money isn't everything.

If money is so tight you can't get by without doing the commercial, you probably shouldn't be trying to support a family.

All we're saying is there comes a point where you have to draw the line at what you're willing to compromise for some cash in your pocket. Yes, you pretty much need money to survive in our society. However, we want money for so much more than physiological needs. It's good to stop every once in a while, take a look around you, and ask yourself what you REALLY need to live a good life.

I'm sure everyone's heard this before, but it's just food for thought.

But what's wrong with the commercial?  That's what I want to know.  I mean, if I didn't skate I probably wouldn't focus my attention on the skateboards to be honest.  It's a commercial about the phone and what you can do with it.  I didn't really see it as an ad for 5boro.  Maybe if 5boro started having Samsung plastered all over their product, I'd side with you, but to me this seems pretty normal.

And about that family bit...what would you do in his shoes?  Just quit supporting your family?  I don't really get what you're trying to say there.  He's got something good going that will give his family nice things, so what motivation does he have to not agree to have 5boro boards show up on a commercial?  For the approval of people that never tried to make a living off the skate industry?  I sure has hell don't know much about it, so I don't think I'm really in a position to speak for other people.

I actually like 5 boro more after the OIAM, wheezy, and samsung commercial. seeing that commercial got me hyped on some 5 boro graphics. I think the next time i see it on tv I'm probably gonna go out and buy a board. gotta represent the 5
