KUNR/Michael Hagerty
A commercial for a Reno roller rink is going viral online, and will be featured on a cable TV show. KUNR's Michael Hagerty has more.
The 90-second commercial is for Reno's Roller Kingdom and playfully extols the virtues of roller skating as a way to keep kids off the streets and out of trouble.
The spot was produced for free by the cable TV show "Rhett and Link: Commercial Kings," where the spot will be shown. By Friday afternoon the video had already reached nearly 250-thousand views on YouTube in just four days. Roller Kingdom employees play the criminals, including owner Brad Armstrong.
