The product looks lame, but the ad is so cheesy it's good.

Heh. Yeah, I sent it to a bunch of my friends.

It looks like the cheesiness is helping it get people to watch it.

I can't believe he did that. What a way to not distance yourself from being a loser.

Yes. It's been airing on TV here (Toronto) for many weeks now.

I have never seen the product available anywhere. And even if I do see it, I have no intention of ever trying it unless someone gives it to me free or something.

It's not the first Cheetah commercial with Ben. They are all pretty corny.

I remember him being taller and thinner.

How the heck big was that movie file? It took 3 minutes to download over high speed

Anyway, bad ad but I have seen worse when I catch some small local community ads on the Calgary or Nova Scotia channels.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
