Mountain Dew's marketing guy deserves a big fat raise.

The ads are horrible and offensive...but they're being played every ten minutes on every cable network FOR FREE. My guess is Dew drinkers will love them. Nice work!

Probably the same guy who did the Jeff Gordon test drive ad that went viral.

Why buy advertising time when you can generate all the free time through controversy.
