Apparently, I'm the one person on the planet who actually enjoyed the ads. If they had focused on their products I probably would have turned the channel. Nike doesn't have to talk about how great their gear performs, they simply create a mood. Now, you could argue the Seinfeld ads were a little too Mars Blackmon-SpikeLee-jokey and not enough Witness-Lebron-Inspiring, but at least they didn't hit you over the head with Vista. And it allowed them to poke fun at themselves a bit - break down the big corporate slow-moving behemoth image.
- cake 18y agoNot the only one, I liked them too. I was very surprised to see and didn't liked them first. Afterwards I thought they were great because they were not focused on the product as you're saying. Plus Bill Gates making fun of himself... you wouldn't see many CEOs doing that (even Steve Jobs!). The article doesn't add much value to what we already know about those ads.
- michael_dorfman 18y agoHear, hear. Just to see Bill Gates reading from "Code Complete" to that kid was worth the whole thing....
