Re: Great TV Ads
Right now its the french cafe girl in the 'Windows 7 was my idea' ad that I always am compelled to watch.

Great as that commercial in the first post may be there is no way I am watching a four minute commercial. For shampoo. I don't care if Spielberg directed it. It just strikes me as pretentious.

Re: Great TV Ads
I agree with you and others that a 4-minute ad is obviously too long, but that's not the point. I don't care about the practicality or effectiveness of the ad, I just care if it makes an impact.
