Help ScubaBoard flex it's muscle and help a good cause!


As some of you may know, fellow ScubaBoarder "RJP" has recently produced a commercial that will debut on the Super Bowl today during the second quarter.

The ad - entilted "Heart Attack" - is from a drug company, but it doesn't sell a drug. Instead it's part of a partnership with the American Heart Association and "sells" the AHA's high blood pressure website, encouraging people to go there to see if they are at risk of a heart attack.

I thought that I would bring this to the attention of ScubaBoarders to encourage people to vote for the ad as their favorite Super Bowl ad - assuming of course that it is your favorite - on a few of the on-line polls that will be rating Super Bowl ads.

There's a few good reasons to do this:

1.) To demonstrate that Scuba Board is an on-line community that can be mobilized! With more than 70,000 registered users we've been called the internet's 800lb gorilla. Let's show the scuba industry that when we flex our muscle, the impact is felt!

2.) To keep the discussion about the serious risks of heart disease going after the Super Bowl. If the ad is rated fairly well the media will have to keep talking about it. Nothing against beer, chips and other stuff advertised on the game, but heart disease is a bit more important to discuss.

3.) To keep RJP employed! Diving is expensive, and if the ad doesn't do well in the polls and RJP loses his job how will he pay for more gear and tank fills? (And if it DOES do well he'll have to mention ScubaBoard when he's interviewed in USA Today and The Wall Street
Journal!)

Remember - as they say in Chicago - "Vote Early. Vote Often."
 
Good commerical.
 
That was one of the only commercials so far that EVERYONE liked at the party!

Great job!
 
Sorry, I got bored after scrolling endlessly down the page, I had to cast my vote for GoDaddy.com instead :wink:
