Argentinean “Back to the Future” Commercial Hits the Web Michael Lee, August 25, 2011August 25, 2011 Well this is an interesting story that has popped up.

(yeah I should of known SINCE THE SIGN WAS RIGHT THERE!). The ad is the just a teaser for a massive campaign made by the home appliance chain. Viral Videos Back to the futureDeLoreanDoc Brown
