the question is: "does she come with a tablet?"

They should've kept the commercial. Would've been great for a Super Bowl too.

Looks like something targeting Japanese business men. Won't work on me. (Female.) Did no one review these before they turned them loose?

And "I have seen far worse commericials" is not praise. And it is "commercials".

They are implying that there's boobies in their tablets. Just a little reminder that you can watch porn on the tablet. Also don't forget that sex sells.

Not as sleazy as the Hardee's commercials with Paris Hilton or Kate Upton. Both awesome, btw.

There was a tablet in the ad?

21. Jimstar posted on 09 Jul 2012, 18:38 0 0

"Are you with us on the weirdness of such advertizing?"
Hell No! For starters, what's "weird" about it? I hope you're not one of those weirdos who's uncomfortable with the human body...
Maybe I don't wanna see 50 super-dry ads involving a hand and a disembodied voice!
This has everything, eye-candy, information, humor, and eye-candy! Whats not to like?

if i were the tablet, i'd be stressful too with people swinging me around, touching, poking, typing and whatnot.... i need a release, and lucy gives me that with me between her breast...
