Ad Watch: Now That's a Blocked Shot

Adidasvolleyball.jpgIf there's one thing that's readily apparent just walking around Beijing, it's this: Adidas may be the official sponsor of the Olympic Games, but that's not stopping Nike, Reebok or even China's Li Ning from pushing ads all over town.

So first up in our Olympic Ad Watch: a TV spot from Adidas that seems to be running about five or 10 times per hour on China's state-sponsored CCTV.  The ad says a lot about China's push to present a united front to the world during these Games and about the expectations for Team China next month.

    To add a little different spin, may I ask if anyone here has any tips on how to get people to leave comments on blogs? Mine could use more comments; it only has a couple - and I’ve had my blog for over a month now.
