Diamonds look like glass. whats the difference? why do they symbolize love so much? i'd much rather get a nice bunch of roses than a little rock that i probably wouldn't wear that often.
Since decades DeBeers tries to teach people that diamonds are a symbol of love. I still don't believe it. ;) Modest people don't wear diamonds (even although they could afford it). It's classy to be modest. But probably fools will always be easy to impress with diamonds.
Exploiting the people of Sierra Leone and other nations and stealing their wealth. Forcing the people to live in squalor as slaves who have only one purpose- to work for inhumane hours under God forsaken working conditions. Killing workers who take diamonds from the mines. Using diamonds to finance war and genocide. All so these smug arrogant pricks can make a big to do out of how much they "love" each other. Diamonds are not a symbol of love. They are a symbol of greed and corruption.
i dont like how they get the diamonds...i dont even care to own a diamond(i dont), but i do love this commercial...i just like how he smiles and then the background music and the snow...its not the diamond though. he could have placed a chip or his toenail clippings...ok ok, thats gross, but he could have placed something else in his hand and i would still love it...So, i dont support the diamonds but i do support how sweet this commercial is...
This is so fucking dumb. "Diamonds are forever" You've got to be kidding me...
Forever? Diamonds? Diamonds are hollow material possessions that mean nothing. The only people who would take this commercial seriously are the shallow ones who actually care about jewlery. I'd never be with a girl that would value a diamond. Diamonds mean nothing, it's the experiences you share that matter. Why is the world so fucked up?
You make diamonds look like they have no worth! Has it crossed your mind that people are the ones who put diamond value and i don't mean materialistically. A diamond can be a metaphor of love, death, transformation, etc. It's just sad that you havent experienced symbolism
You mean haven't experienced rampant materialism? There are a lot of things that can be given that won't force a guy to mortgage his home. Would you feel just as ram and fuzzy if he gave you a crackerjack ring, or is it that he's willing to break himself for you, put himself in debt for a bauble?
Don't even get me started on the women who insist on 'natural' diamonds from companies like DeBeers...
Would you cherish it as much if it were plastic? Seriously, diamonds aren't even rare. Their value is so insipidly artificially inflated, while the whole diamonds for engagements was a ruthlessly clever advert by DeBeers back from 1921.
And the explanation for a crackerjack ring? Perhaps he liked it enough that he felt you should wear it? And that rock you love so much, what if it was a man-made diamond?
Now you're just going around the bush, don't make up theories in an argument. Anyway, even if it were plastic?? Well yes, it could have even been pure dirt for that matter and i would cherish the same. If you're so enraged about "diamonds" (FOR A REASON) then be clever like DeBeers
Nothing says, "Shut that bitch up with ice!" like an overpriced carbon crystal begotten, at best, by the most despicable labor practices known to man, and at worst, by the very blood of African children.
He looks too old for her. Like a sugar daddy with his trophy wife.
Also, it's unrealistic that the cars behind him didn't start honking their horns like crazy, instead of just going around them. I know it would have spoiled the mood of the commercial, but really...
Just remember, chances are the diamond you buy your fiance, girl friend, wife, is very likely a "blood diamond." Might want to google that before buying that rock.
@gokudabomb1 actually it would. No demand for diamonds means an over supply of a product. Prices drop, consequently the market plunges. Without money to fund arms for various guerrilla military groups, they should shed quite some power. They also wont b makin a profit from digging for diamonds. Hence, the whole sharade is squashed, n less people will die, theoretically. If not, then it has nothin 2 do wit diamonds
I agree! Omg and this other Gap commercial where this couple just come together and kiss in the snow or somethin but OMG the song really made it so beauitful!! AND Im really diggin that MAC notebook AIR song too.. by um Yaen somethin- a french chick
I know this might be weird, but I think this is the best commercial I have ever seen. It gives me strange, yet really good feelings; I never thought a commercial could do that.
