Now a TV spot that really wouldn't make sense were if the US/Canadian kids were replaced by Amish kids & they were interacting w/Chinese kids. Everybody knows the Amish don't use electricity of any kind. So we knew that idea for an ad would be a total dud.
@auriciangelescu That still doesn't answer the question. What's the point of it? Looks like an American vs Chinese elementary student academic standoff via 2 teletron screens. You know, who's better, the US or China, so now they have to drag their children in this debate. WTF???
So the takeaway from this is that Cisco will help me disconnect from the farms, and artificially connect with somebody in China?
Why do kids need to digitally interact with kids in China? There are kids down the street - whose lives will be, or should be, significantly more intertwined with theirs than the Chinese kid.
In other words, no one has yet convinced me of the benefit of global human interaction at the push of a button. What about my neighbors?
How come it's daylight in Canada and China at the same time? It's like the "Doctor is in" ad, where it's daylight in Copenhagen and Canada at the same time.
I WASN'T FAMILIAR WITH ELLEN PAGE TILL I SAW THE CISCO COMMERCIALS ON TV. AFTER SEEING THEM QUITE A BIT, I DECIDED THAT THE ACTRESS MIGHT BE SOMEONE FAMOUS, AND SO I LOOKED UP THE COMMERCIALS. BEFORE I FOUND THE COMMERCIALS ON YOUTUBE, I HADN'T NOTICED THE NOVA SCOTIA STUFF IN THE COMMERCIALS.
i keep trying to figure out what the chinese kids and nova scotian kids are saying to each other. i can't understand a single word. maybe it's just gibberish.

Ellen Page is a cutie...but one thing about this commercial drives me nuts...the time zone is outta whack. Unless the kids in Asia go to night school, this commercial makes no dang sense....
I asked myself, "How is it possible that children in Nova Scotia are in class at the same time as children in any part of China?" Then I saw that Beijing is 23 hours ahead of Halifax, so I guess it is possible to do really this.
@Romulus47plus1 the right side of the room where the chinese kids are sitting shows what might be a window full of sunlight, and yet it's possible that it's light from a lamp.---------------- i'll try to give cisco the benefit of the doubt, so they won't track me down and do something nasty. lol
The sun is out in America and China at the same time.... There's a 13 hour time difference... Cisco, you stupid...

I honestly don't get the concept of this commercial? What's it supposed to mean? What's Chinese pupils have to do w/this? Really?!
Ellen Page reminds me of Christina Ricci. Ellen is far more talented though.
