I can't help but wonder how giant, successful corporations who go out and spend millions of dollars researching advertising can come up with such stupid fuckin' commercials. Seriously. They sat around at a big board meeting tossing out ideas, and the one they picked is... this?

That said, part 4 wasn't bad. XD But the other 2 were just retarded. Not to mention obnoxious.

They aren't even sending a good message. They aren't giving customers any reason to want the product. They're just saying "Buy our shit cuz it's been too long since you've used your TV." Basically.

Not creepy at all. On a hardware note, let's hope these things aren't as cheaply made as the rest of Logitech's hardware. Plasticplasticplastic FTL.

It would just jump in the pool, since it's waterproof it seems.

I like my Logitech stuff, been using this keyboard and mouse (both wireless and Logitech) since 2003 and they work perfectly, this is with MANY drops and falls and 3 moves.

I had cable. Back then, I paid for lots of channels wich had nothing interesting.
For the really interesting tings, I was supossed to pay even more.

I forgot about TV.

Whatever they're trying to do here, it doesn't work, creepy or not.

The ads were freakin' hilarious. Saw this post this morning but wanted to see AD 3. Found it after work :) AD 4 is still my favorite :)

But has anyone actually looked on the Logitech website to what this thing actually does? Seems like a device for the uninitiated about hooking up your computer to your TV :)

You mean like a pencil? Pencils are solid objects.

TV misses you? That's BS.
TV is on its last leg in front of the internet as the primary purveyor or entertainment.
