Yes. It usually get all this people. Be respectful.

And it usually takes just one #$$hole to make a bad comment.

I agree. This ad is just so bad.
How can anyone fight for it.
Only in America would this ad be created.
Seriously. This really offends me.
'That's G'. My god. Does this really inspire any athlete?
I'd look at the media plan and say 'fuck it, let's just run those old Michael Jordan spots where he talks about failing in order to succeed.'
They were great. The message still stands and MJ speaks to all generations. They were great spots.

the message is meaningful..perseverance in spite of the hardships..i like those
but G??? seriously? and that new packaging...
G = god-awful
Perseverance in the face of hardship is tremendously inspiring.
What the fuck does that have to do with a soft drink?

Better then the other one, at least this has some depth but I'm just not a fan of the new campaign.

yes really. That much people. Is there no other work to do
I am not feeling this campaign. its cool to own the whole idea of "G" but having athletes say "cliche" dedication lines talks at me rather than connecting with me and it doesn't seem like anything new for Gatorade. I agree with above the new design is lacking.

i´m not touched, i´m sorry, don´t know many of these guys. seems like there´s too much money there and not a strong idea behind
jabawagez? they are from season 1 of the best america dance crew at MTV. Why are they there anyway? 3 sec shot~
now i know - after going to their website at www.missiong.com - they get jabawagez did the dance culture episode. http://www.missiong.com/video/Nothing-But-Strings

i don't even know what to say. it is so bad

I have no idea why i cringe whenever I see this commercial.. It seems they're just relying on the celebrities to sell this product which gives off a sense of arrogance. The music just ruins it for me. I guess its the lack of a clear message/idea/concept that is turning me off about this commercial.

Much better than the other G spot (ha, "G-spot". Ok, back to relevant posting), but not up to previous inspired/inspiring Gatorade advertising. I actually don't think the concept is as cliche as others seem to think; they're bringing Gatorade into the future and trying to modernize their traditional "athlete in the heat of battle" advertisements... it's just too meta. I agree, the lack of familiarity with many of the faces doesn't help -- I feel like they should have gone with unknowns (high school or amateur athletes) or universally recognizable athletes. Anyone in the middle just muddles the concept.
