The Jillz soccer commercial is not solely released by the Dutch sparkling apple brand for attention, it’s a call to action! The commercial asks you to vote online against a rule that restricts players to take off their shirts after scoring a goal. The voice-over calls this “a waste of all these gorgeous men.” I couldn’t agree more.
I admit it, I’m not the biggest soccer fan. But if the regulation gets turned around, perhaps in part due to this Jillz soccer commercial, I might catch a couple games of the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
