New Blackberry Loves U2 Ad

I just caught this ad for the first time today watching Wimbledon tennis coverage. Guess the PR campaign has started. Special thanks to Jaime for sharing this on YouTube.

    I like the bit with the claw at the end, but why does it look exactly like the apple commercials in the beginning? the one with viva la vida. The “music-as-source-of-glittering-sparks” trope. they coulda done some cool stuff with the claw symbology.

    I saw this ad (very unexpectedly) at the theater the other night, before a movie, and it was an absolute pleasure. I did have to restrain myself from singing along, but it still made all the other adverts bearable :)

    “It’s based around the idea that men have fucked things up so badly, politically, economically and socially, that it’s really time we handed things over to women.”
