I wonder if that all came out of the minds of their copywriters or if Kaperpick had some input?

Is that a little peek into his cobwebbed, little mind? He feels so pressured, so completely undersieged that this is how he interprets a trip to Seattle?

Oh, and before anyone says it, I know, I know, he's no dummy, high wonderlic score and all that......just fun to insult him!

Well, you can see it as an insult (I did at first), or.....

You could realize that he's trying to block out the noise. What they're trying to portray is the most passionate, LOUD fans that they can. So they filmed an AWESOME walk to his locker room through the craziest labyrinth of Hawk-lovin' maniacs trying to kill him!

Seahawks fans should be proud to be in that ad. I loved it. A few years ago, it would have been Eli Manning walking into Philly (listening to some Britney Spears music).

Seriously, folks. It's a compliment.

Don't buy beats by dre.. I won't. That is the way to respond to that total BS commetcial

I was/am insulted by the commercial too, then I realized the target market for Beats headphones tend to be dumb teenagers who like to spend $300 of their parents money on $40 headphones. So I'm less offended now by the commercial.

Somewhat amazes me that an average NFL QB has his own commercial.

I dont like the comercial. dont like the OG style (thug implications). But are you really suprised that he has a commercial? I could be wrong but I think he still has the #1 selling jersey, so this really shouldn't be a shocker to you.

Personally I took it as a compliment.

how many other fan bases have ever been featured in a commercial? LIke i know 'fans' are featured in commercials all the time but none with an identity like that.

12th man so badass we star in a commercial.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I mooned the cowboys bus when they were on their way home after the romo-fingers goal line fumble. *shrug*

I was offended to be portrayed like a bunch of classless thugs. That's be like Wilson doing a flak jacket commercial with everyone stabbing and beating on each other in the 49ers parking lot.

Only good thing is that we've established permanent residence on some prime real estate in Kaep's head.

Oh, and Wilson still hasn't lost at the CLink and hasn't lost a game by more than a TD since NC State.

GO HAWKS!!!

Being intimidating comes with a price.

would you rather we were portrayed as a bunch of harbaugh-esque passive/aggressive toothless morons?

I thought that headphones commercial portraying Kap as super calm and cool against the 12th Man was complete garbage. He's been anything but. And c'mon now, we don't throw shit at their bus! As part of the 12th Man I was offended, lol!

Pretty sure that was the color scheme for a CFL team he will be playing against one day.


Hey even the CFL does not want that ass clown.

Yeah, I was sort of insulted because the commercial made the 12th man look like rabid, ignorant donkeys. We are the most passionate fans in the league, but we certainly aren't ignorant or stupid.

Did you see the one of the younger girl fingering Kaep? So classless.

We care what Dr. Dre customer base thinks? Not me personally. We got bigger fish to fry. Old adage- there is no bad advertising. I don't care if we win the Superbowl and they call us the Seaderall Cheathawks on the Damned PA. Just as long as they remember to say "WORLD CHAMPIONS" after it!

What is it with 49er fans that you're nowhere to be found until y'all win a game and then it's on like Donkey Kong. Talk about the most fair-weather fans in the NFL. Ya guys have been pulling the on-off Houdini routine all season. It's like, now ya see 'em, now ya don't.

They are the cheapest headphones I have ever seen. I'm an electronic tech and one of our employees brought his by my office to repair. Done of the worst craft man ship I have ever seen. They must make the children in china work overtime to build these. I threw then in the trash because they were unfixable.

No way I'd ever buy these over Bose. Especially at the price. You're paying for the name 100%

Same is true for Bose. That stuff is pure garbage.

If you want quality headphones, I'd go with Grado.

I've got a pair of Grado PS1000 headphones in my office and they are absolutely incredible. Plus, they are handmade in the USA. Excellent quality custom drivers and amazing incredible soundstage unlike anything you have ever heard - from speakers or headphones.

My wife commented on how bad it made the 12th man look also.

I really do not see a reason to boycott them, nobody with half a brain would actually buy then anyway. It is almost a badge of stupid. Hey, look at me, I'm an idiot.

1700 for headphones? Id drop a dime on Sony headphones and use the rest to buy a 60 inch plasma for the Superbowl! But to each, his own.
