Vanity - Somewhat Disturbing Commercial

Strange Verizon Ad


TOPICS: Computers/Internet; Miscellaneous; Society; Weird Stuff
KEYWORDS: ad; phone; smart; terrorism
I had the sound turned down when I watched this commercial and at first thought it was a movie promo for a terrorist related movie. Much to my surprise it turned out to be an ad for a Phone that actually seems to suggest that it is cool to blow up cars and buildings with your smart phone.

If it had the usual disclaimer, “Professional terrorist on closed course. Do not attempt”, it would be OK.

Whatever that ad is that has the pink elves promoting 4G is sick. When it first came out, the song sounded more like “orgy” than “4G” but the last few days they’ve re-done it so it sounds a bit more like “4G” but it could still be “orgy” if you’re not paying close attention. Of course, they wouldn’t have done that on purpose, right???

That is a strange commercial. When I first saw it, I thought they were saying orgy instead of 4G. If it weren’t for the visuals I would not have understood.

I thought at first that they were saying “orgy” too. It’s weird.

I didn’t read that into the commercial at all. The point of the commercial is that the sound quality of the phone and headphones is so good that you’ll be oblivious to any mayhem that is going on around you. At least that’s how I interpreted it.

Ooooooh. I thought the loud sound and music made you deaf and you didn’t realize what was going on around you.

What about the Trojan Vibrator commercial that comes on when kids are around at night. This stuff use to be hidden until the midnight hour. I had to change the channel my 8 year old was watching a movie with us when it came on.

Having seen the movie Inception, that was the first thing I thought of.

The similarity starts 1:43 into the vid.

When I was a kid, there wasn’t any crap like that on TV. I think some commericals fall under the name of soft porn. Mens’ perfume has a nasty one out with a guy in wet tighty whitey and a gal that shows him taking off her top...Designer fragrances are the worse along with viagra, female vibrator and using a vacumn on your johnson to get it hard...It says;;;;be all that you can be...A Kirby would be just as good and you can clean your floors with it...

I goofed, it’s a Domino’s ad, and her (?) name is “Jess,” which of course really doesn’t clarify anything. It’s not a terribly interesting ad, which I suppose is the point, lesbianism being so ordinary and normal, dontcha know. /s
