On: New Google ad strategy: 10 minutes of a guy saying "pizza"

[djacobs]

I wish I was amused. This is what you get when you conscript unwilling programmers into video advertising.

In programming, the difference between

    5.times { say 'pizza' }

and

    200.times { say 'pizza' }

is, what, an order of magnitude or so off. What's the big deal? Fix the bug later.

In advertising, the difference is astronomical. I'd say this is nearly unwatchable, and I'm a fan of quirky humor.

It is very unwatchable, but it is obvious they don't expect most to watch it all the way through in my opinion. They start breaking the pattern and doing subjokes the longer you watch.
