The Thrashers Do It Again - Another Hilarious Radio Spot

Bookmark

You locals might recall hearing that wonderfully hilarious Thrashers commercial on the radio the past few months: "Become One in Blueland." An everyday Atlantan had just attended his first Thrashers game and became a fanatic. Kovalchuk scores and causes the newborn fan to take his shirt off, sing along to the 'Woo-Hoo' song (Blur's 'Song 2') and declare to his peers in a support group that when he dies he wants to be buried underneath the Thrashers ice. That's his dream. A fellow fanatic proclaims histerically that he wants his ashes to be shot out of the t-shirt gun! And there was much rejoicing.

You all remember this.

Well now the geniuses down at Blueland have unleashed another radio spot sure to shock you in its hilarity as you fall asleep in traffic. A man speaking to similar fanatics tells them about a dream he had. He sees All-Star Ilya Kovalchuk skating so fast down the ice that he tears open a wormhole in the arena. What's inside? A dimension where everything is Ilya Kovalchuk. All the players, the fans, the guy who droves the zamboni. And you know those t-shirt parachute drops they do at Philips? There's little Kovalchuk's manning those chutes. Its glorious.

And absurdly hilarious.

So thank you Atlanta Thrashers creative team. Without you, there'd be nary an interest in the disaster that continues to take the ice and call itself a professional team. Thank you.
