Read this from FunkyWitDaSysTm, the youtuber who uploaded the entire campaign:
"i could never find a complete compilation of all of these videos, so i put all 7 together and uploaded it for the world.

looking back on these ads, i remember how moved i was when i first saw them. how, when i got to school on monday morning, kids would be talking about some new 'You Will' ad we saw during The Simpsons the night before. and now, 17 years later, i see that these commercials were eerily prophetic. seriously, the only one of these things that i don't do or haven't done are faxing from the beach (although i email, mms, and upload to the web all manner of pics and vids) and use a vioce-activated lock on my apt door. webcams, ez-pay, self-checkout, gps, wifi/wan, atms for tickets and driver licenses, on-demand video/tivo, realtime online multi-user video project collaboration, wristwatch cellphones we have almost everything. the only things we don't actually have are the automated voice-activated software agent (still in the works), "fax from the beach" (fax is dead, now we email, mms, etc. via wan/wifi/3G/4G), and videophone-booths (instead, video cell phones have existed since about 2003 and may even be in the next iphone).

plus, i like the song they use.unfortunately, the song was made by a studio working for the ad agency who made the ads, so it's unavailable.

update, 1.25.2011: well, there's video in the iphone 4, and there's an app for faxing-- from the beach, i suppose...

also, i was contacted by at&t corporate today. they want to use my video for a presentation. i sent them the source vids. they're going to upscale the resolution send me a copy when they're done. hopefully, they'll let me upload it here to replace this one!"

Campaign of the week. Nike Better World.

Don't tell us what we can't do.
Don't tell us not to dream
big, fat, hairy, audacious, dreams.
Like making the world better through sport.
Sport is our passion.
Sport inspires hope, instils discipline
reduces depression and disease.
Araises self confidence.
Raises awareness.
Rallies communities.
Defines nations.
Defies gravity
and denies prejudice.
Sport laughs in the face of racism and flicks a towel on sexism's ass and kick sand in the face of discrimination.
It makes neck hairs stand to attention
Hell, it's even been known to stop wars.
That's a pretty impressive resume.
Sport, you're hired.
We won't rest until every living breathing person on this planet has access to it.
We won't stop making the best gear to propel humanity forward,
without wrecking our global playground in the process.
We will do good with a vengeance.
And to all the cynics and the naysayers, we're going to make the world better for you anyway.
Because like sport, we don't discriminate.
We've made the world better
but we still want a better world.
Nike Better World.
