There is something intensely frustrating about being EXCITED for a new Sony Bravia commercial. Mostly because it makes me feel like AN ASSHOLE. I mean, Jesus, these are ads for televisions. Televisions! I already have a television! And yet, AND YET, they are consistently some of the most visually captivating videos around, with the colors, and the surprises, and always with the gentle strains of indie rock so popular among the young ladies with the asymmetrical haircuts and the boys wearing the young ladies’ jeans. I’ve watched the Jose Gonzales-soundtracked bouncing balls Bravia commercial a dozen times. A DOZEN TIMES. I would kill myself, but then I would never see THE BRILLIANT COLORS AND VISUAL IMAGINATION OF ANOTHER TELEVISION COMMERCIAL FROM A COMPANY THAT FOR AS MUCH AS I KNOW USES SWEATSHOP LABOR. Do they? Sony could literally use human blood to power their ultrathin HDTVs and I would still be like “Did you see the new Bravia commercial? Pretty sweet.”

Surely there must be something out there that’s better than this. I am ashamed of how much I respond to these commercials. And you know what shame means.































Pretty colors.
But I see your point. I feel that my body/brain is betraying me when it responds to these ads or those gacky romantic comedy previews. I have no intention of buying a sony tv or watching the horrible movie, and yet I still get chills. It’s just wrong.
No Gabe!!! No Harakiri for a Sony commercial. I think someone’s been watching too many Bushido Documentaries…
but, I also completely agree with you about the shame.
Just remember, left to right- not right to left.
i felt the same way about boku commercials.

Gabe, were you expecting us to miss the fact that you pulled this commercial off the kanYeWest blog?
It’s called an Easter egg for the superfans.
