Continued Evidence of San Franciscan Awesomeness

"So," you say, "what could possibly make San Francisco more awesome than it is already?" Tough question. I know. How about Sony filming an advertisement for their new TV in your neighborhood? Sound stupid? Commercialized? Sellout-ish? How about if we throw in, oh, say, 250,000 superballs?More pictures here.

Finished version of the ad here. (Worth the wait.)


(Low-res version of the ad.)

Hat tip, originally, to SFist. They've got more on the director and such HERE.

You beat me to it: My first thought was what some poor schmo would have to pick up all those $#%#$ing balls

In the "Making Of" video available on Sony's site, they show poor lowly interns (or the like) with snow shovels (typically not of any use in SF in July, or any other month for that matter) putting the balls into large trash cans. Poor schmos indeed.
