The THREE MILLION dollars AD

This was aired during the Super Bowl. Less than 60 secs (53 secs to be exact), no actors, no voice-over. Only ONE PICTURE.  Just words on a computer screen…

So what are we left with (that we didn’t know already) ?

  1. Google is easy to use
  2. You can ALWAYS find what you look for
  3. Even love
  4. in 53 secs

Here’s a comment from YouTube:

i liked this ad when i saw it during the superbowl.
it was really deep & a sweet story. it really made you think. playing out the story-line in your head..

Worth paying that kind of money? Just a drop in the bucket 🙂

The excitement is mounting. I did take a look at the downtown core last Sunday and I tool some pics I’d like to share. More to follow…

David Cheesewright & David Suzuki agree its time to "Share Green"

Mmmm…donno what to think…

Here’s a comment about this video:

Well, let’s hope this leads to something positive. I’m aware that Wal-Mart has been trying to find ways to make itself more sustainable, but it’ll take a lot of work convincing the general public. Wal-Mart is in a position to lead the way. (Even though most great new ideas seem to come from the small guys, they get funded by the big guys – at least in this E-conomy). I can’t help but remain skeptical since ultimately I’m not a big fan of the company, but I still feel hope that change can happen

Until next time 🙂
