I think its shit to be honest.
The balls was good, the paint was ok, the bunnies was hopefully the last. But friggin foam !!!
Bunch of self-indulgent wankers.

Still not seen it on TV, maybe I spend too much time online?

I like this one. I’ve seen it for the first time here and its quite beautiful, but i have a feeling its going to start annoying me when it gets overplayed. Let this be the last one Sony. Its becoming a bit monotonous

Reminds me of the end of Ghostbusters when the giant Stay Puft man explodes

I think I’d have preferred it if they had released a colossal tide of molten faeces onto the streets of a non-territory specific city. Watching people run away in terror whilst simultaneously trying to film the wave of oncoming filth with their Sony Handycam/Cybershot/whatever would be far more entertaining and may make me buy their products.

Oh frigging hell this is the Fallon at it again. Seriously, they are just taking their client’s money and having the advertising equivalent of a self-indulgent wank.

Don’t hold back now Johnny, if you don’t like the advert, just say so…

I just hate the gut-wrenchingly pretentious theme to a lot of adverts these days. I think I preferred it when technology was sold as “By this toy and girls will want to have sex with you”. Here it’s as if you’re supposed to watch the advert and say “Oooh look how they’ve subverted the souless modern cityscape and made everyone remember what fun was like. Look how black and white, young and old, male and female are brought together in one moment of childlike wonder”

Don’t even get me started on that bloody gorilla either, if I hear one more person who fancies themself as an art critic tell me how amazing it is to set themselves free from tradiitional advertising I’m going to void my colon into their mouth.

I know for a fact that the bosses of Sony and Saatchi & Saachi executives are avid readers.

I await the first week of May with baited breath!

Much better, Gina!

No, it’s not being shown on UK TV until the first week of May.

That’s why this online negative Buzz is going to have such a devastating effect on the boys at Sony

I’ve revised my last comment, please accept this instead:

What a load of utter bollocks!! It’s the worst advert, in the history of the universe, like, ever!!

(I still haven’t seen it on tv actually, have they taken it off?)

Come on, Gina, that’s not the spirit.

We’re trying to generate a negative online buzz!

I think it’s a bit harsh, there are many worse adverts than this around. It’s not brilliant either, mind, and I can’t help but wonder what it actually says about Sony products – our cameras are so good you can photograph foam with them?

Not seen so much foam since my plane was involved in an emergency landing at Heathrow.

Sony Planning Meeting:

“So, we need ideas for a new Sony ad. Any suggestions?”

“Well the last few times we’ve released loads of….multicoloured stuff on the streets of a city, balls, paint, plasticene rabbits. Why don’t we continue the theme. How about Foam?”

“But loads of people have seen lots of foam in one place at one time, it hardly has the Wow factor does it? Also it’s not *strictly* multicoloured”

“Ahh who cares, let’s just go down the pub”
