Palm Pre; Great Phone, Horrible Commercial
Whenever something great happens, we are compelled to write about it. The same is true for when we something atrocious pops up and gives us nightmares. That’s where the new Palm Pre commercial steps in. I mean don’t get me wrong, the Pre is awesome, but the latest ad on the airwaves is a nightmare. Who exactly wants to buy a smartphone being promoted by a girl who seems a bit out of it, like she’s talking to ghosts over shoulders? WebOS is a great platform, but getting a spirit-talker to promote it is a major bad idea. To further boost the nonsense creativity of the ad, the Pre doesn’t exactly show up on screen till some 20 seconds of the 30 second ad have passed. Palm knows how to make a good phone, now they should learn how to fire a bad ad agency. Watch the video yourself and be honest, would you buy toilet paper of it was advertised like this
I actually like these ads. I think the Palm Pre Girl is hot.
