Palm Pre Commercial

[choi4816]

"Oh look at all nice suicidal Chinese factory workers that made my phone"

[TheTurboChampion]

m83 will be playing when I die.

[icedancer64]

omg people. they are not racist. nor worshiping her. there dancing so like acting out what shes saying. being racist would be OMG I ONLY DANCE AROUND WHITE PEOPEL. no. its a commercial. they needed some diversity.

[creamyallycheese]

This is NOT racist.They are not WORSHIPING her because she is white.They are not worshiping her at all!If there was a black person in the middle,everyone would say,"ALL WORSHIP THE BLACK PERSON!" They didn't look at the color.They chose a model that was pretty,and fit for this commercial.Not because she is "white."

[andyao]

dope @ao760

[glacierwolf08]

I think that's tai-chi, dude.

[emperorofmuffins]

lol, i looked at all the comments to start with and i'm like why is everyone being so racist? and then i saw the video and i'm like i get it.

racism aside, i love that thing people do with like their bodies, does anyone know if it has a name, it's sort of like an art.

-this sounds weird, even in my head, but i imagine it's what the child of an interpretive dance baProxy-Connection: keep-alive

Cache-Control: max-age=0

[ForbiddenRiot]

the lady is so ugly

[Castaril]

do white women think the whole world revolves around them? fuck i hate white people

[TH8MA3]

Its an add for a phone chill

[whatthefluk]

Maybe you should move to Mars than. Its a white world sucker!

[Laucheehung]

looks like cgi - in all honesty - looked really mediocre

[eliium]

I don't know... I mean, I'm all for new technology but I don't do a lot of sitting in idyllic pastures while quasi-monks flail in synchrony around me and I voice over with pure thought, and I'm not a woman, so maybe this isn't the device for me.

[zackam1306]

lmfao

[theatre4nothing]

remined me of the 2008 olympics

[Paradoxill]

the ad was inspired by it.

[Rose375]

ooh, that looked really cool.

[ericthemexicano]

these guys copied the song from fully flared......

[Romancefantasy]

Philippines Prisoners???

[fibreoptik]

there is nothing creepy about this ad whatsoever and anyone that says it is creepy or disturbing or inappropriate needs to get their fucking head examined! :p

[attatae]

lol this is so racist. all hail the white girl in the middle.

[jmorgan87]

That's just way you choose to see it. You are also suggesting that white poeple don't deserved to be hailed. Why not? Why can't anyone of any race be exalted in the center of a human blossom?

[attatae]

a) as far as i know, they have not released versions with asian, indian, black, hispanic, or even innuit people in the middle. thus, they give are giving preference to a white female.

b) the dancing asians surrounding her only serves to reinforce the perception of asians as a "faceless horde" who are mysterious zen enthusiasts.

[jmorgan87]

So every expression of every form of art should be subdued into a homegenized contraction of political correctness? That's isn't a world I want to be a part of. The universe is a single wave of energy and human beings are not part of a singularity of soul. Not in the material realms.

[jmorgan87]

The universe is NOT a single wave..

[attatae]

nowhere did i say racism is wrong, or everyone must be "politically correct". i merely chose to identify this video as having racist qualities highly unusual for commercial media. these days it is rather unlikely to see a commercial without a veritable "rainbow" of the races - usually a black person will be included, at the very least (that is, if humans are a central part of the commercial/advertisement). i was surprised at this video using two (arguable) stereotypes, that is all.

[attatae]

and just to be clear, the definition of "racism"

a belief or doctrine that inherent differences among the various human races determine cultural or individual achievement, usually involving the idea that one's own race is superior and has the right to rule others

now, when considering how the caucasian woman is the focus, upon a large boulder "throne", and that it is her movements that awake the "faceless horde" who dance around her, my argument is 100% irrefutable.

[gucker07]

you didn't make an argument. you just gave your retarded interpretation of the ad. how truly fucked up you are, lol.

[attatae]

:P X-]

ok gucky, i know you're mad about how your life sucks, so your silliness is tolerated.

[gucker07]

it's okay, atty. it was already obvious to everybody you have no idea what you're talking about. no need to make it still more obvious. lol

[TulliusVII]

Attatae,

I'm so glad somebody has finally told the truth. Look at any black man's porno collection and you will see how he worships the blond. This commercial tells it how it is, as blonds are clearly smarter and more beautiful than other people.

It is just fortunate that blond women have millions of Asians who work hard to make products like the Pre-Palm for them. Thanks for your keen observations.

[gucker07]

this is not racist but you're retarded. either that or you have some serious confidence problems, lol.

[attatae]

@gucker - ...

actually, who cares about gucker.

[iamonlinew]

Does anyone know where this was filmed? It's so pretty.

[Hidy24mia]

Dam it were the one where she talks about past lives keeping track of them just saw it on G4

[THESLEEPSMUSIC]

The Song is "Lower Your Eyelids to Die with the Sun" by M83.

Listen to:

The Sleeps

[iPoTH4CK3R]

The only thing I can think of when I watch this is Lakai: Fully Flared.

[BoatRepairMan]

OMG this ad is bad!

[huzzaluvva]

I have to correct myself, the name of the song is Tunnel, not Tunnels. My bad. Sorry for any confusion.

[SulakAttack]

yea its a really cool song. The song was used in a much cooler project, a promo for the Fully Flared DVD, tried looking it up again but Palm Pre might have bought exclusive rights to the song because I think they re-edited the promo with a new song :(, if anyone figures out the song message me please!

[ouren]

Same here, I use to have nightmares as a child of a lady always chasing me and she looks very similar to that lady.

[jsullivan80]

What the hell was that?

[Faulkenmind]

Does anyone know the name of the song from the latest 30 sec Palm Pre commercial, where the same girl says "Do you ever have one of those days, where everything just seems to work"?

[huzzaluvva]

I know, I am also looking for that song and didn't it mention something to the effect of a juggler and de javue? Anyone?

[Adahondeayenh]

Let me know if you find that commercial! The one with the juggler!

This might sound strange, but these commercials are (among other things) the communication of a higher intelligence that we humans.

[huzzaluvva]

I found the song to the Palm Pre phone: the one with the soothing piano music. everything working out just the right way and references to the juggler (That's all I remember as I've only seen it once but I wrote that down when I did). The song is called: Tunnels by The Dining Rooms on the Tre album. You can find it on itunes or Amazon. H

[Adahondeayenh]

Hey thanks for the info I will check that song out. There's something strange about these commercials.

[huzzaluvva]

I know, right? Compelling in a way. The marketing company is doing their job, we're all talking and the musicians love it because I just bought two of their songs. And FYI, the song Tunnels by The Dining Rooms is also available just instrumental on an album called Background Music for Your Personal Movies.

[reincarnage256]

any behind the screen?

[SRivera83]

damn that choreography was AMAZING!

[Weirdboyscott]

I'd really like to know the song name used in this as well.

[Weirdboyscott]

Answered my own question, it's M83 - Lower Your Eyelids to Die with the Sun.

[oreo4real411]

what song is this in the commercial?

[axeldiz]

two things i noticed about this add. 1. the girl is from the old disney channel movie "My stepsister from planet weird" she's the alien and two the song is from "Britney: for the record" it's at the end of the show i like this song, but i don't know what it's called.

[blee3ee]

where is this land located?

[RG2021]
