As for that particular commercial, there's a story behind it. It's been done twice, once in Japan and at least once in Europe (for a copy-paper-company). Check it out the ads are like exactly the same. (Quicktime, not Flash though).
Gawd, someone somewhere will have to do one of those "summon dabitch" cards where anything involving ads gets me in a thread. I'm feeling mighty predicatble lately... Remind me to get a life.
aw, thanks BP. I'll have to get my ass over to Atlanta one of these days I can tell really animated and funny what-happened-at-so-and-so's adshoot stories over a few beers. (well, if yoou think strange stories in the life of advertising is funny).
I can also tell really really bitter stories about what a shitty industry it is and how many backstabbing fake people are in it , uhm, so don't get out the tequila, I think that kickstarts those. ;)
