Commercials... A New Low

I have often wondered who comes up with commercial we see each week as we watch our teams on the TV. Sometimes they're good and make us proud to be associated with such institutions of higher learning. Sometimes... not so good. Well, you would have thought Mississippi State's "Step Into It" commercials would have easily taken the prize as the cheesiest college commercials ever created...yes, they have a couple in the top 5 all time worst TV commercials but what else would expect from a bunch of farmers producing TeeBee adds with MS Moviemaker?
This week I give what could be the worst of the worst. I offer it to you knowing that my wife actually attended class for a few years down on the "loveliest little village on the plains"... whatever that means... so I'll probably catch hell for the next few days. This particular commercial is offensive on many fronts... to public institutions of education, families who re-unite and fly fisherman. They even to attempt to give it a little street cred by telling us it's based on a true story. I would submit that if it was truly based on factual events we would not see a float plane in a remote Alaskan mountain lake but rather some slack jawed yokel landing his crop duster in a field next to a catfish pond where he would be cane polling some stink bait or chicken livers for a mess of those slimey suckers.
Anyway, check it our for yourselves...

Auburn is Cheesey!
