Brilliant Video of Break-up with Advertising
Okay - we really wish we had done this! And we would have. Someday. When the budget grew a little.
It is brilliantly done! It's like a high-production-value, video version of our own Dear John Letter to Advertisers (please go sign it, if you haven't yet).
But you have to wait for the real punch line at the end - when the logo and website URL come up. You won't believe who created it - or at least paid for its creation. (Hint: it is a company that is brilliant at defining/recognizing problems, but when it comes to solving them with innovation - not s'great.)
Enjoy!

I thought it was ridiculous. Didn't care for it at all. If it had been on my TV I would have changed the channel.
Yum. Was that accurate or what? Deja vu. It was on the money, and brilliantly classy.
That was right on the money, not enough realtime interaction. Hope we can get in on that type of action with youdata.
I thought it was hilarious! Loved it!
that was cool, to bad you can't do this to humans
it was funny.
Funny
funny, but don't know if it would make it on t.v
It would be funny to see something like that on t.v
I've seen this before, I thought it was pretty good. I've seen much worse and I think this could work on an online video marketing site such as Adwido.
Funny..I think the point could be made a bit quicker..The ad gets you attention, but you may lose your audience because of length
i thought it was funny and gets the point across.
I thought it was awesome, I would love to see this on t.v. much beeter than some of those lame car commercials!!
Great post & comments --they should have added the favorite of advertisers of having the volume on your TV blare to the max when an ad comes on
Humorous and definately gets the point across. I agree it could go a bit quicker and would be great for t.v.
Very funny. I thought it was a brilliant way to show the relationship between advertisersand their target consumers. Bravo Microsoft!!!
Accurately depicted consumer and advertiser. Advertisers don't care about consumers. I woulda changed the channel too ;)
