Comments about our Asimo ad for Honda at ‘Thoughts from the Sidelines’ blog.

The first time I saw this was in a pub this weekend whilst I was supposed to be Christmas shopping but felt curiously drawn to a pint or two of liquid refreshment having flexed the plastic all morning and it had a rather odd effect on me as, for some strange and wholly inexplicable reason, I was shocked to feel a tear roll down my cheek (no sniggering at the back please).

Why, I know not, but having seen it again later that evening it had the same effect again (only a little more pronounced) and I have no idea why.

Moving people to tears isn’t exactly the response we’d anticipated, but we had hoped to provoke an emotional response to a piece of technology. So I guess weeping is a result. I do wonder just how much he’d been drinking.
