You Look Like You Need a Guinness

prestidigital writes "This is a great fictional advertisement (high bandwidth) for Guinness. I say "fictional" because it is from the movie Minority Report. You may recall that Steven Spielberg is known for heavy branding in movies ala the opening scenes from Back to the Future (Burger King and Pepsi plastered all over). Well, apparently he has taken it a step further by weaving it into the very fabric of the plot in Minority Report. Cool ads if you can afford to wait for them. Lexus is good."

The best beer in the world. Really beats american beer, thats to much like making love in a canoe.

(Fucking close to water)

Man, that's slow

[Anonymous Coward]

I've had 3 Guinesses this morning in the same time it took that clip to load. And that that includes settle time. ;->

Oh, so horribly worng...

Going into the store with you significant other...

"Ah! Joe Johansen! Good to see you again! We just received a new batch of KY in butterscotch, your favorite flavor, according the Basking Robbins!

We know you normally buy KY down at Big Al's Porn Shoppe on 32nd, but this store is 4 blocks closer to your home, and we know how awkward it is to get those 50 gallon drums home on the public slideway! Why not have one of our friendly clerks help you out to your car with one of the store's hand-trucks? Remember, we provide free curb service, where Big Al's doesn't!

How is Millie, your Yak, by the way? Has the infection she had responded to the Penicillin you purchased two weeks ago from Bob's Veterinary Supply? Is she still down in U-Store-It Storage Unit #15? We have a co-marketing agreement with U-Store-It, where if you buy from us today, you will get 5% off your next month's rent!

..."

[and on and on...]

Uh, no thank you!

Advertising that knows you could be bad

[totallygeek]

Walking into a hotel:

Fourth wife this week, sir?

Walking into a bookstore:

Sorry sir, we are out of the magazine Barely Legal

But, it might be neat to have tailored banner ads online. I mean, I never want to go hunting or fishing, so don't show me anything outdoorsy, but would like to see something regarding computer programming, but not games.

And on Monday morning, advertisers will get busy

"We need personalized ads, like Minority Report. And we need them now. I want ads like that in our malls by next year!"

Re:my impression

[Tetsu no Chef]

The first ad to catch my eye, was Aquafina. I guess they're still packaging aquafina water in 2054 with the same package design and logo.

Dude... that was Aquafina Classic. They're just cashing in on the nostalgia.

:)

slashdot needs a "scary" moderation

[anticypher]

You may be at +5 funny, but knowing some scummy marketers in my lifetime, I'd moderate this as +5 "frighteningly close to reality".

Butterscotch is not my favourite flavour
