Nothing about the message, but how do you make this kind of video?

I thought it was way good! It's true, no one needs those trust falls, we just need to communicate to each other.

I just have to say one thing more about this ad. From a merely professional point of view, how does it improve your message by putting down your competition in a very belittling way? Sounds like you need to practice what you preach about managing your stories...

[marshellebackes1]

Personally, I found the message rather insulting. It smacks of bigotry to assert that there are no other equally productive ways of learning how to communicate, trust falls and all. This ad sounds more like a fundamentalist religion for corporate America.

Superb. But why did it need translating/ subtitles?!

Or is that the point of the advert - people don't know how to communicate anymore and its got so bad they can't understand American accents!

Excellent viral video. I will walk over to someones cubicle and tell them about it. Then they'll ask me why I couldn't just email/ instant message it / twitter it over. You can't win :)

I came to this from the Vitalsmarts website so I knew it was an advert before I started watching it. Even so, it was pretty amusing and oh SO true!
