This is a marvelous video, especially the Homer Simpson cameo and the Rooney beard. And, with a soundtrack featuring Hocus Pocus by Focus, I’m even willing to forget the Ronaldo idolatry (don’t get me started on the Portuguese). Too bad for Nike that Ronaldinho is getting the summer off for extra samba lessons, and won’t be dancing around in South Africa. Even so, it’s still a great ad.
