Nadal vs. Aliens Video for Kia

Check out this Kia ad. If you're a sci-fi geek you'll notice the Voltron references big time. Apparently Kia is recalling it's ad for containing some innappropriate content. I don't see it. The content is weird but I don't see it as inappropriate. Then again I suppose Nadal shoving his foot up the a#$ of a mini Nadal midget while transforming into a anime style super robot was a little over the top...

This ad is awesome! I'm dating myself here, but my racquet growing up was the Jack Kramer Pro Staff. I particularly like the slow-mo, balerina-esque movements.

How NOT to use your Prince racquet

We're going to start a new category here at What's All the Racquet called "Tennis Videos." An uninspired name, I admit, but what won't be uninspired will be our dedication to scour the Internet in search of cool, funny or ridiculous videos that feature tennis equipment.
