best commercial ever
May. 6th, 2007 08:36 pmI have a love-hate relationship with ads. As I think I mentioned before, when I was in third grade I wanted to go into advertising, because it sounded like the perfect blend of my interests in art and psychology (both my parents were psych, majors in college). My hippie dad squashed this interest by telling me I would need to sell people things they didn't need, which was bad. I'm still fascinated and repulsed at the same time by commercials. A kids book I read recently pointed out that music videos really are just ads for albums, but I like to think they are more of an art form, an extension of the music. This ad for the BBC is probably one of the best I've ever seen, mixing music, celebrity, and great visuals. And personally, I think if you are going to watch television, BBC really is one of the better options out there. Plus, this is just a pleasure to watch.
