Hello,
today I saw an MD ad by Sharp on MTV. I'll type in a description
that might not be complete, I only caught it with half an eye:
The ad starts with several twentysomethings listening to some
music on a bookshelf system (by Sharp, obviously). After a
couple of rather uninformative shots of the people "grooving",
one guy pops out the minidisc, which looks like a blank (it had
no label I think), puts it into his portable and walks out.
Cut to: a harbour environment, two guys meet, both with portable
MD players. They sit down, open their portables and exchange
the discs. One of them points his indiglo Sharp remote into the
camera, then they part. Subtitle: "Digital deal with Sharp
minidisc" or something like that.
Now, this is far less cryptic than Sony's ads, but what exactly
WAS the message ? Sharp endorses (probably) illegal trading of
music ? And if it was legal, why did they meet on a quay ?
Oh well, at least the recording aspect was emphasized more clearly
(at least I believe the disc was recorded in the beginning).
And none of them carried pigeons on the head !
BTW, is this a new ad ?
Regards,
Alexander Dietrich
