That intro was so deep and thought provoking. At first I thought I was at a brainstorming session at a fortune cookie factory.

Between this, Rambo 5 and Creed 2 He is obviously bored and running out of new and good ideas.

God I cringed so hard at this.

Pen looks like an awful Ed Hardy accessory that you could find at a TJ Maxx or Marshall's 5 years ago.

Favorite part of the video is the text that reads "The Power Of The Written Word In Your Hands" that appears above the pen.

Was the editing done by a middle school technology class back in the 1990s?

I can't even comment on the watch...Crazy to think he is associating himself with this given how deep of an impressive collection he has. Not saying I like it, but how can be associated with the RM 25-01 and this as well?

Sly is one of the investors of this Italian fountain pen company, Montegrappa. Their "normal" fountain pens are pretty good. This company sells wristwatches, too, like Montblanc. That's why Sly appeared in this terrible ad for Montegrappa.

I think Sly certainly knew that this watch and the ad were terrible. So, let's just give him a break.

There aren’t many things that genuinely leave me speechless, jaw dropped, no words. But this did that.

Wow, they look like $5 plastic kids toys...

I have a couple of Montegrappa fountain pens at work that I use a lot. They are excellent! Hopefully I will forget about this forever. The Nero Uno I have is quite far from what I just saw:
