Garmin Gets Napoleon to the Battle on Time

garmin_napolean.jpg

Garmin’s 2008 Super Bowl commercial leaves behind last year’s Maposaurus for this year’s Napoleon who, after racing through the streets of France (anachronistically in a car?), arrives to command his troops but has to hide that nifty yet-to-be invented Garmin navigational device, hence the explanation for his famed placement of his hand inside his coat. Witty enough. Catchy tunes. Just not sure we get that whole time shift/travel thing. Unless, of course, Garmin has now embedded time machines in their products.
