I liked it, but I do think that a new version with such natural rivals as Sid/Ovi would be even better, and it could work in both markets. I had never seen this commercial until the other day.

Instead of having all the LOVE for Crosby they should share it. That would have a greater impact and you wouldn't just be sponsoring one or the other. You could have double the impact.
