iPhone Video Comercials

Welcome to the future! Video calls are now possible. And even better, they are possible from a device that you can hold in your hand...either one of them. Apple is making very touching commercials for their new iPhone video calling. Showing a new father introducing his father to his first grandchild. First off, why wasn't this new Grandfather in town to be with his son as he entered fatherhood? Hey Apple, how about this for a slogan: the New iPhone, for grandfathers-to-be that kind of care.

One thing that these commercials fail to mention is that much more often than being able to give good news to someone far away face to face, the new video calling will just catch you in a lie. Isn't that what is so great about the cell phone? People don't know where you are or who is around you provided it or they are quiet.

How about this for an ad. A boyfriend is talking to his girlfriend who is out of town for the weekend. As they are talking about how in love they are and making cute faces at one another a girl walks by in the background.

Girl: Sweetypuff! Who was that?

Guy: (looking alarmed) What?

Girl: Who was that in the background?

Guy: There is no one here, what are you talking about?

Girl: I saw someone move back there.

Guy: Must be the dog.

Girl: That was no dog.

Guy: Honey, on here a dog could easily look like a person, the screen is so small.

Girl: That was a person...a woman. And we don't even have a dog!

Guy: Oh her? OH...she is the plumber.

Girl: That was no plumber.

Guy: What? Women can't be plumbers? Get out of the stone age Taryn! Its 2010!

Girl: Oh yeah? Then why is the plumber wearing your shirt and ONLY your shirt?

Guy: Oh...hey...going through a tunnel...might lose....

Where is that commercial, Apple?
