Samsung and NFL Announce Winner of “That’s How I See It” Super Ad
With more than one million votes cast, Samsung and the NFL have announced the winner of this year’s fan Super Ad contest. Reginald Castilla, from Ridgeland, Miss., will have his story turned into a commercial that will air during the Super Bowl XLIII pregame show on Feb. 1, 2009, on NBC.
Castilla, a life-long Dallas Cowboys fan, told his story of “That’s How I See It” at a Best Buy in Alexandria, Va., while in town for a conference. Castilla told the story of how he would sneak a black and white portable TV into his dad’s car every Sunday morning before church so he could watch the Cowboys play.
