give me a break, perhaps there is some merit to whitman’s poem, but this commercial is a pretentious, pseudo-artpiece of smart-alecky advertising crap

Totally agree. Brilliant commercial. Why are people so angry about Levi’s using it? To me it says that there is someone in their marketing department with a vision and awesome taste in literature/poetry. Match that up with some inspiring scenes and you have another great piece.

Interesting. I would have looked at Marelize and said “WTF?”. Some commercials try to hard to overstep being a commercial. This one get the BMBA award in our home. (BigMuteButtonAward)

Love this commercial. Love the poem. Not sure I love that the poem is in the commercial, if that makes any sense. Also, amazing that you are reading Godel Escher Back. One of my all time favorites.
