So Bruce asked me about my thoughts on a couple of ads - so I shall share these thoughts with everyone. How lucky.
This is for 10:10 global trying to encourage people to cut their carbon emissions.
I personally think this is horrendous. It's not clever, or funny or endears me to the cause in any way shape or form. It actually makes me a little mad. Negative consequences, more to the point negative consequences which are fictitious don't work for me. Yuck. I would change the channel to specifically get away from this ad.
Next ad is for the Windows Phone:
This I quite like until the last the last 10 seconds when the commercial makes NO sense at all.
The first 50 seconds are so so true and funny and clever and I can see myself and MANY people I know it a number of those situations. The issue, is that I don't believe that a phone which is capable of more would ever fix the behaviour which is shown. No way, no how. I became like some of the people represented in this commercial once I got my android. More access to more information, all the time = non-stop phone fiend.
On a related note, this is a nice commercial touching on some similar themes:
That's all I have to say. Anyone else got any thoughts??
