[Atmob-discuss] Best football commercial ever!

[Bruce Tinkler]

I haven't been able to verify this because of company web site restrictions,
but apparently the ad is available for viewing on YouTube:

It's set somewhere in the Southwestern US and the family is going to a star
party. There's a quick shot of a 26 or 31mm Nagler, what looks to be like a
15" Obsession, and kids playing with an Orion Starblast. It's pretty cool to
see something like this on national TV, even if it's for a car company.
I saw it today, it looked like it might have been shot in the Joshua Tree
National Monument...
