Minority Report Commercials

[omg123596]

Looks neat!

[ronfrou]

This is being done right now, there are a lot of companies, including the owner of this site, tracking your every move on the web and serving you advertisements according to your activity. Of course there are ways to somewhat block such tracking. Maybe in the future there will be some sort of device to block retinal tracking,

[lovelplants]

lol.. what a...

[AltairEgo1]

Idiocracy did the same. You know that shit about Carl's Jr was product placement.

[SatansMullet]

I always though this scene was cool though, it shows you just how the fuck bad its GONNA be if we dont do something! lol

[souleaterfan1234]

Great Way to lower budget

[plusplusplusplusp]

I wouldn't be surprised if Google tried this shit if retinal scanners were prevalent

[Trikstarck]

@TheAtlanticDan Uhm, this kind of advertisement could be viewed as the pinnacle of capitalism. In a communist world, these screens would be showing state propaganda.

[Chucktanium]

So first you're struck by the portrayal of this dystopian corporate future where invasive ads are everywhere. Then you realize they actually used the scene to sell real fucking ads for actual products.

... irony anyone?

[GeorgeAIexanderYarid]

@Chucktanium nice to know Cracked got you here, but did you have to copy and paste that statement?

[Chucktanium]

@GeorgeAIexanderYarid I clean my clothing with a can of febreeze, so forgive me if i'm not the most respectable person on the internet

[xTheLostProphetx]

@Chucktanium Lol!! Direct copypasta there, trying to look smart fail, hahaha

[FrozenAnarchy]

Illuminati.

[bijps2shtr]

i would hate to walk through those malls cuz of my weird name they'll butcher it every time

[actgif68]

this is where we are headed if you all don't take mushrooms and wake the fuck up!

<3

[mimage]

It's the Kinect camera!

[bretonrlong]

This future needs to get here now

[SuperCoolDude2014]

This would freak a lot of Paranoid Schizophrenics the fuck out! 0__o

[ConspiracyExposure]

The future is hear. Wether you believe it or not, the eye scanners will be in your city/town in a year or two.

[livardo]

talk about IRL pop-ups

[HankJwimbleton876]

Talk about hearing voices in your head....

Like I really wanna hear a fat soparano guy calling my name to go compare or a god awful song and dance hit telling me that they buy any car...

[TruthTheBook]

I found this article in the UK Telegraph newspaper about personalised advertising billboards that will soon respond to the RFID chip in your credit card or mobile phone. We are only one step away from the creepy scene in the film.

[abradras]

not a single one person in that clip where sunglasses ..i would :)

[TheBdsmer]

sheeeeepsssss!!! I wish this doesn't happen never and the zionists die before they bring these protocols in real life...

[betterdays105]

Great stuff. I use this in my media classes to illustrate target marketing. Things are bad now and will get worse.

[steffiedegroot]

There will allways be advertisement. Better to have ads that i'm interested in then the spam i get in my mailbox every day.

[1990Beau]

Why would you upload this? Waste of space.

[walker1054]

@1990Beau to demonstrate the future of advertisements?...

seriously out of all the stupid things on youtube youre calling this a waste of space?

[mmmmmmmmmm9999]

Please tell me we're not going to have annoying technology like "that" in the future.

As if advertisements these days aren't obnoxious enough. XP

[matrixlone]

@mmmmmmmmmm9999 theres already a machine built that functions similar to the minority report touch motion thing and blade runners picture thing

[goodoldjam]

Instead of getting a eye transplant, he should of got his eyes shined for 20 menthol Kools.

[GetaLifeMan1234]

wow it will be a cool world if that happen.

[wiseye61]

dude, it would be freaking annoying, all those ads screaming your name.

[kalamantas3]

tom cruise is an icon

[TheBdsmer]

@kalamantas3

fake icon

[fupa16]

it seems advertising in the future will result in confusion and garbled messages as every advertisement is played to you simultaneously thus defeating the purpose entirely.

[regjornal]

Lexus 2.0

[livardo]

Unless they amended the constitution I don't see how this kind of intrusive retinal scanning could ever be allowed.

[codekramer]

private property, you need to sign for the whole job if you want the job.

[livardo]

what job? The scans are being performed on everyone. Not only that, but the scans are tied to govt. lists (the reason Tom Cruise's character got an eye transplant). Looks like privacy went out the door in this dystopian version of the future.

[celshader]

privacy has already gone out the door.

[TheMathGuy]

Some places on the internet are already like this! What's amusing but also annoying is when I see an ad that is totally irrelevant to me but I can easily guess as to exactly what information of mine they must have used to tell them I was in their target market. At least with the internet you can close your browser, but can John Anderton ever shut the damn thing off? A guy would be liable to go crazy after too much of that!

[Coribec]

Suicide rates must be high there.

[ConspiracyExposure]

@Coribec The suicide rate is about to increase. The United States Pentagon just announced the are trying eye scanners on illegal immigrants and are planning to introduce this technology to the public and business world soon. They scanners work up to 6 feet away. This is not a conspiracy, this is news.

[JayTsunDayVis]

@Coribec: Those are the 0.00000001% of the population who stayed alive. 98 ppl out of 7.2 billion. :-D

[neferiusnexus]

@Coribec And, unsurprisingly, the organ trade a-booming!

[roxusan]

They are already putting cameras in some mall ads, and they can now tell genders apart as well as estimate a viewer's age and race.

[raymonaco]

If you think this in is not going to happen you need to think twice. I have and I'm currently working on systems that enable this capability.

[shirleyarg]

That's our future :(

[sanmarcosmark1]

Awesome movie

[loodog555]

Supersonic beams, eh? Yeah, that'll be real useful. Unless you want people to be able to hear it.

[mihiro2]

this is our future

[ivannoun]

not unless people work together to fight it. we outnumber the ruling elite, we just need to wake up. this will not be my future and it shouldn't be yours. we are born to be free and independent thinkers. we must question what we are told by the media and our educational institutions. don't trust the government because they don't work for us. i'm not saying everyone in government is evil, but the people running the show who really know what's going on are.

[Ichiboko]

HZ RULLZZ

[Moarhh888]

OEHH HES so HOT!

[oliviaisgod]

i had to watch this film at school for philosophy class & i was suprised that it is actaul very good considering tom cruise is in it..

[kalamantas3]

wtf

[cardesigner5]

"a road to verges in the desert" , wat the fuk

[Abhothra]

that women on the left at 00:46 is keeping her eyes closed haha fuck the system

[dragoons9009]

Honestly, at first I'd be like "STFU!!!!"

Seriously, though. I am serious.

And then I take a step back and think, "Wow, we've come all this way." Commercials shouting your name, now that's something.

[HLimmen]

I like how this movie is heavily sponsored.

[ookiepiebunn]

damn in Britain is starting to happen...there is 1 camera at 4 persons...u cannot do anything...

[cyeh3]

my god, that would b so annoying, but i guess u'd get used to it.

The bad thing is that this is here/coming. Maybe not the eye scanners but they can do this with RFIDs that would be implanted in your credit cards, clothes, and anything else u'd b carrying.

Fortunately, RFIDs can easily be hacked for less than $10 rite now.

[NDUBZ08]

probly be more advanced than that by 2054....we are advancing our technology at an almost exponential rate...20 years ago like 1% of ppl had cell phones..10 years ago only some ppl had cell phones and they were simple and kinda big..and since 2002 cell phones have gotten smaller and crazier in what they can do...

[TheGothicPerson77]

That Lexus looks like a model of our ASL series.

[TubeZoogy]

Anyone else think that multiple voices shouting your name would drive you into schizophrenia?

[ghostaliaz]

I love Technology but I am not to sure about talking adverts. I already in this day & age record my tv with my dvr so I do not have to watch commercials because they make me sick. Nowdays the shows seem to be not that much & the commercials are way to long & I for one are tired of adverts now, but I do look forward to the future.MAybe we will be able to freeze ourselves & then palce ourselves in the future & have fun(haha).

[dragoons9009]

We can. We just haven't been able to figure out a way to un-freeze ourselves. It's called Cryonics.

[bwildasi]

It shouldn't be that difficult as the inner ear and jawbone make quite a good radio receiver. In the near future you will hear "a little voice" in your head with the ad jingle in tow without anyone else aware of this direct marketing. For personal identity markers human will have to have some sort of beacon. Maybe a the iris or equivalent mark on the forehead or hand will do.

[Dontbustthecrust]

I love it. I can't wait unti comerical s are speaking to me. Next we'll have ads popping up in our dreams.

[dragoons9009]

"Next we'll have ads popping up in our dreams."

Am I supposed to take that seriously?

[EvilAngelEyes]

lol

[dragoons9009]

It's an invasion of privacy though. I honestly don't think it would happen. I want to dream *****my***** dreams - not money-hungry corporations.

[ksb78]

This dream of you chopping up your boss into tiny pieces is brought to you by Guinness; after a tiring day of chopping body parts nothing relaxes you more than nice brewed Guinness.  Have at it!

[JDaJester]

This technology already exists. We are just not sure how to introduce it to society at such an early stage. The face reader cameras that can match someones face to a fugitive on the run is available at places like Washington D.C. THEY ARE WATCHING!

[lordmitchwood]

Thrashaero. God knows what will happen to us all - this shit is really scary. I'll let you into a little secret here, I'm British - and let me tell you this - If those bastards ever tried to take away liberties here - there would be a revolution that you can not even imagine. We've got cameras and stuff, but we won't allow it to go any further

[amartini51]

Not to be rude, but Brits have *way* more cameras than most countries. Sure it's in the name of public safety, but at the cost of privacy.

[EvilAngelEyes]

who says your privacy overrides other people right to be safe. I say if you've nothing to hide, then you shouldn't be afraid, atleast you could live in a safe, that's all that matters. If more cameras can protect the public against criminals, then it's necessary. People are guranteed privacy in public, it's public domain. If you wan't privacy stay at home, the real world is a dangerous place.

[EbolaMuteOne]

Government taking control of our actions is dangerous, that is why we bear arms.

[Freecell82]

Fuck you. Stop being such a coward. As they say, freedom isn't free and the price that we pay for that freedom is our safety.

How many people died in 9/11? 3000. How many people die in the US alone due to car accidents? About 40000. Why are people so panicky about terrorism? We don't take cars away because they cause death. We deal with the fact that they put us at risk. Similarly, we should not take away freedom because it puts us at risk.

[Beelzabubalicious]

I dont think you really understand what freedom is. Freedom is to be free of such intrusions and invasions of privacy, like retinal scans in shopping malls. Being ID' everywhere you go. That is information in the hands of a few who certainly will use that to their advantage, not yours. We are being moved to this via fear mongering through telling people it is for their safety. Dont be a sucker and be scared into giving up your rights. Only a coward is scared into giving us their rights.

[searcher619]

@Beelzabubalicious:

No freedom is the ability to do as you wish as long as you do no harm to others.

[EternallyThuggin]

@Beelzabubalicious cut the shit short and just call it the NWO.

[L0wallyn]

@Beelzabubalicious Does anyone really understand what freedom is? We all have our own ideas, but I don't think there's any one definition that everyone accepts...I mean, why is your freedom more correctly definitive than anyone else's? =p

[evansjaw]

@Beelzabubalicious While I am in total agreement about preserving our privacy/identity, I am of the opinion that the fear mongering does not really take hold until you have a family. Its easy to be brave when you have nothing to loose.

[Beelzabubalicious]

oops sorry I was replying to someone elses comment, not yours

[ParapaDrifter]

that kindof talk makes me feel better.. the only thing worse than a fascist government is an apathetic populace.

[lordmitchwood]

that is horrible - adverts talking to you. It will happen perhaps. I hope i'm dust when it does.

[Thrashaero]

don't count on it.. homelandsecurity org/snapshots/newsletter/2007-­05.htm

'Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism

because it is a merger of State and corporate power.'

[Taurus702B]

Has a 1984 sort of mix to it huh.

[cklaw78]

is this video not working anymore? all i'm seeing is a black background with circling white dots rotating around the middle....

[KobeTheDog]

That seems like an really probable idea of what future advertizing will be like.

It's frieghtening.....because its probably close to how the future will be. ads talking to you

[Gennybindle]

huh

[YMNKZ]

lexus is sucks!, love that american express girl.

[tobie1]

hate the lexus, love the guinness!
