This is hands down one of the best videos I’ve seen marketing a product. Most companies don’t have the balls to produce something like this since it is racist and has “potty mouth” words, but I’m sitting in my chair with a smile on my face.

Stefan Constantinescu

Stefan Constantinescu (@WhatTheBit on Twitter) has loved technology since as far back as he can remember. It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team. He is currently based out of Helsinki, Finland.

    Excellent… wouldn’t surprise me if it was meant to be an homage to American Psycho

  • newtype2011

    That was good. I loved the part when the older woman picked up the cash register and threw it on him -

    I’m assuming it’s some sort of joke ad.
    If not, I’m not buying any jawbone products that might support meat-head marketing idiots that think this is a worthwhile marketing tactic.

    Steve.

  • Stefan Constantinescu

    it’s just a joke Steve. :lol:

  • Dmatt

    Yes, and a good one.

    LOL

    I think this is clever advertising, maybe a bit too much regarding ethics , then again it’s just a commercial ;-)

    Fantastic…buy me a jawbone.
    commercials have gotten boring and lame.

  • Steph

    A little to edgy…but makes you think ah?

    There are several “Jawbone” vids that I”ve seen today.

    A very common pattern emerges, even once you take away the ugliness of the beatdowns/animal attacks/sexual orientation changes -

    “JawBone! The Self-Hating-Whiteman’s product”

    Just who the **** do they think are likely to be their primary customers? Way to drive away your base, buddy.

    By the way: attacking Christians or white men is no longer “edgy”. It’s merely lame and cliched. I still wait for the first artist or ad company that has enough stones to diss single women or muslims.

    I’d like it if they (fictionally of course) showed that uber-Ape in the white house getting beaten to death (the female one, not the half-ape one).

    Now, THAT would be funny!

    Racist violence is sooooo funny!
