Here are two decent commercials the blogger Gia found while cruising the web for spider pr0n. If you haven’t noticed, the Speed Racer hype-train has been picking up speed for the big film release later this spring. The first video above is an old one, but still makes me giggle like a Lucky Star school girl.
The second video, (after the jump), is an actual commercial for the movie. But what makes this a great video is the sexy Erin Insurance that makes an appearance in it. Well, it is an Esurance commercial, but who cares its Erin Insurance.

Where the eff have you all been , these ads are like a million years old. Speed also had a ford (or some other car company I forget) commercial back in the day. The day meaning like mid 90's. Speed Racer was also part of a Ghostface Killa MV that the RZA produced. Oh yeah and please "death to the new Speed racer Nic Cartoon".
I am very very sorry that I made fun of you for stealing Gia's idea. It was my suggestion in the first place, and I accept full responsiblity and consequence for my actions.
