Rubik’s vs. PlayStation
Check out this cool commercial. I think it’s visually very stunning, however, if the goal is to make the Rubik’s Cube seem primitive compared to a PlayStation (seemingly not a very difficult task, right?), then I think the ad fails miserably. In fact, in this “Matrix like” battle one might conceive the nerdy 80′s Rubik’s Cube, quite ahead of it’s time, and a worthy opponent to Sony’s modern marvel. The cube’s “moves” are certainly more impressive! I wonder if the advertising executive who approved this, got fired after people realized that the ad sends a mixed message. Maybe the cube wasn’t even defeated? Maybe it “dispersed into the universe” only to regain its power and return some day. LOL, OK, time to stop, I’m getting loopy! It’s just a freakin commercial not Nietzsche!

Hey, I dig the new look. Very Apple, and they know about interface design ;) The commercial is pretty, but what does it mean? Is the playstation solving and blowing up the rubiks cube with telepathy?
