Google's Superbowl Ad

| No Comments | No TrackBacks

Two or three good things (depending on how you feel about the Saints) coming out of La Grande Soupière, the Soup Bowl in Miami. Referring of course to the Parisian Love ad from Google.

You'll notice the ad needs no catchy muslc, artwork or flashy tricks to tell its story. There's no gimmick, no celebrity endorsement, no photoshopped images, no dubbed voices. It's the simplest of stories: guy gets girl. Even shows you that you don't have to know how to spell Louvre. Chocolat, oui; freedom fries, nah.
