Facebook has elected to promote their new Home operating system/home screen/whole phone invasion via a series of YouTube ads, which they no doubt hope will “go viral”.
Zuckerberg’s company started off on the wrong foot with the videos, releasing two videos that were bizarre, to the point of being unsettling.
Their most current video is more on point in terms of being able to understand the message – the only problem is that that message has been roundly rejected by The People of The Internet.
The advert, titled “Dinner” is a play on a typical family dinner at a dining room table. On older relative begins to tell the table a story related to the purchasing of cat food, or a similar product.
A young woman at the table is not interested in affording the older relative an kind of respect, and therefore dives under the table to begin rifling through her Facebook feed on her phone.
Forbes, who reviewed the advertisement, said “Facebook Home makes it a whole lot easier to be rude to your family and in-the-flesh friends, who are often, yeah, so boring to a cool person like you.”
Here’s one of their earlier commercials called “Aeroplane.”
