Remember that Jordan brand ad for Derek Jeter that came out right before the Major League Baseball All-Star break. The one where everyone tips their hat to Jeter to pay their respects?

The ad was well received and incredibly popular, as is Jeter himself. So what about the other famous New York Yankees star, Alex Rodriguez, who is a little less popular?

The folks over at Funny or Die made a parody video of that Jeter ad centered around Alex Rodriguez, and instead of everyone paying their respects to a baseball legend, they all flip off a notorious PED abuser and cheater.

That ad starts off the same way, A-Rod stepping into the batter box with the same slow music. Then it proceeds to show Yankees fans, flicking off A-Rod. It shows some Seattle Mariners and Texas Rangers fans getting in on the action as well. Even Mr. Rogers and President George W. Bushm and Mr. Bean make an appearance.

The video wends with the crowd flicking him off.

And just like the Jordan ad stylized RE2PECT for Jeter, they stylized FL13K YOU for A-Rod.
