not an attack on you.... but....

a) there is no such thing as a good commerical. every commercial starts with a buch of cunts sitting around thinking up ways to get inside the mind of your average cow brained idiot, so that they can convince them that they need to part wioth their money for another new phone etc. no matter how cool, or cutting edge or whatever... ultimatly everty single advert boils down to that same things. cunts in pink ties circle jerking eachother off in meetings.

b) you like this advert? really? i litterally find this type of advert insulting. singing and dancing.... thats it. no actual details. the makers of this advert think that their target market is morons. you can hear them saying... these pod people dont need actual information, and they certanly dont need to spoken to like adults. spoon feed them a bit of shitty caberet and then stick our logo on the end to conicide with them grinning like chimps at the end.

sorry mate i know this comes accross as front up to you... i respect you as an Amsterdam fan, its not personal..... i just cant belive you actually picked the advert that makes me turn ther telly on mute when it comes on. (like most of them to be honest)

also dont get me wrong. i am a capitalist, and business is business.... but fucking hell marketing is patronising. insulting and patronising.

Highly irratating imo. The worst one was the Pink advert - all those goons singing along desperate for their second of camera time. Would like to oranise a flash mob where all the losers get pelted with stuff, tell them it's some sing along - then attack

hahaha wow....i enjoy it because of the fact that everyone is involved in the music, no instruments etc. found it quite impressive, also the fact that its spontaneous, nobody knew they were walking off the plane to this....

but i haven't taken your view personally, every1 to there own. I don't personally see how it is patronising, especially compared to others. They haven't thrown loads of info at you because the point of the advert is to grab your attention and then direct you to tmobile, and everybody already knows what they are, and what they do....I like the fact that they organised a flash mob instead or something like this.....http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rWV_dWz_nbQ

You understand business is business but yet still insulted by commercials?

I hate these ads, they are not "random" or whitty in the slightest, they are pre planned get togethers caught on film and shown on tv like it all just happened out the blue. Pretentious w*nkstains IMO. Glad to get that off my chest

Edit : Also ruined one of my favorite songs!

the singers etc were rehearsed....but the people coming off the plane had no idea.

i guess i just prefer commercials like this over the boring ones that list a bunch of shit and then put some small print at the bottom of the screen to fool u....

Man I had the same problem with the ads they done at train stations where they all danced together, they interviewed people in these ads aswell and half the people were giggling and saying how "random" and spontanious they are because they attended a Pre-planned event. These things just piss me off, it's not an attack on you dude(my girlfriends sister loves the ads and actually went to the pre planned dance thing... the cow... ).

I like the adds as they remind me of this kinda stuff, which is much clever and nothing to do with advertising!
