Making of Palm Pre Ad 'Flow'

Chinese culture is not a minority culture. This ain't elivis playing rock and roll. They are chinese people doing a chinese art. If you think there is some western egocirtism by having the one person that stands out be a white girl among 1000 uniformed chinese. I understand. Hell, the opening of the Beijing oylpics made a lot people fell uneasy. But it made a lot others feel proud. But to call this "CLASSIC culture appropriation" is gross misuse of the term. Read what it actually means.

Ninety five percent of the viewers of this advertisement would, too, be unfamiliar with shaolin.

This is CLASSIC cultural appropriation, end of story.

I KNOW, RIGHT?! The right car campaign can bring me to tears. We built excitement, indeed!

Sometimes I think advertising is more important than any other art form. Maybe even more important than medicine since that only helps us when we're sick, while advertising tells us what to do ALL THE TIME. Way more important!  What would you rather have, a pro-active branding paradigm or a digitized fluorescein angiogram? PSH, NO CONTEST.

I hope aliens see our advertising first.
