Mini Cooper ad

They're showing this cool mini cooper ad repeatedly during the Tennessee v Memphis game tonight.

You must be watching an international satellite broadcast, that's not in English.
PORTE APERTE IL 10 E L'11 NOVEMBRE.

Well they have an English version of that cause I've seen that without the italian (I think) stuff at the end.

Quite creative.

Oops, sorry, I didn't even listen to the youtube one when I saw the familiar images from the US commercial. I don't actually even remember any voice-over...seems like it was just the pin-ball thing.

I saw the ad too, and didn't really get it. Even rewound it and watched it again with no real idea of its message.

It's like a certain* presidential candidate's message. It's all about mood, not substance.

* Non-FHOPolitics self censoring.

The "message", I guess, is that it's a fun car. I just felt the ad was creative and interesting, it got my attention and I remember the car. And isn't the point to get people's attention and make the product memorable? I'm not sure a message is really necessary.

Probably highlighting two things

1. It has double dutch doors

2. it's bigger inside so it can fit the ball.

Will never beat the early 1960's Woody Clubman with cyclops dash & moustache grill. Never.

I think it re-enforces how small the Mini Cooper is. So small, it fits inside a pinball game.
