Is it just me, or have ad campaigns gotten way, way cooler since the effects of the recession clawed their way into the American conscious? I guess the whole involuntary post-death spokes-celeb thing could be conceived as a desecration of Walt's work, but since Levi's were around long before the Whit-man, and this commercial is more or less a piece of art in its own right, I think we can give the complaints a rest. Chris Farley for DirecTV feels far tackier, anyway.
From the Levi's Go Forth campaign (the first is a recording of Whitman reading "America," and the second - which I prefer - is an actor's recording of "Pioneers! O Pioneers"):
Directed by Cary Fukunaga, the man responsible for Sundance favorite Sin Nombre.
