    The title says it all!!!! "IT" is driving me nuts!!! I want to know what "IT" is!!!! I'm sure this is exactly what there intentions are!! I was watching tv and this commercial caught my attention because it was mocking the commercial for the Dyson Vacuum and it was quite funny!! Well at the end of the commercial, You know nothing more than when you started!! Then pops up "IT"'s web address...so naturally I had to check it out!!

    Check the link I pated and you'll see where I'm coming from!! Apparenetly "IT" is supposed to be coming our way in "X" amount of time!!

    BTW...dial-up users...it does involve little videos, so it might take a bit to load in!!!

    Here is the link...

    If anybody figures it out...you HAVE to tell me!! I don't care if it does make me look stupid!! LOL

    After viewing the site, I have good news and bad news.

    The bad news is that I have no freaking clue what IT is.

    The good news is that you only have to wait 29 hours, 50 min, 20 sec to find out.

    I think "it"s a little more deeper than an mp3 player!!

    If you watch more...they refer to ALOT of different products in the commercial, and on the website!!

    Patience grasshopper. You are no worse off than if you hadn't seen the ad, and bouncing off the walls won't do anything except put marks on the walls. And whatever it is probably won't be worth all the excitement once you DO learn what it's about.

    I've been trying for the last month without success to figure out how much longer I may have to live, and you're freaking out over an advertisement. Turn the channel and entertain yourself until the advertising plan unfolds.

    Haha......"it's" marketing, that's what "it" is, and you've all fallen for "it" ;) They want you to get talking and hype "it" up so that everyone will want to know what "it" is when "it" finally gets said.

    Init? lol (that bit was for our Brit geeks) :p

    Yeah, it is IT!

    Perhaps it is a Segway² :)

    In all actuality...That was my whole interest...the way they are marketing such a thing to suck you in, and to think, as it stands right now..."it" is totally non-existant!!!! Atleast when they get you hyped up about a new and up-and-coming car...you might not know what it looks like, but you know it is another car!! Which is more of the kind of route that most companies and advertisers take!! Digging back into my recollection of watching tv...I don't recall any kind of marketing campaign that promoted something that is so non-existant (atleast as we know it right now)!! Somebody might be able to correct me on that, but according to my memory...I can't think of anything!!

    I posted "it" here just to see the reactions, and who knows...maybe someone does know what "it " is!!?? You've got to admit...the "it" campaign is a creative, amusing approach!! :p

    Made you look though, didn't it!!?? And you can't tell me you're not the least little bit curious!!!???

    I'm not bouncing off the walls...it was just a little something to pump up a boring evening...and needless to say..."it" has sparked a little bit of a conversation on my behalf!! i just like to post something myself occasionally just to see the responses!! That's all!! :cool: ;)

    Gotta say GT...that is WAY unfair!!!!!!!!!! I already feel bad enough for you as it is!!!! :eek: :(

    Time to start thinking about getting off to work now...everybody have a good day!!!!

    No, his statement was quite accurate. People get to hyped up over insignificant things that really have no bearing on RL situations...be it a matter of life and death or things that will actually have a significant impact on our day to day living...advertising hoopla doesn't qualify IMO...ya just turn the TV/Radio off and if you feel the need ie: the advertising crosses some line of decency you report to the proper authorities so they can take care of it if deemed necessary. Problem solved...move on to what IS important.:)

    WOW...I guess I will just not let ANYTHING entertain me anymore!!!!

    Instead...I'll just sit around and be 100% serious with no sense of humor, and dwell on the things that might get me down...like life in general!!!!!!!!!! Instead of being amused by something and letting that something take my mind off of the downside of things!!!!

    For example...As I stated before...it was just a little something that, on a boring evening...took my mind off the fact that I was sitting there thinking about how I have to go back to work the next day...TO A JOB THAT I TOTALLY HATE!!!! Then I saw the commercial...got a laugh out of it, it took my mind off of other thing as I just explained, and thought I would share it with you guys.....SIMPLY FOR ENTERTAINMENT PURPOSES...I thought you might get a kick out of it...but I guess not!! Instead...I get someone (and others), using an unfortunate situation to tell me how I should think about life!!!! When I already feel bad enough for that person as it is!! After all...my wife will tell you that her and I both where in HEAVY tears when we read that persons unfrotunate thread!!!!

    I apologize, if you think it is stupid, and don't like it!!

    Oh for petes sake Roger...LOL You are missing the point...plain and simple and your use of so many words in all caps in your last post (considered yelling) just confirms that.

    You said in your original post that this 'ad' was driving you nuts...like it was all consuming....you couldn't think about anything else...a ter of life and death...you HAD to know! You didn't say it was a funny ad or anything like that except at the end of your last sentence you said lol, indicating some possible humor but everything before that indicates this was 'actually' driving you nuts so the ending 'lol' is questioned. It's the nature of the beast...ie: communicating through typing can be a difficult thing cuz without the use of appropriate emoticons/expressions to indicate humor, anger, etc. it's difficult to interpret the actual mood of the poster. *shrug* :)

    Sorry rogvalcox. You were so good at portraying your frustration in your first post that I didn't realize you were joking. (I've seen others from time-to-time that WERE that bent out of shape over trivia.) A wink or a grin in the post is always a good idea to nail down the tone of a spoof post, but I still should have realized.

    Only excuse is that I got two new high powered meds yesterday and was punchy last night, but still, I hate throwing cold water on a running joke. (The term boorish comes to mind.) Occasionally I find myself a bit too serious.

    I only have one clue and I did notice Halo pretty much figured it out. If you see the commercial, at the very end you will notice a copyright date at the lower left corner. It says, "<copyright symbol>2005 eBay Inc." :rolleyes:

    I would say that they are the culprits involved in this, but whatever "it" is they are still vague on that. I was thinking that "it" could be that they are totally revamping their website to something totally different. All I can say is that we won't know until tomorrow. Until then we'll just have to be a bit looney before they reveal what "it" is. :)

    Me personally, I'm just sitting back relaxing and waiting until the answer arrives. :cool:

    Yup...I seen that this morning!!! LOL

    Oh well....the suspense was fun while it lasted!! I still say, even after finding out what it was...It was a very creative ad campaign!! Thumbs up to the ones responsible for coming up with that!! It's nice to see something other than your typical hum-drum commercial!!!! Not that I really watch that much tv!!
