I don’t think that ‘just because it is CGI, its good’ has ever been an absolute statement about commercials… but the latest CGI commercials that I’ve seen (I’m watching the Colts/Chiefs game in Indiana now) are just stupid. Stupid. Stewpid. Dumb. Can we dump the CGI == good assumption marketing folks? I love good, creative writing that causes people to pay attention, laugh, and consider the message – it is what makes life’s communication interesting. These commercials communicate to me that marketing departments at major fortune 500 companies are disconnected with reality or out of ideas.
I blame the writers strike. 😉
