"It's for you"Posted by Joel Martinsen on Saturday, October 21, 2006 at 1:54 AM
This cute Coke ad's been out for almost a month now, but since I still haven't gotten tired of it, I thought I'd share it with the folks out there who aren't blessed with the wonders of Chinese TV. Through the magic of YouTube, then, here is "Ringtone":
This is another in a series of Coke ads starring Wilbur Pan (潘玮柏) and Angela Chang (张韶涵). Here's an earlier spot, which, much like the S.H.E. World of Warcraft ads (endings 1, 2, 3), features Coke-stealing hijinks in a virtual environment. |

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.

Comments on "It's for you"
first 10 seconds were amusing first time around. the remainder of the ad then got a bit annoying. this feeling has been intensified by the several hudred times I have seen it on tv.
still, anything, and I mean anything would beat S.H.E. If I drank coke, i would boycott it in response to the antics of these three female half wits
Sweet little ad. Mike... feel free to tell us more about S.H.E's "antics".
dror - you've seen the ads haven't you? if not watch them. it's that easy
