John,
I'm plenty into the message; one of the things that attracted me to video in
the first place. I presented one perspective on the beer commercial with the
Chrylser building but I can see a couple of other intrepretations which might
be even more blatant. I get a male view and a female view, so I'll leave it to
you to intrepret.
Interesting point about the monkey… it is curious that, or so it seems, many
of these ads are insulting the very people they are supposedly trying to
pursuade. I'm not sure what to make of it, except for some cynicism on the part
of the creative directors. <g>
I find the Listerine commercial entertaining, and I get the idea that using
Listerine is supposed to give you the confidence of Tarzan. On the other hand,
I'm not sure the idea of a rampant Listerine bottle terrorizing my bathroom is
a comforting thought. I have a collection of little elephants on the bathroom
sill, I'm not sure they'd be really happy about it either; they have enough
trouble with the toothpaste. <g>
