Even Rory Looks For The Remote When That Ad Comes On
/At that tail end of his Deutsche Bank Championship presser Thursday, Rory McIlroy was asked about the dreaded, petition-worthy relentlessness of the Omega "Hall of Fame" ad and he showed his lovable side by joining the rest of us in...not liking it.
Alex Myers has the ad embedded for cruelty purposes, and this:
"I'm sure I will. I'm not sure when. But I think that one went quite well for them, that's why we didn't have to shoot another one this year. If they could just change the music that would help."
YES. Is that too much to ask?
Even McIlroy indicated he's sick of the ad. When asked what he does when it comes on, this was his response:
"Turn it off. I've seen it too many times."
If only Omega would listen! The petition is at 549. Surely we can get a few more signees.
**The full question and answer:
Q. Are you ever going to make another Omega commercial?
RORY McILROY: Did you sign that petition? (Laughter). I'm sure I will. I'm not sure when. But I think that one went quite well for them, that's why we didn't have to shoot another one this year. If they could just change the music that would help.
Q. What do you do when it comes on?
RORY McILROY: Turn it off. I've seen it too many times. It works well for them. I'm happy. They're great partners of mine. We might be making another one next year, who knows.
Well that's the best news I've heard in a while!
