60 second advertisment

"berries and cream berries and cream, im a little lad who loves berries and cream!
berries and cream berries and cream, im a little lad who loves berries and cream!"



first time i saw it, i had the *:O :D XD* reaction of omg. . .LOL ROTFL. it was simply one of the best comercials i've ever heard in my life. not counting, of course, superbowl comercials and the ones i saw before the age of. . .me actualy remembering? you have to hand it to the the people in advertisment over at starburst. that commerical is an amazingly remeberable piece of work. it gets stuck in your head and you think about it all the time. but thats the point, isn't it? to make your product something people talk about and want to buy. a catchy song, logo, or motto will get people to buy things
i remeber that im supposed to call '1-800-hansons get it done!' which instantly made me think larry the cable guy and im sure im not alone. i know im supposed to call bernstein or lee free if i need an attorney to sue some poor soul. i know if i want tacos i should think outside the bun, and that if i want a burgers i should go see the king. though it wouldn't happen as i don't eat meat and the king is rendered obsolete. not elvis, just burger king. elvis is the man.
companys spend billions every year to get people to smoke their cigarettes, eat their foods, shop their stores and drink their products. personaly i've never sued anybody, i don't smoke or most of those other things. so every time i see those advertisments and don't buy the product, they lose money. but hey they think getting the message in our heads is good enough. and it is. we remeber it and it's instantly brought up in our minds when were randomly reminded about it or need the product.
well, mission accomplished corporate america. i now know tons of mottos, slogans, jingles and other advertising montra. and to think i could've used that space to learn a foreign language or geometry. but hey, if getting my money is more important than obtaining the skills i may one day need to get a job or possibly save my life then i hope you'll feel better about yourself
*thumbs up*
