    In the next commercial, she bites the head off of a live bunny, bends over, and shoots a Palm Pre out of her ass. Yea, it's a little off the beaten track, but hey, it'll get attention, so that's good, right?

    You know - most of you are missing it.

    How many articles have there been on Giz now about this ad campaign? How much free ad time have they gotten?

    How many of you have mentioned it to your friends?

    "The only thing worse than being talked about.. is not being talked about."

    The ads are a success. You're talking about them.

    PS: Yeah - she DOES look like the Borg Queen, doesn't she?

    I think all of you are missing the point. The whole purpose of these (and any) commercials is to make them memorable to the consumer, whether it is done through cuteness, catchy jingles, comedy, or creepiness, it does not matter! There are countless other commercials that would rank equally high on the stupidity, creepiness scall. In this particular case, it is the jarring image of the creepy albino woman that just refuses to get out of your head, and makes her (and Palm Pre) instantly recognizable.

    The very fact that everyone here is talking about these commercial validates their success.

    The sad part is, she actually has some cuteness potential. The creepiness does not help one bit.

    I'd like to thank the Academy, Reil, Adam Frucci, and last, but most definitely not least, Nick for his tireless campaigning for my star. Just remember, my former fellow non-star-bellied sneetches: Don't ever stop dreaming, and keep it classy. One day you too can reach the stars!

    ....................Seriously, I watch these commercials, and the only perennial, invasive thought I have pinging my fucking brain, is "WHO OK'ED THESE COMMERCIALS? What Palm exec actually watched these and signed off on them hitting the airwaves......WTF is WRONG WITH YOU???"

    @TheSonOfKrypton: It's like a instantly-recognizable effect. You know, like Head-On. Everyone instantly groans and has a laugh. Except, with these, everyone just kinda gives each other shifty looks and stare at their feet until something else is brought up. See, everyone recognizes the Pre!

    So you're required to take a whole mess of drugs to understand these commercials? Seems like the wrong demographic to go after with a smartphone... "duuuude, my phone read my mind!!! I thought I would get a text and I got one!!!!"

    The concentric circles of dancers look like a mini-version of the concentric circles of dancers routine during the opening ceremonies of the Beijing Olympics mashed up, of course, with the Philippines Thriller prisoners. Probably a metaphor for a little bit awesome (software) + a little bit suck (hardware), of the Pre.

    For a second there, I thought it was an upcoming shot for the the sequel to "The Next Karate Kid", and they were re-doing the scene where the monks dance to Dreams.
