HelloFriend

I am thoroughly annoyed at the strange and highly unusual (with no kind of punch or hint to what it is all about) commercials titled

HelloFriend

I truly believe it is a marketing ploy that will lead up to the Superbowl with a reveal as to exactly what it is, whose only concurrent guise is to harvest a curious ???BUZZ??? from the world.  Well, they certainly have my attention.  Let’s hope it’s something good.

Eerie thing though, there’s strange stillness in most of the videos and there is an awkward almost insidious-kind of whistling at the end of the commercials with a quinky dink smile underneath the O in hellO and f for friend.

What’s more uncomfortable about this type of marketing is the seeding and how it’s planted.  We watch t.v. and have no idea of what the stations will play next, which commercials, which foods we should want to crave.  It’s programming and at the same time deprogramming of sorts.  Flashing skinny girls and fancy cars, bad credit repair loan bailouts, flashy watches and incredulous sized meals as being “Normal” and subliminally setting a standard that we unsuspectingly had no rights to rebuke before-hand. 

Ambushing is not cool.

We cannot UNSEE what we have seen and they know this.  Are we playing roulette with t.v.?  Violation by Television I say!
