While a majority of the comments were positive, not everyone was pleased. Slate.com voiced their frustration, claiming the ad wasn't new. The audio itself was recorded by Paul Harvey in 1978, and the video was similar to that of a 2011 Farms.com campaign. You can read more about that here: http://slate.me/11BmIB3
