    Whatever happened to Apple's lawsuit over Australian supermarket chain Woolworth's trademark? Applebee's would be a more suitable target.

    They shouldn't be redeemable at Applebee's either.

    In reply to All Barcodes Should Be This Creative
    It looks like a really cool way to possibly incorpoate corporate logos into packaging and make it a little free advertising. The Cisco logo came to mind as being a primary example. Its already damn near a barcode. Maybe an Apple shaped one. The possibilities are actually endless. I hope it catches on. #barcodes

    Well, on one hand we have people already hooked on the product. On the other hand, we have to get more people in the loop. Hook... loop... hook... loop...

    Oh, man, I need to get a grip!

    In reply to Velcro Bus Ads Are Bound to End In Disaster
    It's the same principle as TV ads that play at higher volume than the program, or pop-up ads and flash overlays on the internet; they figure that, if they annoy you, they'll get your attention.

    In this case, while you struggle to free your wool overcoat from the velcro, you'll notice that Coke bottle and think, "Oh, hey, Coke! I can go for one now!" You know, rather than, "This aggravation I'm feeling is all Coke's fault! I'll never drink one again just to spite them!" #velcroads

    Amen. It seems everyone is trying to get on a viral video bandwagon or something. Nine times out of ten, by the time you have a commercial, product shots have leaked and people have reviewed it, so who is this stuff really targeted at? #nokian900commercials

    Hey, they still are more effective/less creepy than the Palm Pre ads. And yeah, Apple style marketing (assigning "personalities" to products that are inanimate objects) basically killed off the whole "showing the product" thing. #nokian900commercials

    @GitEmSteveDave_IsSlacking:

    Rewatch them, but looking into her eyes. You will feel none of the latter afterwords. *shudder*

    Those commercials freaked me the hell out. Made my view on the Pre a bit more "stupid/immature," however. #nokian900commercials

    Huh, I always assumed that was google in the first place.

    Glad google bought them out so my assumption would be correct.
