Face Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 61 Posts: 3941 | What's a "haul video"? I think it's trying to imply you'll feel all giddy and stupid like a teen, it's so good. It also conveys, to me, a sort of hidden loathing of these types of people. Maybe the director snuck it in, maybe it's nothing. Either way, dumb commercial. We should do a Great Commercial thread. I think EB posted a Bud one somewhere long ago, and I remember it being good. I think ads have a capability of being art themselves, but don't really know anyone who's taken it there. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Youtube video of all the stuff someone brought on their shopping trip. It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die.... it's called Life |

I just learned this, because the governments of the USA and Canada are increasingly regulating these videos. It is when a teenage girl goes to a store and shows off her "haul". She describes the clothes she bought and the prices. They are becoming a major marketing tool now among retailers and have made some teenage girls (particularly the one below) very wealthy. They seem to involve non-stop talking. |

Very interesting what 30 years does. I see this as a prophecy. The world is all drones. Tyranny reigns. They even refer to "1984". And here comes Apple. Fresh, vibrant, in color. A woman, in shorts, wielding a hammer? You too can have power previously unimaginable. And with that power can blow to bits the Orwellian society forming around us. Fast forward thirty years. How much of this "Orwellian-ness" we currently see is now a direct result of the advent of the computer? The very computer they pitched in the anti-Orwellian ad? Life's funny. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Your vid doesn't show for me. I'm not complaining, just saying ;) These must be from the same sects that catalog filtered pics of their daily meals, yes? Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

It's to make you look at the screen if you're not. Old trick, a lot of TV commercials do that with a strange loud or obnoxious sound. Even if it's irritating it's makes you look and that's what they want. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

More. the book was written in 1948 ;) For me, what's memorable about the Apple 1984 ad is that it was not directed against Microsoft, but against IBM. Ironically, though, Apple became a cult later in its corporate life. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |
