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. Movies.com has just found some viral video for Back to the Future. In the beginning we weren’t sure what this video was, but later found out that it was for a commercial.

(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
