In the swamp of negative reactions to Jackie's advert for Kaspersky I found someone who liked it
Jackie Chan Fights Viruses on a Segway

Celebrities often sell themselves to corporations in order to earn some quick and easy bucks, sometimes even straying from the predictable genre of fashion accessories into the domain of technology.
Many of those ventures seem uncomfortable and strange, like the Seinfeld-Microsoft pairing or the banned-in-the-U.S. Christina Aguilera Virgin Mobile ad. Some can actually be successful and humorous, like the Alec Baldwin Hulu spots, and others artistic, such as the Wes Anderson and Brad Pitt tribute to classic French slapstick (disguised as a cell phone promo).
Joining the fray in a new commercial for Kaspersky Labs, which provides "World-class Internet security for our times," is a round-housing Jackie Chan, high-kicking his way into the oddball, madcap world of tech ads. The spot is just as absurd and strange as previous celeb offerings, and Jackie definitely makes this promo incredibly entertaining.
While the commercial may not inspire everyone to fortify their computers with Kaspersky, having Jackie obliterate chomping viruses in the "cyberworld" with spinning backhand punches and flipping scissor kicks (all from a Segway!) certainly can't hurt its sales. [From: YouTube]

This one actually supports what I said in an earlier blog about Jackie being stuck with being "Jackie Chan"
This one is anti- but at least is funny:
