    We have one that keeps playing and playing and playing....
    It was cute the first couple of times.....now, it's just getting old.
    It's from a local bottled water distributer, DrinkMoreWater.
    Here's the vid....

    That was cute.

    There are no local commercials on our coverage. Mojitos rule. I'm only able to watch the last 9 kms most days anyway.

    That is a funny ad.

    Here's one of our local Marin Century ones:

    and another: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tgvoI...eature=related

    They really give you a sense for what it's like to ride here.

    In prior years, they had a great emphasis on cows, which they've gone away from, which is too bad. We got lots of cows.

    I have to admit that I haven't noticed any of the Marin Century ads......I wonder if they're not playing down here?

    but the Mojito commercials make me want to put on a skimpy little dress and go dancing.

    We get LBS ads, as well as Trek and Mojitos. But I am over the Saab ad.
    It's all about the journey (my reason for riding slower)

    I like the Mike's Hard Lemonade ads, especially "We don't do soy."

    I usually kick back at night to watch the Tour with a Mike's Hard Cranberry Lemonade. I find those ads ironic, because they're so "We're so hard and tough in a world gone soft." but my friend and I refer to those kind of drinks (along with all those flavored malt bevs) as "Girly Drinks."

    I wondered how far in the Bay Area those Marin Century commercials went - but it wouldn't make any sense for them not to advertise on your side of the bridge. That's odd. Do you have the Bici Sport one?

    We have the Mike's and mojito ones also. But maybe we're the only area with local commercials about bikes or bikes stores? That bike themed water as was hysterical.

    We don't have any local commercials that I have seen. Maybe I am missing something. There do seem to be more bike company commercials this year, though.

    We always have commercials from local bike shops. In the past it was Revolution. This year it's Conte's.

    There might be others but I really don't pay much attention. In the morning I'm either switching over to the Weather Channel or local news, or I'm in another room getting ready for work, and at night I'm in and out of the kitchen making dinner or flipping around to see what else is on.

    I have noticed that they're showing the Enzyte ("natural male enhancement") commercials, which I haven't seen anywhere in ages.
