Bell Canada - For the win...
Friday, August 21, 2009 at 1:36PMAmericans have a hard time admitting that Canada has something up on our country other than geographical location on the earth. But it seems clear to me that Bell Canada has a bit more saavy when it comes to adveristing a PHONE. In the US, the Palm Pre has been pitched with this crazy looking girl saying all sorts of strange things looking like she needs to go ahead and walk into the light. Bell Canada had a crazy idea - go show off the PHONE to real people. Hmm…maybe people intersted in getting a new phone would benefit from knowing just what it does. Nice facebook usage as well…
If you didn’t believe me about the Palm Pre US commercials…check this one out. Wow, I’m just not so inspired…
By the way, the reason nobody has any memory of their last life is that they didn’t have one. Simple…and it has nothing to do with a Palm Pre. Which is quite a nice phone by the way.

I'm glad I'm not in America to see that freaky commercial! It actually frightened me a bit. But the Canadian dude (no offense to my Canadian friends out there) needs some help with his tie. Really what's going on with that thing? I couldn't get past that.
the only thing cool about the Palm Pre is the commercial where it shows the DD in space. I'd go
i hate those palm pre commercials with that creepy girl. ugh. i fast forward through them whenever possible. she frightens me! thanks for the alternative. :)
Yeah, I think the ad company must have watched Children of the Corn or something...not sure how the creepy girl promotes a phone.
Ben, obviously you have spoken for genuine ignorance so I will not reply to you about my tres cool phone :)
It is weird how Apple people want to all have the exact same computer and the exact same phone - how original!
