Am I alone?
6 Answers
There are not many things in life I do not understand. If given a book and ordered to study I will probably even comprehend advanced nuclear physics.
However, I am at a true loss whilst watching "Phones 4 U" commercials.
Last year we were treated to a bearded woman, grotesquely obese with a silly voice, feigning captaincey on board a fishing trawler. I was in two minds then, but now am completely flummoxed by their latest offerring.
The same bearded inbred is looking through a pay-as-you-view coastal telescope with another grotesquely obese person. The sex, or indeed gender, of this new character, is unknown. It either has man boobs or puffy spaniel ears, like working class Welsh women have. I do not know.
Anyway, the whole concept of the commercial is pointless and confusing. Their is little, if any, semiological messages. It is also rather annoying, with the Ben Stiller look-a-like prancing about gesticulating "Phones 4 U" in a way only Americans can.
Perhaps, like other adverts, the fact I have mentioned it away from the TV, is a sign that it has worked. Job well done maybe. This is almost conspiratorial theorem by the top Ad men maybe.
Am I alone in my annoyance and complete lack of understanding regarding aforementioned Phones 4 U advertising?
And what is your making on the bearded woman?
