Best App Ever

So I was just browsing Facebook a while back and I came across this incredibly entertaining video posted by my friend.

This video is actually an ad to promote Durex's latest iPhone app. My initial reaction was disbelief. Seriously?! A condom delivery app?! I thought it was just a joke. But curiosity got the better of me and I decided to go check it out at the app store. And this is what I found:

OH MY GOD! It's real! So apparently this is how it works, you identify your location and then select the product you want. It will then be delivered to you within an hour. How innovative is that?! It's like ordering MacDonalds! 24 hours delivery even! *Only available in Dubai*

No, in case you're wondering if I'm promoting Durex or condoms. I just found this marketing strategy really interesting. I always admire the marketing teams of companies that sells products which are not so socially accepted such as condoms and sanitary pads. It's really tough for them but many have created awesome ads such as this:

A good marketing team can make an all right product seem god-like and influence public's perception of it. The power of marketing. Never underestimate it. 

Acting VS. Reality

Look at the number of pills I have to pop! OMG! 

Since I am home today due to sick leave, I shall write another post.

As some of you may have known, Wah!Banana recently collaborated with YouTubers from Malaysia and Singapore such as DanKhoo Productions, Joseph Germani and N.O.C - Night Owl Cinematics to produce an extremely cool and interactive video.

Watch it here if you haven't! You can choose not to save me, I won't get upset. But of course, why won't you save me, right? LOL. Kidding. :D 

(Oh yes, by the way you need to actually click on the annotations to watch the different endings if you didn't realize that.) 

I was reading some of the comments that were posted about the video as I always do for all of our videos. And I realized that some people fail to differentiate between acting and reality. It's simple, really. What you see in the video is known as ACTING.

As explained by the Oxford Dictionary:

noun

[mass noun]

• the art or occupation of performing FICTIONAL roles in plays, films, or television

It's FICTIONAL. It's not real. It's fake.

In scenes whereby I am being portrayed as naked, people truly believed that I was walking around on set without my clothes on. Or scenes whereby it seems that Aaron and I were being intimate, people believed that we were really having sex. Or scenes whereby I am acting as a couple with either Elliot or Aaron, people believed that we are a couple. REALLY?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?!

The classic scene of Aaron and I acting intimate in 20 Ways to Break Up.

Hence, I wish to emphasize here that what you see on screen; regardless it being on TV, YouTube, Cinema etc, they are usually fictional unless stated otherwise. And I truly think that it is to your benefit that you do not believe everything you see or hear on the media. Always question and think. Yes, thinking is actually good for you.
