"Three" adverts...

[shiato storm]

...why are the three adverts always showng the little guys they use getting ripped apart/disfigured/squashed/killed etc. ? i can't quite see what they're getting at, if I buy one of their phones I will succumb the same painful and horrific fate, with an electronic backing music playing?

[Konan555]

Goal 1 of advertising complete.

or being arrested for listening to music...

I can't figure it either. I think it's a 'we love to kill and maim each other' message...

must kill

must maim...

total waste of space advert

all adverts are a waste of space and time! SUX!

[EvilMunky]

they suck - and make me not want a 3 phone!

[Kezzer]

All their adverts are designed to make it look as if they like music, although they have a different approach to it

[shiato storm]

...by ripping boy band hearts out, tearing apart manson listeners or running over r&b listeners?
thats good marketing...

[Trippledence]

They stick in your mind, else you wouldnt of made a thread, so as konan says, its a spot on advert.

I think there quite violent, however. And not so sure about them as far as kids are conserned. I didn't think they could get away with animated violence any more.

[Kumagoro]

basically its a fake form of engrish. i.e a very bad parody of what they think japanese people
and stuff are like.

[Dav0s]

was it the 3 advert that had the japenese girl with the remarkably huge hands playing basketball?

i had nightmares about that

[Kumagoro]

That was the three one she wasnt japanese, probably korean from the sound of it.

The ads take the mickey out of what they actually portray... such as the boy band one...

I perosnally think 3 are ripping off NVIDIA's 'The Way Its Meant To Be Played' logo... dunno why its just reminds me of it... or is it just I've been playing too many games of late?

[Funkstar]

never mind the adverts, i don't see the point in 3 at all.

Anyone actually use 3G services? no-one i know has used it for anything other than going "look at this!" for two minutes in the pub

no, because nVidia's logo doesn't always apply to the game you're actually playing...oh, wait that may apply to 3 too...
