I like the Specialized Bettini commercial until the very end where he speaks English. Italian langague is a beautiful sounding langague but why kill it with "I yam sspecializzed" at the end?? Could have kept the entire commercial in Italian. Is it just me??

Because the slogan is "I am Specialized".

I suppose they could have gone with "Sono Specializzato". But Specializzato is not the name of the company.

I love that commercial.

He should instead say:

"I am AMGEN".

"I am AMGEN".

Because, of course, that makes perfect sense.

On a similar note - I wish the Tom Boonen commercial were done in vlaamse.

I like the Special-Ed commercials, but the best is the SRAM commercial. Very well produced and edited.

I just keep wishing they'd make him chirp like a cricket.

Dude,

Bettinni is one of the biggest opponents of the increased testing requirements.

No, no. It's "speckle-eyed."

It's not just you. I feel the same way. Cool commercial regardless.

Can anyone tell me exactly what the Italian is, when the subtitles say, "insanely fast"?

It's italianish, insanely fast is not an directly translatable, only comes out as "stupid fast".
