Coming Soon... TV Ad, What is it?

obliviousgrudge

Theres an ad on TV all the time, it just shows a computer mouse and ''Coming Soon...'' written below.

Anyone know what its about?

What channel did you see it on

obliviousgrudge

Sky Sports, TV3, Living, RTE 2 I've definitley seen it on.

Damn! i just logged onto boards hoping the answer to this very question would be here...:rolleyes:

I seen this aswell, I think its on the sky channels where i saw it. The only thing I can think of is that you can watch sky online but I don't think you can use the interact stuff via the red button on it to view different shows and stuff. Maybe I'm completely wrong in thinking this and that you can already do this. Just the fact its a mouse and its a red light flashing has me thinking thats what its advertising.

I've seen it on TV3 most of the time. And the voiceover is a guy who announces on TV3 all the time, so I thought it was some TV show.

But I'm aware the guy could be doing voice-over work for some other company as well.

No idea...

Why would it be on TV3 though

Speedsie

Really no idea why it's on TV3 - I've only seen the ad on Sky.

Possibly something to do with Freeview in Ireland, the people in the Broadcasting forum might know about that

Just saw this in another thread:

Seems to be about Harvey Norman, but why the RTE page?

aidan_walsh

Its the Millenium Clock all over again.

The clock just sank, that one is just going haywire.

The site is still live and spinning, but the banner has changed to a link to Harvey Norman. Looks like RTE are now in the business of full page adverts on their website.

It's just a relaunched website for Harvey Norman, Hardly Normal, Hardly Norman, Harvey Wallbanger, Wallbanger Hardly, Hardly Wallbanger etc.

WTF? Harvey Norman..........thye must've paid some price for advertising. The ad was placed in The Star last wee kas well for a few dyas. Just showed a pic of the mouse and "Coming Soon" above it.

What a let down, Go back to OZ Harvey!

You can't actually buy anything on that HardyNormal website - just look at stuff !!

Must say, voice overs on ads usually annoy me at the best of times but this one takes the biscuit

I want to tear my ears off every time I hear the stupid voice in this ad

obliviousgrudge

TBH I actually like the Harvey Norman ads.

But I think this campaign was terrible, I was expecting some big new TV show or something.

The campaign was highly successful. It spawned this thread, which in turn got people posting, which was viewed 942 times.

They succeeded in what they wanted to to do, which was build a hype.

^ yup....much like Fake Street will be a hit due to the negativity hype.
