THEN they just use it for whatever job comes along next, whether it fits or not.   -------------- The answer is 42 - but what is the question? Back to top

There is'nt supposed to be one. Why? Because would we be talking right now if there was? The idea was to spark off people talking about it. and it did its job, being one of the most popular ad's of the year. -------------- Grand piano. Reed and pipe organ. Glockenspeil. Bass guitar. Vocal chords. Two slightly sampled electric guitars. The venitian effect. Digital sound processor. And Tubular bells.

I was half expecting the drummer to remove the mask to unearth Peter Gabriel!! Hey, what do you mean it aint a real gorilla?? Thought it was!   -------------- Far away across the field The tolling of the iron bell Calls the faithful to their knees To hear the softly spoken magic spells Back to top

It's simply there to create discussion. And by the very fact this thread of possibly many threads across the internet would indicate the ad has accomplished this. I do prefer these abstract ads over the more mundane "here's the product; it does this; its' great. Buy it!" And of course the more abstract the more it will generally stay in the mind long after the ad campaign has ended. Back to top
