The phone that this commercial is advertising is a lot less impressive looking than the commercial itself (wooden phone, really?) Managing to chain together hundreds of wooden steps to play classical music is quite impressive. Reminds me slightly of the Rube Goldberg style Honda commercial from a few years ago. Timing the fall of the ball to the notes in the music its not bad, not bad at all. via Tokyomango

I saw the photo below on the back of a magazine recently and something about it didn't look quite right. One of the more exclusive and expensive brands advertising itself with a photo in one of the world's poorest places? And Bono (and his wife) as the models. There seems to be some charity angle to it at least, not to mention an ego angle ("Bono is launching an African-inspired clothing range") But from only looking at the back of a magazine (and not seeing the fine print) it just looks so out of touch.
