I’ve got to admit, I’m a bit all over the place today. I’ve done lots of work, but my mind is on Chinese fondue, weekend and some bizarre ads that I’ve been seeing on TV.
Even after seeing them repeatedly in the past few weeks, I stop what I’m doing every time they’re on. They puzzle me. What’s with the beer-drinking bigger-than-a-car jellyfish?? And WHY OH WHY is the cherry singing Chicago’s “If you leave me now” before being eaten by the little girl??? Does it make any sense to you?
For the out-of-UK folks reading my blog, you can see the ads on the Three Mobile website. I’m not responsible for you singing “Oooooh no, Baby please don’t go” while having a craving for maraschino cherries all day afterwards though.
It’s a mad campaign and I’d love to find out who’s behind the creation of those adverts. There has to be an advertising team with balls of steal to go through with the campaign. I’d just fear people would write it off as pure weirdness… but if it gets people talking, it can’t be that bad, can it?
