source:http://www.aolradioblog.com/2010/02/12/nike-winter-olympics-commercial-song/ Tags: new nike commercial song, nike commercials, nike commercial, everybody gets knocked down, new nike commercial, Nike Commercial Songs, Human Chain, Nike Presents Human Chain Song, Song of Nike, Watch New Nike Commercial Song, Olympics Commercial Songs, Nike Winter Olympics Commercial Son

The conservative group Citizens United previewed a new documentary film for the Tea Party Convention in Nashville a few weeks ago called Generation Zero. This documentary seeks to explain our current national mess by pointing the finger squarely at the way society and culture has been shaped by the narcissistic Boom Generation.This is what I gather from what I’ve read: in seeking to prevent their children from suffering the way they did, the WWII Generation pampered their kids like no other… and the kids took advantage! Now the bill is coming due and future generations (Generation “Zero”) will have to flip that bill and face the consequences of their grandparent’s self-centered follies.OK, I’ll give it a shot, but when hearing that Newt, Krauthammer, Dick Morris, Lou Dobbs, Larry Kudlow, Amity Shlaes, and others contributed to it, that the director Stephen K. Bannon was the same who was involved with In the Face of Evil: Ronald Reagan’s War in Word and Deed, and that a major contributor to the film’s underlying concept was Neil Howe of Fourth Turning fame, it all made me quite excited to want to see this documentary when it hits theaters in March. Here is the Fox Business Channel’s interview with those behind this movie:The early buzz is that it’s very Tea Party activist-friendly because it helps put into perspective the decades of the misuse of our capitalist system by the government and their private sector cohorts into a crony kind of capitalism (which isn’t truly capitalistic to begin with). In the end it may not be any good (I’m yet to see an wonkish economic-based documentary that’s wowed me!), but I like the people involved with it so when I get a chance, I’ll see it and review it for AOR’s audience.Source: http://axisofright.com/2010/02/16/coming-soon-generation-zero/Tags: Boom Generation, Citizens United, Generation Zero, In the Face of Evil, Neil Howe, Stephen K Bannon, Tea Party, The Fourth Turning, Generation Zero Movie, Movie Generation Zero, About Generation Zero Movie, Information Of Generation Zer
The Cleveland Cavaliers have become title favorites Wednesday after acquiring two-time All-Star Antawn Jamison for -- potentially -- very little.The three-team deal sends Jamison and Sebastian Telfair to the Cavaliers, Drew Gooden to the Clippers, and Zydrunas Ilgauskas, Al Thornton, Brian Skinner and Cleveland's first-round pick to Washington. Note that the Cavs didn't have to surrender young forward J.J. Hickson in the deal.Now watch for news of an expected buyout by Washington of Ilgauskas, which would enable the 7-foot-3 center to return to Cleveland after 30 days to come off the bench and match up with the Lakers in the NBA Finals.Jamison was warming up with his Wizards teammates Wednesday before their game in Washington against the Timberwolves when he was pulled off the court and informed of the trade.Two things stand out about this trade. First was that Cleveland was in the driver's seat -- the Cavs and the Mavericks being the only contenders willing to take on longterm contracts -- and that general manager Danny Ferry executed the turns perfectly. He was able to leverage interest in Phoenix's Amare Stoudemire in order to drive down the price on Jamison, who was viewed by many rivals as the best possible fit for Cleveland.Second is that this trade, more than anything, is proof that the current collective bargaining agreement is broken and badly in need of overhaul. If the team with the best record can acquire a no-nonsense star like Jamison and then retrieve an asset like Ilgauskas, something is seriously wrong with the system. No one can say there is anything dirty about an Ilgauskas buyout either, because it is in the best interests of the Wizards to pursue such an agreement to limbo themselves under the luxury tax, and Ilgauskas may well decide it is his ambition to return home to Cleveland in order to avoid disrupting his young family. The current CBA has essentially leveraged this deal, with Ferry knowing how to manipulate it in his team's favor.So now LeBron James can look around at a frontcourt of Shaquille O'Neal, who was an All-Star last year, and Jamison, an All-Star two years ago who is putting up 20.8 points and 8.8 rebounds this season and whose three-point range will space the floor for Shaq and LeBron and whose maturity will only enhance the Cavs' lockerroom. In the backcourt is point guard Mo Williams, an All-Star last year, and coming off the bench may yet be Ilgauskas, a two-time All-Star himself.No one can say any longer there isn't star power around LeBron. Perhaps this confluence of talent will help influence his decision as a free agent in July?As for the Wizards, this deal isn't a bad move for them in this oppressive market. They wind up receiving the first-round pick of the Cavs and Al Thornton as a promising young player from the Clippers -- comparable to what Phoenix was proposed by Cleveland for Stoudemire, when the Cavs were said to be offering their No. 1 and Hickson. After they unloaded Caron Butler last week to Dallas, the Wizards were on the path of no return and the departure of the large salary of Jamison, a 33 year old who is owed $28.5 million over the next two full seasons, puts Washington on the fast-track to rebuild their roster for likely new owner Ted Leonsis.The Clippers gain the expiring $4.5 million salary of Gooden, who -- if he isn't bought out to return to Dallas -- will serve as a short-term frontcourt replacement for the departed Marcus Camby following his trade to Portland.Source: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2010/writers/ian_thomsen/02/17/cavs.jamison/?cnn=yes&hpt=T2Tags: zydrunas, antawn jamison, al thornton, sebastian telfair, ilgauskas zydrunas, Sports News, Danny Ferry, Zydrunas Antawn Jamison, Jamison, Antawan Jamison Zydrunas
Tiger Woods, his sex addiction supposedly tamed and his reputation in tatters, is finally ready to say he's sorry.The world's greatest golfer plans a public apology Friday over the raunchy sexcapades with more than a dozen women that threatened to destroy his career and his marriage to a former Swedish model."While Tiger feels that what happened is fundamentally a matter between he and his wife, he also recognizes that he has hurt and let down a lot of other people," said his agent, Mark Steinberg."He wants to begin the process of making amends, and that's what he's going to discuss."Since Woods wrecked his Cadillac Escalade after a Nov. 27 fight with his wife, Elin Nordegren, endless reports linked him to a tawdry parade of porn stars, cocktail waitresses, party girls and one cougar.The 34-year-old with 14 major titles was dumped by several of his multimillion-dollar sponsors.He disappeared for weeks before resurfacing last month, reportedly at a Mississippi rehabilitation center to treat his sex addiction.While it was unclear how the public would respond to Woods' mea culpa, there appeared to be a thaw in his home life.Woods and his 30-year-old wife met yesterday at the couple's family home, where the whole mess began in the early-morning hours after Thanksgiving, TMZ.com reported. Nordegren showed up with two cups of coffee for their rendezvous.The couple, who share a pair of young children, met for a pleasant dinner the night before, RadarOnline reported.Woods will not take any questions after addressing a small group of friends, colleagues and select reporters at the TPC Sawgrass headquarters of the PGA Tour in Ponte Vedra Beach, Fla.Woods watchers expect the disgraced golfer to announce his return to the links - and avoid the seamy details of his multiple extramarital affairs."That is a big mistake," image consultant Mike Paul of MGP & Associates in Manhattan told the Daily News. "He signed a social contract when he decided to become a golf superstar. Sorry, it doesn't work that way."The lawyer for one of Tiger's reputed conquests - hard-core porn princess Veronica Siwik-Daniels (aka Joslyn James) - said she wants the golfer to "apologize to Veronica by name on Friday for all of the anguish and distress that he has put her through."Gloria Allred said she also wants Woods to acknowledge having "a three-year romantic and intimate relationship" with Siwik-Daniels and "that he told her that their relationship would last a lifetime.""Veronica has made tremendous sacrifices for him," Allred added. "She gave up the porn business at his request and went into hiding when the scandal broke in order to protect him. But to date, he has not contacted her to apologize."From Nydaily New
