The comercials for the AotC DVD release.

Post by Anarchist Bunny »

Has anyone eles seen these horrible ads for the AotC DVD? It's shows alot of the Yoda/Taranus fight with the phrase "WHO DA MAN?" "YODA MAN!" like their trying to sell some sort of straight to video Disney piece of shit. The radio ads are just as bad, but I don't exactly remember how they went at this moment.

Yeah, they're horrible. Just plain badly cliched and dumb! Further evidence of the dumbing of America of you ask me.

you know, the first time I heard the commercial, I nearly fell out of my chair. Who the fuck gave them permission to be stupid? Good fucking god, don't sully it even more than it already has been.

They're probably at starwars.com. They usually put them up.

Sad that I live in a country with an intelligence average that is decreasing continuously. Us smart people are the only ones keeping it from becoming exponential degradation.

I can feel the US' sudden collapse coming around within the next two centuries.

A period of growth, a period of bust, a period of growth, and period of bust... and on goes the cycle.

One lady sued a supermarket cause a bag of pork (mall bag) fell off a shelf and hit her neck. Her reason: Bag caused spinal damage.

A fat man sued McDonald's for making him obese.

The whole deal with the fires going on in the midwest and the environmentalists.



I'm sure there's more but those are some prominent examples I can think of.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

Now, now the continued degradation of the American people works in benefit for me when I use my idiot death beam as it turns them into useful protien like paste ala Soylent Green thus solving the burgeoning Population and food problems.

The thing that gets me is that I see the commercial once and it says "get your copy today!" The next time I see it, it's saying, "In stores November 17th!" Gees, quit jerking me around.

Since when did marketing and intelligence ever had anything to do with each other :D Lets face it marketing types have to justify their jobs by thinking up some useless bullshit to so call "describe" their products. Take Nike for example. But anyways, it's not that the commercial was utterly stupid, but it was the voiceover. " Yoda man", what kind of dumb ass thought that up. If it just had Yoda and Dooku duking it out with just the normal sound effects and music, then next it shows that it's coming out on November 17th, I would have been satisfied with that.

I still haven't seen it, but it honest-to-God sounds like something from one of those retarded Wal-Mart DVD ads.

God, those really suck.

I just saw it.

Honestly, it wasn't as bad as I thought. Certainly better that those Wal-Mart ads.

I thought it was going to be like those cinema ads where they talk to people outside of the theatre after they watched the movie.

A bit tounge-in-cheek, but still pretty lame.
