    (Ok, so he didnt say breasts, I cleaned it up, but the spirit is the same.)

    In reply to The Palm Pre: It's Good For Your Cooter
    The "bing bing bing" as well as the rest of the commercial is designed to hypnotize you. To lull you into a state of semi-attention, where logos can be easily inserted into your subconscious. Then when you get to the phone store you pick up a palm pre and don't remember where you heard about it, but the name resonates in your subconscious, and pushes you closer towards a possible sale. It does not matter at all that you like the ad or think it relevant to the product.



    The reason the "bing bing bing" creeps you out is because you can feel that there is something wrong, you are basically snapping yourself out of being hypnotized. If you don't think it's creepy you are probably "just going with the flow" and fully hypnotized for the logo to get stuck in your head.

    @dolo54 blows minds and blows engines!: Nicely written up.

    And @bennymatthew: You should probably wait until you can actually comment to start doling out the hate words. Fair enough?

    @dolo54 blows minds and blows engines!: true they first bring up something pleasant, the feeling of things going smoothly, then they try to anchor it to the palm pre in your brain so that you associate the palm pre with that great feeling of things going smoothly.

    Is this supposed to be subliminal Microsoft advertising as well? Maybe they figure since Google is already in bed with Apple, they'll try to get Bing on their side.

    I saw the commercial and wondered who their target demographic was. I think it must be women, but I dont know why they think we would like it, it did nothing to make me want the phone, although she did have nice hair. And she isnt naked.

    @arke: Well see, you type things in the box. Sometimes they end up where you think they will be, sometimes they don't. And other times they end up in one place and then move around a bit later. And there's a button at the bottom you need to push EVERY FUCKING TIME so you can see everything all the nice people here have said.
