There is a web site that lets paying users view the "Medieval Knievel"
commercial in QuickTime format.  The price is $2, which actually gives
you commercial viewing privileges on the web site for 30 days, so that
you would be able to view as many commercials as you would like in
that time.  The payment must be made using PayPal.  Is this
acceptable?

Hi orthodoc,

You can view the "Medieval Knievel" commercial by going to the AdLand
web site:

AdLand
http://ad-rag.com/

In the search box on the upper right corner of the page, type
"medieval knievel" and then press Enter.  You will see two stills --
one for the short version of the commercial and one for the full
version of the commercial.  Click on the title immediately above
either one to view the commercial in QuickTime format.  For your
convenience, here are links to the two commercials:

Diet Dr Pepper - Medieval Knievel - short (2003) - 0:15 (USA)
http://ad-rag.com/8192.php

Diet Dr Pepper - Medieval Knievel (2003) - 0:30 (USA)
http://ad-rag.com/8151.php

The web site will not let you view any commercials unless you are a
paying member.  In order to make payments, you must be registered and
logged in to the web site:

AdLand registration page

AdLand login page

After you have registered and logged in to the web site, you can make
a payment of $2 by using PayPal.  The $2 lets you view as many
commercials as you like for 30 days.  The web site's FAQ has
instructions on how you can make the PayPal payment:

Do you mean Evil Knievel, or is there a new version?

"The Diet Dr Pepper campaign, launching Jan. 6, features three new
30-second commercials that humorously illustrate the campaign's
tagline, "Diet Dr Pepper Tastes More Like Regular Dr Pepper," also
created by Young and Rubicam New York."
 
 "Medieval Knievel" features a renaissance fair daredevil trying an
Evil Knievel jump over a line of horses by being launched through the
air by a large catapult. Alas, the daredevil is driven into the
ground, face down, at the foot of the archaic contraption.

Yes, a $2 fee would be fine.  Where do I find this and how do I use
PayPal to pay for it.
