Cash4Gold = Gold

Seems as though everyone is talking about one of the funniest and most depressing ads of the Super Bowl – Cash4Gold's spot starring troubled has-beens MC Hammer and Ed McMahon. Both are in tight financial circumstances and made perfect spokesmen for those wanting to sell their valuables to make their mortgage payment. 

The spot was funny. I just couldn't get over how sad it must be for both men to appear in a spot like that. In the end, that decreased the 'enjoyment' of the spot. The message burst through but it was bittersweet. They will probably make a ton of money off it and I'm sure their web traffic is off the charts.
