  1. The best part is when the Wall Street Journal and Jason Binn both retweeted it with something along the lines of “amazing” included.

  2. Obviously fake. The more brands play these same games with pro athletes the less fun and interesting they are. I’m more interested in What’s Next?

  3. Can’t argue based on that. He could have either curved the ball, or allowed for wind, which notoriously blows on beaches.

  4. Oh, its real. Beckham (really him) really dribbled the real ball while really holding the real Pepsi can, really kicked the three real balls into position, and really kicked the three real balls into the air really aiming them towards those real garbage cans. And the beach was real also. This wasn’t some Jar-Jar Binks CGI thing with a blue screen. Beckham even once played for a team really called Real. That last bit where the balls went into the garbage cans? Oh, that’s real also. Real balls went into real garbage cans. Just because they weren’t the same real balls that the real Beckham really kicked doesn’t make any of the individual elements of what really happened less real. Why bring technical concepts like “causation” and “context” into it? With that, I’m off to drink an ice cold Coca-Cola, which in case anyone forgot, is The Real Thing.

  5. The LA Galaxy apparently need to put sand in HDC so that Beckham can be comfortable and score goals. I am surprised there isn’t a clause in his contract that he can have the surface modified to anything that he is comfortable with and he be allowed to drink the beverage of his choice during matches.
