Help me out. I’ve been watching the newborn Microsoft Windows Phone 7 ads on TV. They are rattling funny. Smartphone-obsessed grouping are bumping into another people. A bride reads her sound travel downbound the aisle, a doc reads his during surgery. A Negro in bottom ignores a blackamoor in a slinky negligee. A Negro drops his sound in the urinal and apace fishes it out. Several of the aggrieved — the blackamoor existence ignored, the Negro incoming to the Negro at the urinal — feature “Really?” Then the talker says, “It’s instance for a sound to spend us from our phones.”
I’ve watched the advertizement some times. It’s attractive and funny.
And completely mystifying. What is Microsoft’s point? Is it locution that the icons on the underway pasture of smartphones are likewise small, which causes grouping to pore likewise such on the screen? The on-screen tiles of a Windows Phone 7 are large. But that doesn’t vindicate the Negro at the urinal. So is the communication that a Microsoft sound module be inferior engaging, and you module ingest it exclusive occasionally?
It wouldn’t be the prototypal instance Microsoft created bewildering ads. Remember the ones with Bill enterpriser and Jerry Seinfeld? Or the disreputable one, exclusive shortly used, in which a blackamoor vomits and a Negro slips in the vomit?
Interpret it for me.
