This spot probably depends on how different people perceive it. Could be that AT&T and Kurtis willingly concede that no one is faster than Phelps (8 golds seem to confirm it for me too), and their over-the-top comparison of the product to his accomplishments serves to humorously make their point. The wireless modem is fast, at least so they assert. Thanks for commenting Ronald. This spot probably depends on how different people perceive it.

If I were Michael Phelps doing this ad, I'd have my pay for doing it in my Speedo in Advance; then, when Bill Kurtis made his "ending claim" and with me attired with 10 Gold Medals, I'd have given him a solid belt with my right arm and his _ _ _ would have been IN the pool. What an INSULTING LINE to lay upon Michael Phelps!!!!! ( no one is faster than Michael Phelps)!!! The “I’m faster than Michael Phelps” laptop ad, although I understand the

Just his presence and body language was enough for this one.

Nothing major, just something I noticed. Just saw this commercial on TV…very strange, they have Mac OSX on a PC laptop. Nothing major, just something I noticed.
