Back in the late eighties or early nineties [if my memory serves me right] when the cable televsion had just started [in India]. Advertising also started getting mature & creative.
I hope many will have seen this visual ad for mobile handset, which incidentally was the initial launch period for cellular phones:
If you want to watch the video first, you may use this link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIZQG- .
If for some reason, you are unable to watch the video, here's a description of the clip:
The scene opens with a middle aged guy in full suit enters a posh restaurant and just when about to be seated sights a beautiful lonely lady at an opposite table. Certain things that happen which get into an illusion that she was talking to him to join her at the table.
When he goes to the table, you see the lady closing her call [she had been talking on her cellular phone, which was so small, nobody could have made it out or thought she was using it and was actually talking to someone, which our man mistook as her beckoning to him 
].
Our man was excited at the prospect of making a date with a beautiful lady and headed straight to her table, only to be mistaken for a steward of the restaurant and asking the baffled guy "One black coffee please".
And then you hear the ad phrase 'Ericsson mobile phones: Surprisingly Samll!' 
The whole ad was created with such aplomb and had all the expressions captured so well, it was a very professional & mature and creative ad.
Do you admire creativity? Do you have something creative you have done or appreciated, to share?

I like it when writers do something that is educational. It is like saying, you need to understand something about this product, then here is some information. I can not think of one particular advertizement at the moment but know I’ve seen some where the idea being conveyed is informative of change. It could be as simple as saying look people we used to do things this way, now we don’t see... and then the demonstration.
The video came up with a message
The URL contained a malformed video ID.
Sorry about that.
But I understood very well by your great description.

Bluedoll: I'm grateful to you for two reasons: the first, that you took time to comment & share and the second, the most important which I was anxiously looking forward to is that by commenting you opened up the chance for me to apologize for problem with the link 
.
I think the video link pasted here doesn't work. Or there is a syntax for sharing the link, which I may not be aware of. 
Any help from anyone who reads this further?
