KOBE AND JACKASS CREW JUMP SNAKE FILLED POOL

May 25, 2008 · Leave a Comment

When you’re an elite world class athlete like Kobe Bryant and you start running out of challenges, how do you keep from being bored?  Jump over a fast moving Aston Martin?  Check.  Jump over a large snake filled pool.  Check?

The “alternative” commercials such as the these here–a perfect blend of a popular media distribution vehicle (YouTube), Internet memes (”wow” stunts), and celebrities (Jackass crew)–are a brilliant example of marketing and advertising appropriation of counter-culture activities and adopting it to astutely manage its brand, endorsers, and product.  Pretty deft move for a goliath of a company like Nike.
