Literalists hate this ad. "Where's the product?" "Where's the demo. of the gaming experience?" "How does this relate to Microsoft xBox 360?" "This doesn't make sense!" The twentysomething kids get it, but they don't always like it. I do, but more for the cinematic æsthetic than its capitalistic f{x}. I think it's quite clever in how it creates a simple message, which is quite evovative. The use of this version of The Teddy Bear's Picnic {1932} sets an interesting tone. "Jump in." Indeed. I really think I like this so much, since I think this is how I feel about the blogs here. So, yeah, "Jump in!"
If you go out in the woods today
You're sure of a big surprise.
If you go out in the woods today
You'd better go in disguise.
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic.
Picnic time for teddy bears,
The little teddy bears are having a lovely time today.
Watch them, catch them unawares,
And see them picnic on their holiday.
See them gaily dance about.
They love to play and shout.
And never have any cares.
At six o'clock their mommies and daddies
Will take them home to bed
Because they're tired little teddy bears.
If you go out in the woods today,
You'd better not go alone.
It's lovely out in the woods today,
But safer to stay at home.
For every bear that ever there was
Will gather there for certain, because
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic
CHORUS
Every teddy bear, that's been good
Is sure of a treat today
There's lots of wonderful things to eat
And wonderful games to play
Beneath the trees, where nobody sees
They'll hide and seek as long as they please
Today's the day the teddy bears have their picnic
CHORUS
