World's Craziest Xylophone Used In New Smartphone Ad

[Pebkac]

The design of the phone's back makes it look like it has a strange face. O.-

I also like how the term "touch wood" has changed over the years. I never understood how touching or knocking on wood is supposed to be good luck.

That is a pretty sweet Xylophone, it would be a shame if something were to happen to it.

I'm going to make one that plays a Dragonforce song now...

You know, if I had anything to do with that advertisement, I'd strongly suggest we didn't show "Touch Wood." at the end there.

But aside from that, this is damned nice.

Oh boy, this advert makes me want to buy a smartphone for some reason! It's very effective!

...damn you guys are immature. 'Touch wood' is a phrase that means 'good luck', and I expect that's the case in Japanese culture.

I think a polished wooden backing for a smartphone is a great design idea.

I wish my school would task me of creating a Rube Goldberg machine...

Oh I'll just do it anyways.

Cool commercial.

It may only be Sunday but I'm declaring that one of the coolest things of the week.

I liked the ad up until the advertising. I learn nothing about the phone other than it is vaguely bean shaped and has a wood colored plastic case. The xylophone bit was pretty cool though.

The problem is that most people know it as knock on wood.

The problem is that most people know it in America as knock on wood.

Fixed. I'm English, and we know it as 'Touch wood'. We're not so insecure as to need to remove every single innuendo out of our expressions, it takes out a lot of the fun.

Just for giggles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knocking_on_wood

And knocking on wood can be just as fun/dirty.
