Read Me A Story, You Guys

I've been hearing a familiar voice on TV a lot lately.


Jon Hamm, he of Mad Men (and several unforgettable 30 Rock spots) is narrating commercials for both Mercedes-Benz and Comcast. I'm not likely to buy from either company any time soon, but I think Hamm's character Don Draper would approve of the ads anyway because a) I listen to them every time they come on, b) I can remember the products they're selling (generally, anyway - at least I get the brands right), and c) Hamm's voice makes me think "Ooh, sexy," and I'm sure on some subconscious level that I'll be associating that with the products. Well done, faceless advertising execs.
