More advertising unrelated to what is being sold, but you'll remember something about a weird-ass commercial selling something for a computer parts manufacturer.
 
The Megan Fox ad, you could also say, was all about leading up to the point where the dolphin actually speaks. When it finally does, I could barely hear it, and definitely couldn't understand it. It would've been more effective if the dolphin ended up sounding like a familiar and unique voice, like Tracy Morgan or something... that woulda been a lot better.
 
[citation][nom]redeye[/nom] Megan Fox Ad is odd because you are transfixed by meagan Fox's hands, and by her, which means that the so the commerical is more about her, and her hands,[/citation]

I spent most of the time looking for the toe-thumbs.
 
[citation][nom]ta152h[/nom]Wow, she's already losing her looks. [/citation]
Losing her looks, granted she's know for her physical appearance and not her acting skills but c'mon, she's still very attractive.

She is still somewhat attractive, but she's really starting to look odd. Like pornstar with too much plastic surgery odd. Her lips look like she got punched in the face.
 
[citation][nom]ta152h[/nom]Wow, she's already losing her looks. Why they show her talking to Dolphins is pretty simple. Computers are commodities. There's really no differentiation done at the OEM level, and instead they have to sell the sizzle instead of the steak. You try to make a commercial to hold interest, show it as a tool (even though a different computer could have done it, this is irrelevant), and people associate this sub-consciously with a tool that can be used to do exciting things.You have to remember, people using computers now are in many cases morons. It's not the 1970s, 1980s, or even early 1990s when computers were owned by only a segment of the society. So, you get Coke/Beer/Corn Chips type advertising. They don't tell you why their computer is better, no one would understand it anyway. They sell the sizzle. They do understand that. It's sad, really, but not as sad as the fact women lose their looks so quickly. She seems to have set a record. Yuck.[/citation]

LOL so much irony. LOL!

I would touch her. She's plain weird looking. In some ways grotesque. She looks three part alien. There's something really odd, in an unwholesome way about her. It's disturbing.
 
So let's see if I remember what I've just watched..... It's a couple of Intel Ultrabook adverts with some babe baking cupcakes and getting lab coat geeks to hug each other while some hard guy blows up dolphins. Is that right?
