"For 20 amazing years, you gave us everything you had," the ad reads. "When you arrived as a sixth-round pick -- and the best selection this franchise has ever made -- no one imagined all you'd accomplish or how much you'd soon mean to an entire region."

Brady was drafted by the Patriots in the 6th round of the 2000 NFL draft and went on to win six Super Bowl rings. 

"Your passion for the game, competitiveness, and constant pursuit of excellence resulted in an unprecedented six Super Bowl victories, nine conference championships, and 17 division titles," the ad continues. "You’re now recognized as the greatest of all time for what you’ve accomplished on the field, but you’re an even better person."

Earlier this week, after months of rumors and hinting, Brady signed a two-year, $50 million contract with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He joins Tamps Bay as a 42-year-old quarterback entering his 21st season in the NFL. His statistics have yet to slow down, recording 24 touchdowns and only 8 interceptions in 2019.

"Take care of him. You got a great one," the message concludes.

KFC Pulls Finger Lickin Good Campaign Amid Coronavirus Outbreak

KFC received several complaints about their irresponsible "finger licking good" campaign.

In the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, Kentucky Fried Chicken is pulling an advertising campaign after receiving complaints about their irresponsible message.

The fast-food giant has suspended it’s “Finger Lickin Good” campaign in the U.K. according to a report from TheBlast. The campaign focuses on extreme finger-licking and included KFC’s famous “finger-lickin' good” tagline. The commercial includes people who were so impressed while eating KFC chicken they had to lick their fingers fully after the meal. 

With the coronavirus spreading through Europe and the world, some viewers found it downright irresponsible to air that commercial. More than 150 people complained to the U.K.’s advertising review board, and therefore on Thursday, KFC pulled the ads.

A spokesperson for Advertising Standards Authority said: “We have been in touch with KFC, who had already taken the decision to withdraw the ad before we had informed them of the complaints. On that basis, we won’t be taking any further action on this occasion.”

The fast-food chain isn’t alone however. In recent days, Coors Light and Hershey Co. have also pulled ads over fears that depicting hugs and handshakes or making jokes about working from home could be seen as insensitive. We’ll continue to keep you posted on the coronavirus pandemic moving forward.

Pepsi Changes Up Slogan & Taps Into EDM with New 2020 Ad Campaign

It’s 2020 and times are changing.


Pepsi is switching things up with a brand new tagline to kick off the decade. Moving forward, “The Choice of the New Generation” and “The Joy of Cola,” will no longer be used.

Instead, Pepsi is going with “That’s What I Like.”

In addition, Pepsi is rolling out five national TV commercials in the coming days during NFL Wild Card Games and the 2020 Golden Globes Telecast. We can expect even more during the Super Bowl.

The brand says the new tagline “is derived from and inspired by loyal Pepsi drinkers who proudly like what they like without worrying about what others will think.”

In the past, the brand has featured music from Britney Spears, Pink, Beyoncé, Enrique Iglesias, Queen, and more. As always, the new commercials from Pepsi have a heavy emphasis on music — featuring singles from Shakira, Missy Elliott, Idris Elba and more.

Plus, there’s a hilarious “DJ” ad. Watch below.
