DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket Landing Ad

Well, that's going to piss off the neighbors. We see some Eagles fan flying in and landing like Superman from Man of Steel, and when he impacts the ground, the whole neighborhood gets trashed like an earthquake hit it. (Leave it to the Eagles to have fans with super powers but not players.)

Well, this is all DirecTV's fault, and their damn NFL Sunday Ticket! So they're going to have to pay for all that damage. And seeing this ad will likely spur many neighborhood associations across the country to ban the NFL Sunday Ticket, or maybe even ban DirecTV altogether! Oh well, it's their own fault for showing everyone how destructive it is, and in an ad they're paying for, too!

(Just kidding: fun ad. But the underlying message I'm getting here is really that NFL Sunday Ticket will cause a lot of problems for the neighbors of those who subscribe to it. I wonder if anyone else will notice this subtle presentation of the possible downside to living near an NFL Sunday Ticket subscriber?)

Oh, and according to this presentation from DirecTV, I guess we're to assume that we can always leave it to an Eagles fan to make everyone say: "There goes the neighborhood!"

Here's the hard landing spot (Maybe the truth is that he was trying to commit suicide by jumping from an airplane without a parachute due to the performance of the Eagles?):

(BTW: I'm only teasing Eagles fans. I love Philadelphia! I went to college right near there.)
