Gay Commercial: Jawbone

[reviews_and_ramblings]

Jawbone blue tooth TV commercial. At a sports bar was a REAL rugby team and two actors Pete & Randy. Only the camera crew (and of course Pete & Randy) knew about "the kiss." The reactions that you see on those players faces are REAL!! Directed by Sam Bayer, who is always stunning us visually with his work, from Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" to recent Green Day work, he is still one of the best directors of this generation.

But if I was one of the woman, I would prefer to be aware of what happened around me! It was a show to not miss... even if I don't understand too much the meaning of the spot... it means that two men kissing are noising? Don't know if I agree...

Oh, no, now you are too drastic :-) I was wondering if the meaning is that two men kissing are noising, or maybe "makes" noise, meaning something not in the normal "loud" environment of a sport bar... but to "eliminate" them? Naaah, too drastic :-)

so far as I can see, it meant no matter how distracting the situation is, the phone allows you to concentrate.

I thought it was a lovely way to show 'real' men can be gay too.

Yes, that was the term, distraction. I believe the means is that the situation is distracting but with that phone you don't realize it. Elisa

I think that's it - it cancels out distraction.

I thought it was a great excuse to have men kissing and taking off their shirts! :)

Oh yes, every excuse is good to see a kiss like that :-)

I had to Google that ad, and I just found a link to a whole bunch of gay-themed commercials! Scroll down this page (http://www.realjock.com/profile/161382/?v=aMp4QTh7R70) to "Videos." I love the commercial for chocolate, and the Dolce & Gabbana one for watches..
