I find that American style ad's have an underlining fakeness to them, its hard to put my finger on it. I'm assuming its just a cultural difference being from New Zealand but some ad's from the States just grate me the wrong way. These Apple ad's are particularly bad in this respect.

That's how I feel when I see ads from other countries other than the US. These ads reminds me a little bit of them.

It's because they're actors with pearl-perfect teeth, perfectly styled hair, perfect professional makeup and they are in a Hollywood perfect world where everything is spotless and organized 'just so'. It kind of makes things feel like a dream. The reality of life in the US is a hilarious smack in the face compared to the Hollywood advertised US we see on TV/Movies

As an American I don't find this feeling foreign at all. I would be interested to find out whether this was more of a personality or a nationality thing (and whether it couldn't be controlled by using different accents with the same script, etc.)
