I was a bit disappointed when that ad turned into a Best Buy cellphone pitch, and not something, well, original. Cool ad regardless [edit: until the last 9 seconds]. It had a bit of the "Here's to the crazy ones" flavour, but ended with a "we don't make anything, but we resell everything" feel.
I was more impressed with the GE plantworker ads. Especially the Schenectady one.
