en Case You Missed It

This next bunch of advertisements I have never seen on television but then again I’m not a big TV watcher.  Sony came up with very creative (and expensive) ways to advertise their BRAVIA televisions.  There is no sign of the television in the commercial until the name is mentioned at the end so you can only sit and wonder what is being advertised.  The commercial shown here is an extended version so you can see all of the work that must have gone into this ad instead of a regular 30 spot.  Imagine having to clean up after this was finished!   The other three ads are titled Paint, Rabbits, and Pyramid.

There are just 12 days left to take part in this promotion.  $399 will get you one of these XO laptops to keep and the other is sent to a child in need.  T-Mobile is also giving participants in the United States a free year of access to their Internet Hotspots.  Thanks goes to MIT, AMD, Google, Brightstar, and Red Hat for making this great device possible.

These laptops are amazing!  Here are some of the features:

• Extremely durable against environmental factors (high heat and humidity)
• Can connect to other laptops in the community (to chat and share projects)
• Tons of games for learning valuable skills or just for fun

And much more!

One of the recent Mac commercials from the PC vs. Mac campaign shows the chubby and nerdy PC character warming up for a boxing match.  He states, “I’m not going down without a fight.”  Well, I found some PC vs. Mac spoof videos where PC comes out the winner each time, which is fun twist.  The Work video is shown below and three others can be found here (Money), here (Girl), and here (Music).  Gotta love the line about Mac’s cat.  =)

When I was a kid, we didn’t have the Lego figurines that kids have today.  If they did exist at the time, my parents must have been hiding the advertisements.  When Lego people were needed to inhabit the huge castle or city that I had just built, it was time for–pause, wait for it–imagination.  This would be a good time to queue Handel’s Hallelujah chorus.  The first image shows a Lego person that I would build in my youth.  That is why these new Lego advertisements make sense to me.  The second image is one of four new advertisements made by Blattner Brunner and can be found here.
