I got a feeling during the one episode I tried to watch, when they called in the Dell Dude to help fill up the hour along with their chesty-chatter gals and their small handful of ads, that they were in trouble.
But good news for URL squatters showing up a bit late to the game - As of 8:30am CST, firebland.com was still available!
Being a Kinko's graveyarder back in the day, this spot rings true a little bit more than some of you might realize. Another favorite was trying to explain to someone why we couldn't send a two-sided fax "to cut down on paper" or have their faxed job application come out on the other side of the phone line printed on white linen resume paper.
I'm diggin' this new Chester and more mischievous, adult direction. I've had orange-stained fingertips on and off since the early 80s, and have been more than a little disappointed in their run-of-the-mill Chicago-cereal-style efforts aimed at kids. With the kid stuff, you could easily swap Chester out with Lucky the Leprechaun, Toucan Sam, Ronald McDonald, Chuck E. Cheese, Cap'n Crunch, Wilford Brimley, the Trix Rabbit, Sonny the Cuckoo Bird, etc. etc. and have pretty much the same commercial.
This I like. And it takes a different direction than back when Tony the Tiger and Frosted Flakes grew up for a while, although that was pretty good too.
With our office vending machine, Cheetos are always the first to sell out. I'm assuming that this phenomenon happens elsewhere as well. Good to see that somebody in marketing noticed.
I guess we'll see what role it plays (if any) in the upcoming movie, Cloverfield. The spot has been sporadically running off-hours on select cable nets as an actual commercial. And yes, it has its own website with a .jp domain even.
Thanks to Abrams, Slusho is poised to become the next Smeat - the infamously fictitious recurring product seemingly found only in television shows and movies.
And rumour has it that Slusho is going to be made into a real product, kind of like Idiocracy's Brawndo.
I guess we'll see, eh?
