Masks!!! Nike unveils new masks ad campaign and ESPN Page 3 (to which I will link despite my general objection to the strange obession with the sports/pop culture mash-up) runs a quiz. I got 5 out of 6 -- how about you?

WTF is this? And please don't look at the properties of the photos if you still want to guess who's behind them things.

NoMich, I think the mask you are questioning appears to be some sort of optometrist inspired thing -- like the wearer has really good vision. Not sure about the gasmask breathing apparatus, though. I think the stupidest one is definitely the barbed wire thing.

I think the barbed wired mask is merely a punk fashion statement.

About as lame, stupid, inane, idiotic, harebrained as Page 3 itself. What are they supposed to be selling? Shoes? Gimme a friggin break Nike.

Wow. Now imagine, if you will, Greg Ostertag in one of those masks....

Did the interns run wild? It is like a Nike sponsored Gwar tour.

What a poorly thought out infomercial that was.

They did not actually get Pujols et. al. to agree to put those stoopid things on their heads and be photographed, did they? I mean, I know some professional athletes are dumb, but how dumb can you be? "Yeah, you'll look really cool, trust us..."

I don't think that they have much of a choice do they? Didn't these guys sign an advertising contract with Nike? I ask 'cause I'm just assuming here.

I guess I'm in a minority of one here, but I think this is fabulous. Bravo Nike.

Did anyone see the commercials with these? Wow, what a way to make a group of elite athletes look like total dorks. "For Warriors". Yeah, right. Send 'em to Iraq.

I like the music and the concept of the commercials. I also like the collection of the athletes they put together. I'm still up in the air about the whole mask thing though.
