    10 Lance Armstrong Ads That Have New Meaning Today

    Lance Armstrong Nike commercial, ironically this one from 2001 is an anti-doping spot where Lance replies to the question "what am I on?....I'm on my bike six hours a day."

    Try to contain yourself as you read this one..."According to the most recent statistics on cancer survival rates, Lance Armstrong is neither alive, nor has he won the Tour de France". This gem was done by the ad agency Goodby Silverstein & Partners for Nike back in January 2000 for Nike.

    Check out Lance as he makes the world spin while riding his bike in this Radio Shack commercial entitled "Universe". Loving the tagline — "The Shack and Lance Power The Universe."

    GO Film's Christopher Guest unleashes the actor within Lance Armstrong for a Nike Livestrong Collection ad entitled "Feed The Warrior".

    From back in 2004, the "Magnet" ad created by ad agency Wieden+Kennedy.

    Even the USPS loved Lance Armstrong...Vive Le Lance.

    In this print ad for Subaru Lance has to "Muscle His Way To The Front Of The Pack."

    What drives Lance? Well according to this ad it's not fame or fortune or even the yellow jersey. Mr. Armstrong goes on to say that he is driven by what's inside...I like this one...a lot.

    And, finally Lance Armstrong for Michelob Ultra Beer...take an Ultra Holiday.

    Suzy Favor Hamilton In Knock Out Nike Commercial

    Suzy Favor Hamilton, three-time Olympian and now the $600-an-hour call girl appeared in several commercials, a look back at two of our favorites. The Nike ad from way back featured the sexy Hamilton in a Friday the 13th-ish horror themed spot (Why Sport? You'll Live Longer) that was pulled off the air by NBC after receiving thousands of compliants making light of violence against women.

    Her image could hardly have been better: Athletic. A knockout. All-American. So accomplished and so wholesome that Disneyland hired her for speaking engagements, the Big Ten named an award after her and the Wisconsin Potato and Vegetable Growers Association made her their pitchwoman.

    An "escape," she called it, that was really a way of masking an American Dream coming unhinged — a real-life tragedy that undercut the myth that success, wealth and fame is a surefire path to happiness.

    "I do not expect people to understand," Favor Hamilton said in a frenzied burst of tweets after details about her secret life became public Thursday in a report on The Smoking Gun website. "But the reasons for doing this made sense to me at the time and were very much related to depression."

    Suzy Hamilton looked great in the shower in this Pert Plus commercial (below), she also appeared in ads for Reebok, Clairol, Oakley, Kikkoman Foods, Nordic Track, Viactiv Calcium Chews, sadly she will now only be remembered as a high price call-girl.
