      I’m pleased they’re making some cash :aliensmile:

      I’m definitely looking forward to someday having that same shock & thrill you guys had, MM coming from my tv while zoning out during commercials :mrgreen:

      It won’t make me think about purchasing a minivan though :shock:

        Shock and Thrill?? Hmmm, Interesting way to put it. It hit more as a disbelief.. My first disbelief was "What the hell did MM do???".. Then my second wave of disbelief was like "How in the hell did Nissan know who MM was????"

        But what if situations arise that getting a mini-van would help? Would you consider a Nissan mini-van??? THAT is what they are trying to get you do.

        and as for the commercial, I saw it again. Moms with surf boards.. hmmm.. Targeting the mid-20’s mom to be, I guess..

                            Cash family rejects piles of cash
                            By Hugh Davies, Entertainment Correspondent
                            (Filed: 19/02/2004)

                            The family of the late Johnny Cash is outraged at a plan to use his 1963 classic song, Ring of Fire, to promote a haemorrhoid ointment.

                            Advertising copy writers in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, thought the lyrics, ". . . and it burns burns burns, that ring of fire, that ring of fire", were perfect for such an advert.

                            Johnny Cash
                            So did Merle Kilgore, the song’s co-writer and the manager of Hank Williams jnr. He said he had often joked about the pile cream possibilities of his words.

                            He said: "On stage, I would say, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, I dedicate this song to the makers of Preparation H.’ " However, the singer Rosanne Cash, the country star’s daughter, said in Nashville, Tennessee, that she was appalled by the crassness of the approach.

                            "Merle started talking about this moronic tie-in without talking to any of us. We would never allow the song to be demeaned like that."

                            Kilgore said: "I certainly did not want to upset the Cash family, because I love them. I just thought it was funny."

                            The idea of the commercial was that of Sula Miller, a Florida television producer, who heard the song while "struggling with the uncomfortable condition".

                            Cash, who died in September, aged 71, allowed the song, co-written by his wife June Carter, to be used in 1999 for a commercial for Levi’s jeans. But Miss Cash said the family would legally block any attempt to exploit it for haemorrhoid cream.

                            She said: "It is about the transformative power of love. That is what it will always mean to us."

                            The family’s decision will mean a huge loss in fees to the singer’s estate. For example, the Rolling Stones negotiated a fee of more than $500 million a year from Microsoft for the use of Start Me Up on Windows 95.

                            Other big deals have been made by Madonna for The Gap’s use of Dress You Up and by Survivor for Esso’s Eye of the Tiger jingle.
