Danny Zuko lives! Sort of. In an ad for a Brazilian rum called Ypióca, John Travolta proves that his dance moves may not get better with age… but they remain better than most! The 30-second spots starts with the former Grease and Saturday Night Fever star donning a straw hat and sauntering around on the beach, followed by an attractive woman giving him an exciting hug. He then kicks a soccer ball, scores a goal and celebrates by moving and shaking like only John Travolta can. Take it all in now: John Travolta Rum Commercial

“Since April, JC Penney’s has not aired Ellen DeGeneres in one of their commercials until now. A new JCP ad features Ellen and three elves. JCP has made their choice to offend a huge majority of their customers again. Christians must now vote with their wallets,” their statement reads. One Million Moms, a Christian organization created by the American Family Association which focuses on the “exploitation of children” by the media, has taken offense to a new holiday ad from JC Penny that featu
GTFOHWTBS! Acura Denies Knowledge Of Racist Cast Sheet, But Offers Apology According to TMZ reports: Acura has issued a full-on apology … after we ran a story that the car company’s ad people sought an African American actor to play a car dealer who was “not too dark.” The commercial — which featured Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno and ran during the Super Bowl — was cast by an agency that sent out a casting sheet, looking for a “nice looking, friendly, not too dark” African American actor to play the role of dealer. Acura just issued this statement: “We apologize to anyone offended by the language on the casting sheet used in the selection of actors for one of our commercials.” The car company added, “We sought to cast an African-American in a prominent role in the commercial, and we made our selection based on the fact that he was the most talented actor.” As for the language “not too dark,” Acura says, “The casting sheet was only now brought to our attention. We are taking appropriate measures to ensure that such language is not used again in association with any work performed on behalf of our brand.” Do you believe Acura’s sob story or do you plan on setting fire to every one of their crappy cars that you see?

Superheroes will unite. G.I. Joe will retaliate. Taylor Kitsch will try to save the world on a couple of occasions. Sacha Baron Cohen will try to run a country. And, of course, Katniss Everdeen will be awesome. While most of the Super Bowl XLVI commercials were downright awful – Polar Bear again, Coca-Cola? More naked women, GoDaddy? – movie fans were at least treated to a number of extended looks… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : The Hollywood Gossip Discovery Date : 05/02/2012 20:40 Number of articles : 2
The mysterious Ferris Bueller-themed Honda commercial that I was telling you about last week has been unveiled. On the one hand, it’s just Matthew Broderick and a string of references to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off , with the actor calling out ill to work to go frolic around town in his Honda CR-V. So technically, no legacies were harmed in the making of this TV spot. On the other hand, for a guy who’s supposed to be having a day off, I don’t know if I’ve never seen Broderick work harder in my life. Anyway, give it a try! It’s only 145 seconds, and will at least buy you a built-in bathroom break this coming Super Bowl Sunday. Follow S.T. VanAirsdale on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .

Growing up in the 80s, we were fully aware of the government’s “war on drugs.” Programs like D.A.R.E. and First Lady Nancy Reagan’s “Just Say No” campaign were staples of our everyday life. But none of the anti-drug propaganda spread around in the 80s was as effective (or entertaining, depending on your perspective) than the anti-drug public service announcements that frequently popped up on television. Kid Cudi: “I Don’t Smoke Weed Anymore” We’ve collected here a few of our favorite PSAs that aimed to keep us all off of drugs. I Learned It From Watching You! This legendary PSA was probably one of two that immediately popped in your head when you clicked into this post. A teenaged kid is chillin’ in his room when his dad comes in after finding his son’s weed stash. After inquiring where he got the drugs from and who taught him how to use the stuff, the kid reveals that he learned it from watching his accuser. What they didn’t show you in this commercial is that father and son later enjoyed a nicely rolled spliff to calm their nerves down before discussing punishment. This Is Your Brain On Drugs… This short PSA was probably the other one you thought of when clicking this post. A man drops an egg into a sizzling frying pan and says that the egg represents your brain on drugs. So apparently drugs are high in cholesterol and rather tasty with a little bit of hot sauce. We’ll keep that in mind. This Is Your Brain On Drugs… The Sequel Actress Rachel Leigh Wood starred in this spot which continues where the last one left off. It was a rather impactful ad, and by impactful we mean the impact of a frying pan against various kitchen objects. Pee Wee Herman Speaks Out Against Crack There is no PSA more bizarre than this overly dramatic spot featuring Pee Wee Herman. We think nothing better exemplifies what the 80s were about than Pee Wee Herman holding a vial of crack cocaine. Is That A Blunt In OchoCinco’s Ashtray? [PICS] When I Grow Up… When we were young, we had dreams of our cushy jobs and big houses and nice cars that were waiting for us when we grew up. Instead we were greeted by a couple of wars, a crumbling economy with matching job market, and reality television. This PSA should’ve warned us in advance that things are gonna suck, not just for the drug addicts, but for everyone when we all grow up. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Think Drug Dealers Are Dorks Pee Wee Herman wasn’t the only celeb asked to do a PSA in the 80s and 90s. The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles got in on the action too. However, looking back, a bunch of talking turtles who love eating pizza and are guided by a talking rat make us wonder just who exactly needed the anti-drug message more. Cowabunga! Photo Of Whitney & Bobby’s Daughter Bobbi Kristina Snorting Coke Surfaces; She Responds I’m Melting!!!! This recent PSA can best be summed up by a comment left on the video’s YouTube page: “Shes boring? You’re boring for having nothing better to do than sit aroud and watch her melt.” Snake, The Drug Dealer The only thing this PSA taught us was to not buy drugs off of anyone that morphed into a snake before our very eyes. Whoopi Goldberg Reveals Past Battle With Drug Addiction A Father’s Regret In this PSA, a father stands at his 13-year-old son’s grave crying because he hadn’t thought to talk to him about the dangers of drugs. Is this an anti-PSA ad or a bad parenting PSA? Brain Activity In this PSA, a machine reads the brain activity of both a normal 14-year old and that of a 14-year-old pot smoker. The non-smoker’s brain functions at a rapid pace, while the smoker’s brain moves slowly. We just hope they didn’t actually give a 14-year-old a joint just for the sake of this commercial. Maia Campbell Before The Drugs [PHOTOS] HONORABLE MENTION: Marijuana Kills! This fake PSA comes from the stoner comedy Harold & Kumar Go To White Castle . It’s a hilarious spoof on the golden age of anti-drug PSAs. We dare you not to laugh at the intentionally bad acting!
