well this commercial just plain sucks
1. Spends 30 seconds talking about what she ate and some juggler (meanwhile I'm saying to myself "Who f**king cares!") then finally it turns into a cellphone commercial (me: "Wait, what?") 2. The lady looks and sounds like a stoner witch with laryngitis |

Wait is this the stupid one with the girl facing away from the camera and then turns to look at us as if to interrupt herself from her new awesome Pre?
I hate the whole format and feel of that ad |

Also I like how the commercial tries to give off this whole nature plain and simple look when the main selling point of the phone is that it updates all these social networking sites that usually keep people inside on the computer all day rather then enjoying the outdoors.

I had no clue what the hell this commercial was about. I see some strange, ghost-looking woman on my TV in an awkward closeup talking about food and juggling. Then in the final seconds I see it is about a phone. I'm like "Wow, all that crap for cellphone".
Just when I thought they couldn't have a commercial worse than that ear rape indie s--t music ad, they make this one. Just as pointless. |

Since I'm rooting for the ads to die instead of a person I should be fine karma-wise. |

"ITS A MAN BABEEE YEAA!!!!"
The first time I saw this add, I was like...."what tha?" What does some ultra feminine man and a bunch of orange jumpsuit dancers have to do with a phone? needless to say it ruined my entire day. Then this ultra pale girly man started talking about juggling, and it all made sense after that......lol. |

Hmm, Poetry that makes no sense? See this one constantly on BBC America. Looks like these Palm Pre people are trying to look hip with poems that no one really understands nor cares about.

Does no one recognize this as the main character in the Disney movie "Stepsister from Planet Weird"? I remember it being on rotation back in 2000. She's always looked kind of funny :P

People in the so-called "entertainment industry" tend to look that way. And it's because they really ARE blank and soulless. |

The commercial says that the phone "updates multiple live applications". This has nothing to do with social networking sites. Sure you can have them open if you want to, but the phone is not about social networking sites. Yea I know one of the commercials showcases Facebook but there's not even an app for Facebook available. It's just the same mobile website that any other smartphone would load. Anyway, consider it as an iPhone (without as many apps yet) that will allow you to do more than one thing at a time and isn't ginormous. It's the perfect balance of compactness and screen size, and you don't have to close out of one thing to access another, like listening to Pandora and sending an email. Anyway, while I absolutely love the phone, I do agree that this chick is pretty creepy. But the juggler analogy is a good one, it's just presented in a weird way. |

Is this the one with (what looks like) a topless woman with a green nature background? I think it bugs me that she looks naked while trying to market this phone.

I thought this was a perfume ad when I first heard it and saw it out of the corner of my eye, with the pastoral scene and random musings. It wasn't until I looked up and saw the phone that I realized what it was for. Still doesn't make me want to buy the phone, but now I feel the need to buy a new scent.

At first I thought this must be a sunscreen ad/ SP99... or a PSA for some horrible disease. like melanin deficiency- losing eyebrows-dead eyes disease.

God I hate commercials with gimmicks. The gimmick here is the freaky pale girl. They want us to be like OOOhhh who's she? I'm so interested now. I saw this ad several times before I even knew wtf it was for. That isn't effective advertising, when people don't know what the hell you're trying to sell.

I guess I'm alone here. I really fancy this lovely girl. The whole presentation is very artistic. She looks like a classic painting from the Renaissance period.
I used to date a lass that looks like her before I became married. The phone looks interesting too. |

Yes you are. Lots of other birds out there, no need to get all flummoxed over one who's so annoying. Surely you could do better than HER. |

Watching BBC America lately, I have noticed at least 2 more versions of the commercials with her. The fact she looks like that she fall onto the set through a giant bag of flour doesn't bother me, the part that bothers me is the whole random poetic babbling that leaves you confused.
I don't mind the chick, but god, stop with these horrible poems! |

Actually, I did. I married my lovely (brown-haired) wife Jeanne 27 years ago (as of three days ago...our anniversary). The lovely lass on this ad looks very British to me. That's part of the attraction for me. I love the look of the ladies of my home land. I guess I'm a bit homesick. I'll be visiting in August. Can't wait! Cheers! |

What part of the UK Jimmy? My husband was born and raised in Yiewsley. His family has since moved away from there (near a town called Frimley now) and we'll be visiting for the holidays this year (never been to England around Christmas time so I'm psyched:)

I noticed in the first commercial she says "bing, bing, bing" as she's scrolling thru the Palm. Is microsoft in bed with Palm with this commercial?
