[The Mad Haderer]

Has anyone seen the new DEGREE deodorant commercial on TV?

Was watching some MTV after work last night to feel better about my life when an add comes up with a guy putting on some ANTI-stink and going for a bike ride when his front wheel comes off...he then rides around in a wheelie trying to catch up with it.

I realized that the rider was TV (Vanderham)... anybody else able to confirm this?

Also thought it was a bit funny that they stripped the graphics off the 36 and what looks like the giant reign he was riding...

I wonder what commercial rates are these days?

mid 90's Lopes and King made about $180k each for the mountain dew commercial they did (after tons of residuals).

What ever happened to Mike King? I absolutely loved him in the mid-late 90s. I even bought a Haro DSR my freshman year of high school just because he rode it.
