The long wait

John Lewis 2011 Christmas TV advert

The first time I saw this on TV I actually teared up. It's THE most precious ad I've seen in years (if not ever). The concept is absolutely genius, it's simple yet it hits all the right spots. How come no one has done it before?!

John Lewis, I applaud thee.


On another note, happy advent Sunday everyone!

I like ads

My newest blog all about ads

Did I tell you I got a new blog? Perhaps not. I HAVE A NEW BLOG!

Those Subliminal Messages is the newest in my collection of badly maintained blogs (not even joking). This one is all about nifty, funny and visually stunning adverts and commercials. Why? Honestly, I don't know I just realised I like ads, especially the good ones. So enjoy! :)

"Those Subliminal Messages is a result of a Mad Men-crazed, marketing joint student’s love for really nifty ads and everything visually stunning."

Facetime, good or bad?

I just saw this commerical for iPhone 4's facetime feature. Is it just me or doesn't it sort of have the opposite effect?
In the commericals (there are a dozen of them) the facetime feature is supposed to be a very useful thing and keep people connected, since they can see each other basically whenever and wherever. I on the other hand find the commercials really sad.

Rather than thinking they are lucky to have an iPhone 4 I think it's almost tragic that the father is not with them (the mother and son) on his sons's school play or whatever. Why isn't he there? He should be there, but no he's stuck at work and then the Apple people got the nerve to make them still look like a happy family smiling and making faces.

And have you guys seen the one with a woman talking to her mother while trying on her wedding dress?That one is almost even worse. Why isn't the mother able to meet her daughter in real life to see her in the wedding dress?! Why? It's horrible!

Am I the only one who think it's sad?

Whatever,
Tiffany
