The Infamous Nike's Commercial Bootleg

Does anyone remember the infamous Nike's commercial? That has become extremely controversial due to it looking like the man hanged himself? Well, there actually exists a much more gruesome version out there. And I was one of the unfortunates who saw it... this is how it went.

I was watching TV, listening to the weather, you know. Then a commercial came on. I recognized it as a Nike's commercial, but it was the infamous one I talked about. Everything was normal (well, except the man hanging himself), until I got to the part where he stayed there.

I noticed the cat in the background, too. It started crying blood, before it jumped out of the opened window. I heard the man also choking in a realistic way, and the camera turned to the man's face. He was crying tears of blood, and it was also pouring out of his nose, ears and mouth. The slogan had changed. Instead of saying "Just do it." it said "Suicide is your best option".

I was freaked out beyond comparison. I decided to call Nike's and tell the company about the ad. They told me that they accidentally sent out the bootleg of the ad. I, pretty mad, hung up the phone. I won't ever see that ad the same way ever again...
