Christian76 Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 Ok ok, not a real Moc... but i love this advertising :D Maybe too OT ? Sorry :P Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 I'm not sure I understand the point of this topic. Did you intend to post this in the Town Forum? If so, it may be more suited for general discussion with a title that mentions LEGO advertising of some kind. Quote
Christian76 Posted June 1, 2010 Author Posted June 1, 2010 you're right... i was not sure about the right place... I hope some moderator can move this in the right place. *sorry* Quote
TheWarden Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 I don't follow. Maybe it's an inside joke for a certain topic or forum, but I don't get it. I don't even understand why this would be an "Advertisement?" Anyway, it's pretty and nicely done for... an LDD comic, I think it is? Quote
Big Cam Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 I don't get it, but it was done relatively well. Was this done in LDD? Quote
Lord Arjay Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 Well Done, you've succesfully boggled my mind. I don't really see what it is about, if it is a LDD comic then it looks nice. Quote
WesternOutlaw Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 you're right...i was not sure about the right place... I hope some moderator can move this in the right place. *sorry* Help me understand this topic. What is this? I'm tempted just to close it, but if you could expand on why you posted it, I may just move it to the general forum. Quote
The Cobra Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 I guess you all are unfamiliar with a famous beer CM that has been around for a while. I like that as much as I don't like beer! And I do NOT like beer! Quote
Brickthing Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Help me understand this topic. What is this? I'm tempted just to close it, but if you could expand on why you posted it, I may just move it to the general forum. It seems to be a very deep story, that challenges people to consider their relationships with their peers. What is more important, your friends or your love? To find the view that the author presents about this question, first we must know some background to this story. The sports jerseys and scarves worn by Stephanie and her boyfriend suggest a cold sports-loving country. "Go Team!" is a very western European thing to say, and the door-bell ringing with a "Dling Dlong" rules out the US - no door-bell would ring like that in the US. So in this western European country the characters are gathering at an apartment, which is on the bottom floor directly in from the lobby (plants are seen outside the door, which is marked with a the low number 7). They live in a richer part of town, shown by the leather couches, flat-screen TV and very warm heating system (the characters remove their scarves indoors), however the need for an eye-hole in the door suggests that the neighborhood has a slightly less friendly tone to it. The plot of the story is reasonably simple. The owner of the apartment is host to a gathering of his mates, the tan-suited man, the bearded man, the brown-suited man (who brought cake! ), and the man with the sports jersey. However, the sports jersey man's girlfriend (shown by matching clothes) Stephanie came as well. Unfortunately, the guys do not like Stephanie (probably for her over-enthusiasm into the sports jersey man's interests), so she is not allowed to come in. The sports jersey man is posed with the question that this story makes readers consider; "Are you still with us", or will you stay with Stephanie instead? The sight of his friends in the warm apartment, as well as cake and drinks lets the sports jersey man make his choice to spend time with his mates. However, the sports jersey man still loves his girlfriend (a second face is visible on the behind of his head, symbolizing his commitments to the two different groups), and brings her a drink to show that he cares about both his friends and her. So the story does not take a side for whether friends or love is more important, and the readers are forced to decide. What I find most interesting is the fifth panel, which shows a dog with the LDD rotate symbol over it. The dog represents loyalty and friendship, and the rotate symbol suggests uncertainty about which direction the dog should go - towards a man's friends or towards a man's love? Thank you Christian for creating this incredible and truly deep story for us to enjoy and decipher! It's made my day, as I always love a good philosophical question embedded deep within a work of art. I guess you all are unfamiliar with a famous beer CM that has been around for a while. Quote

Clone OPatra Posted June 4, 2010 Posted June 4, 2010 Thank you Christian for creating this incredible and truly deep story for us to enjoy and decipher! It's made my day, as I always love a good philosophical question embedded deep within a work of art. The funny thing is that you actually got almost the entire thing correct! I certainly had no idea what was going until I saw the commercial. Thanks Cobra for linking to that. Quote
