wow, feather masks, chicks in Forever 21 lingerie and a scene from my 1992 prom. How innovative. I think Lady Gaga just felt the need to change her tampon.

On Liveblogging the Friskies "Adventureland" Commercial
I won't be buying Friskies either, I don't even like cats, but am making a point at whether viewers like it or not, the more everyone is blogging it, they are giving corporate conglomerate Friskies exactly what they want- a buzz spreading free advertising. And, no, it's not about ART. It's about the unintelligent commentary that our generation seems to have at anything commercial, yet indie IS the new commercial darling. I have no problem against commercial criticism, just say something, ANYTHING, intellectual.
(hence your compelling comment suggesting that I eat psychEdelic-yes, try a dictionary-cat food. I follow an organic raw diet.)
I was trying to say that just because it's a silly commercial about cat food doesn't mean that creative ideas and persons weren't involved in the development.
Speaking of development, or lack there of, how is that dying city of Buffalo doing these days?

Oh, hipsters are cute when they're complaining. Having worked in advertising as a creative for many years, i thought this was a cool and creative little commercial. It's not real, just like OZ wasn't real, or Alice in Wonderland, or The Neverending story. It's called an imagination. (try stepping away from the Williamsburg starter kit at Urban Outfitters for a change). It's called pretend (much like hipsters "pretend"- we all know those aren't real prescription Urkel glasses.) Had you done any research (I know, that would actually take having an attention span of more that 3 seconds) you would have found that this was done by a very talented multi-media team out of London, the same responsible for many award winning commercials, music videos, and documentaries. The animation team for this spot was the same team on the Beatles Rock Band. Yes, we all can balk at the idea of proving there can be creativity in product consumerism, but it takes a huge team of artists, film production crews, animators, CGI artists, songwriters, composers, musicians, singers, editors, executives and millions of dollars in production and media buyouts to get something like this made. A commercial of this caliber can take 6-8 months from start to finish. So while blogging is fun and somewhat entertaining, some of us are actually out there doing real shit-which leaves those who have all the time in the world to sit and write not so witty commentaries about other people who are actually doing real shit. And, in this case, bloggers are giving Friskies exactly what they want- free advertising with out having to spend additional money!!! Too bad you're not a legitimate platform for advertisement, you could've made 5-6 figures playing this commercial on your station if you were. In any event, the banter is still annoyingly cute. Kudos.

One should only be so lucky. I think something that special is a once in a lifetime event.
