(August 9, 2000)   NEW SEARS COMMERCIAL DIRECTED BY PAUL HUNTER?
I just saw a new Sears commercial that uses Christina Aguilera's new song Come On Over as the theme.  I am almost 100% sure that Paul Hunter directed this commercial, because it basically uses the sets and everything from the Paul Hunter-directed video for the same Christina Aguilera song, same look, same everything.  (By the way, Sears is co-sponsoring Christina's new tour)  So I'm going to credit it to Paul Hunter unless someone tells me otherwise.
