Sony's latest Bravia ad walks like an Egyptian

by Caroline McCarthy

First bouncy balls, then geysers, then bunnies, and now Egypt's pyramids--Sony's rainbow-colored Bravia television ads are just about as Craveable as they get. Now here's a new one, created for the company's Egyptian market, featuring colorful spools of thread unwinding their way down Pharaoh-commissioned ruins.

It's inherently not quite as cool as the San Francisco bouncy balls because the shots of zillions of spools of thread cascading down a side of the Great Pyramid were clearly computer-generated, but it's still pretty. And that's what counts, right?

$10 says Sony does a Bravia ad involving China next.

Disgusting?

Not sure why....but if this *isn't* computer generated....and they actually rolled all that down the pyramid. I'm disgusted. It's a world heritage site...a temple and burial ground. Not some f***ing ad-exec's creative latrine.
