See Coca-Cola's new campaign. I believe its something like: "happiness in a bottle".<br /><br />Just tell me how good the new Blackberry is.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242494503065871749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2988623886950340350.post-43798196309191283122009-11-09T21:52:41.418-05:002009-11-09T21:52:41.418-05:00"Getting Better" is definitely not the s..."Getting Better" is definitely not the song that "All You Need is Love" is and Phillips is not the company that Blackberry is.

This has nothing to do with sharing, mate.<br /><br />I didn't mind when Phillips used "Getting Better". <br /><br />But a company/product that feeds into people's egocentrism ironically using a song about love is outrageous. The cover in and of itself is awful, and it's blasphemous, really.Mimihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17312374685574987405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2988623886950340350.post-46274803115703226992009-10-18T21:18:43.298-04:002009-10-18T21:18:43.298-04:00I'm 49 years old and I actually like that thes...I'm 49 years old and I actually like that these songs from my youth are being covered and used in ads. Kids hear a tune they like and then search out the original. It helps keep the original tunes alive.

The moment I saw this commercial my first thought was: "Paul and Ringo must have indigestion; Harrison and Lennon must be turning over in their graves!"

It is quite annoying to have our personal narratives toyed with over fascinating items like hamburgers and laundry soap. Please, someone bring back the jingle. Jingles make sense. Get one stuck in your head and you probably remember the product. Get a pop song stuck in your head and you might be remembering the first time you did 'it.'Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
