Ad for some tablet
Here’s an ad for some tablet that isn’t an iPad (thanks, D):

You know what I remember from this ad: it makes a clicky noise.
That’s it.
People dance around and shit like that, and the thing makes a clicky noise when you connect that thingie to it.
But you know what’s really odd about this ad (besides the fact that they decided to build a very expensive commercial around an unappealing noise)? That tablet has something really interesting. Honestly, it does. Go back and see if you can spot it.
Got it? Well, if it’s still not obvious to you, I’ll tell you: the thing you click on to the tablet has a keyboard. Now, I’ve no idea if that’s going to be a game-changer or if it even works particularly well, but it’s different and it’s interesting.
Unlike the ad.
Not to defend a crappy advert but I do think it’s obvious that it has a keyboard.
I’d say ‘obvious’ keyboard shots (and I’m being generous with that adjective; no one actually uses the keyboard and it’s quite light so it does rather blend into its background) make up no more than three seconds of the 60.
Better ad from Surface or worse? Better or worse. Better or worse, like being at the opticians.

Yeah, but it’s in the first few seconds of the ad so everyone knows what the ad is about. Like everything else we do at the moment.
God I hate my job at the minute.
Bet they used the dancing bit from 500 Days of Summer for the mood film.
Like every mood film ever done for everything.
Everyone’s a cunt except me. As someone great once said.
It’s the click of the Nazi Jackboots of Microsoft crushing all in its wake.
