The Slowskys

Usually when companies go overboard with their advertising campaigns it drives me a crazy. But I find the Comcast commercials featuring the Slowskys really funny. If you haven't seen the commercials they feature two turtles who of course like everything slow so they have DSL rather than Comcast High Speed Internet. Not sure why I find them so funny but it probably has to do with the sarcasm.

I did a quick google search on the Slowskys and found that Comcast has a website for the SLowskys. Seems like they have a bit of a cult following, On the website you can watch a couple of their commercials and there is a store where you can but t-shirts and mugs with the catch phrases from their commercials. Gotta get me a "You Push It" T-Shirt. There is also some odd random widgets on there to keep you busy on the website for hours. Someone definitely took some time putting the website together. Their advertising budget has to be huge.

Oddly you can't view all of their commercials from the website but a simple Youtube search on the Slowskys and they are all there. Looking forward to seeing if they have a new commercial for the Superbowl this weekend.
