You Know Your An Adult When...

Last week Kobe Bryant was seen in an internet video jumping over an oncoming Aston Martin. Please see video.



My reaction: Wow. No way. What does his contract with the Laker's say about him doing dangerous stunts? If he didn't make it, his career could be over. That must be CGI. Kobe's friend is a bad actor. This must be a 'viral' commercial for Nike shoes.

Kid's Reaction: Wow. No way. Kobe is amazing, he should be the MVP. When are those Nike's coming out? I have to have them.

I am in no way arguing that my reaction is the better one. I am just pointing out that my reasoning was adult like, cynical and lawyerly. A kid's reaction is awe and wonderment. I miss that.

I think the gig is up. But hey, it's definitely a cool commercial and will do wonders for the Brand. Just like just about every other campaign NIKE comes up with.

I miss working for NIKE. The one job that will always be in my blood.
