A clever advertisement

March 31st, 2008

Saw this ad at [ embodiment ], along with some great commentary about the devices they used to make it such a successful commercial. It definitely sucked me in!

    Actually it made me laugh. I find the old man funny. LOL. And he is right too! Sometimes people get too attached to their belongings and fail to realize that there are much better stuff out there. Nice find Elizabeth!

    Ok I must be crazy cause, I feel sad for the lamp. Discarded on the curb, stuck sitting in the cold rain at night, looking at the ground all depressed.

    Cleaver ad… worked for me.

    Yes, a great commercial :-D At first I was sad for the lamp, it remembered me an animated movie, about a toaster and his friends (there was a lamp too) who were left in an old house and then they wanted to find their owner again… but than the guy brought me back to the reality :-)
