"In case you missed it, Sony is tapping some big-name celebrities to tout its electronic reader in a new ad campaign for TV and web (pop star Justin Timberlake, comic Amy Sedaris, and quarterback Peyton Manning)."

I believe this may be the first commercial that Peyton Manning has been in where he didn't say anything.

I was going to post about this. I was sitting there watching House, and was ASTOUNDED to actually see a Sony Reader commercial! What's up with this sudden outbreak of common sense on the part of Sony? Does this mean they actually WANT people to know there are other devices besides the Kindle? Inconceivable!

I am sure they have another 10 variations on this, seems like a bizaare viral kind of thing. As for Timberlake, the dude can do comedy well imo, he needs to go into making movies.

I think it's a bit ironic that they'd have a speed reader endorse an e-ink device.
