This commercial seriously bothers me

Now, there have been annoying commercials before. In fact, there have been a shitload of them, but still. This commercial is for Liberty Mutual, and its the second ad like this, its got a 'pay it forward' theme of sorts. But here's the thing that bugs me. Watch the video, it starts with a woman in a business suit stopping a pizza guy with headphones on from walking into an intersection. Someone sees this, and we see that person do something nice for a stranger. Another person sees this and does something nice for a stranger etc etc etc. So, presumably, we're following a linear timeline here, one thing happens, causing another thing to happen. However, the last segment in the ad is the exact same thing that it started with, the woman stopping the dude from walking into the intersection. This suggests that there was a giant chain of cause and effect that caused itself, effectively breaking the space-time continuum. This ad defies the laws of physics, and it seriously bothers me.

tl;dr - This ad subtly breaks the space-time continuum, and it makes me angry

The worst one I've ever seen was a swiffer commercial.

Some old mop is being put on trial, and her owner is witnessing, and the prosecutor (for whatever reason) asks her "can you point to the defendant?", she points to the mop; "right *there*" and the crowd gasps.

Spot the mistake.

+1 on Turkish Silvers.

However, I'll take 'em if they come in the Buy 1 Get 1 promotion.

Try Djarum Black Cloves, they taste/smell great. Or if anything just stick with the Marlboro Smooth's since you like them so much

I hate Ditech's "Lost another one to Ditech" commercials. Now that the subprime housing crisis is in full foreclosure mode, I haven't seen much of Ditech lately...

that commercial always makes me laugh...especially when the two klutzes pretending to play basketball get saved by an olympian grocery-carrier.

It definatly is the worst commercial. Most of those new swiffer commercials are stupid.

lol so commercials have to follow the rules of physics now??


Posted by we_R_DNA on Oct-29-2007 08:14:

Physics Laws are not absolute based upon Kant's philosophy. What may happen one day could change the next.

Also, the video could be symbolic of the fractal nature within the universe. So that after a while the fractal repeats.

BTW what is this tranquil music being played in the commercial. ID - ID ?
