Occasional Thoughts

The Super Bowl's Darth Vader


Last Sunday at the Superbowl a commercial aired that I think won the best commercial award. It featured a boy dressed up as Darth Vader and trying his best to use his powers, but nothing works. Then, when his dad comes home, he tries again on his dad's Volkswagen. The boy is surprised to find out his powers worked when his dad pushes the button on his key chain remote to start the car. (Click the video at the end if you have not seen it.)

I love the commercial and I fell in love with the boy when I watched his interview on the Today Show (Found here) He is a cute little boy who has made it pretty far despite his age.

This boy is an inspiration to me for one particular purpose. As it mentions in the interview, he has a heart defect and even has to use a pacemaker. He was born with what we would call "Disadvantages" but still manages to be a happy little boy and has even done more commercials than most actors and out there do in (Dare I say) a lifetime!

His name is Max Page and he is truly an inspiration. Rock on Max!!
