Palm’s ad agency ‘loves that you’re creeped out’ by new TV spots
I saw one of these ads for the first time a few days ago, and I have to admit I stop to watch them every time I see them.
I really have no idea what Palm is trying to do here but the creepy pale girl rambling on about seemingly nothing that eventually turns into a Palm-Pre ad interests the the same part of me that fell in love with Twin Peaks and Pushing Daisys.
Engadget compares the commercials to the failed Bill Gates and Jerry Seinfeld ads that Microsoft did. I don’t know if its the same type of thing or not, because I actually liked those too, and they did the same thing that these ads are doing, which is getting people to talk about you or your product.
I say keep it up Palm, this might be enough to distract us from the fact that you still have no apps in your app store. ;-)
