Skechers Super Bowl Ad Pits Man Against Cheetah

At this point the only thing left to watch come Sunday might be the actual football game. Here’s yet another Super Bowl ad for your pre-game day viewing pleasure. This one comes from Skechers who gives us a more politically correct version of the now infamous 1999 Just For Feet ad.

The ad, which promotes the brand’s GOrun 2 footwear, begins as if it were a National Geographic special. It then delivers a twist. Hopefully the cheetah cause groups won’t be too upset.

An additional spot, promoting the brand’s Relaxed Fit shoe line, features Joe Montana and Ronnie Lot. It’s a more typical Super Bowl commercial with the usual sports greats shenanigans.

Psychology says people who struggle with self-love don’t actually hate themselves — they’re operating with a nervous system that was trained to interpret self-criticism as protection, and kindness toward themselves triggers the same alarm bells that kept them safe when when they were small

The happiest people over 70 aren’t the ones who built the biggest families or saved the most money — they’re the ones who stopped pretending they enjoyed things they never actually liked, and research shows that permission usually doesn’t arrive until someone realizes there’s less time to waste on performances
