Yes, unfortunately I saw the new ad. It's just as excrutiating as the 3 Doors Down clip. And why must they be so fucking long!??

Shit, am I the only person who's never seen a military recruitment ad in a movie theater?
I went to the Mayhem fest this summer (metal bands Slipknot, Disturbed, Dragonforce, Machine Head and and a bunch of others) and there was an Army recruitment tent there. And about fifteen feet away a bunch of people were sitting on the grass smoking pot.

I really dislike both the song and the video. I'm sick of sitting through stuff like this while waiting for a movie to begin. Especially at my local theaters where they tend to start playing ads when the movie should be starting.

Arn't they supposed to keep going and not stop in case for example the kid has a bomb or a gun. The smiling and soccer ball kicking...I mean really, really?

This is hilarious, I was just commenting on this crap tonight. I went to the movies earlier this evening and saw a giant cardboard cutout - what looked like a movie standee - of the National Guard. Then, before the movie, I saw that 3 Doors Down ad and I'm like WTF. I've only seen them at Cinemark Theaters (i.e. Century), not at the Regal so I think they may have some sort of deal with them.
