I love the feel of this commercial but the first time I saw it on TV I got this horrible feeling of backlash. I was really into it and thought, “Wow, this is surprisingly deep for a television commercial” (Albeit, the phrases weren’t new, but definitely worth pondering again) Then I saw the LV fading in at the end and I audibly said, “NO, Agghh” when I saw what it was for. I just thought, “This message could have been used for so much more.” Still I liked the vibe, and while it won’t be coercing me to purchase LV bags, I whole heartedly agree that some “being” time would be an excellent thing this week.

(I’ll have to check out some Neruda. The name was dropped a few times last year in the Literature course I audited but I never got around to looking for his work.)
