homeschoolmom Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 [quote name='HisChildForever' post='1891403' date='Jun 15 2009, 01:08 PM']Honestly, I did NOT see the commercial saying "Use our product and you can accomplish anything."[/quote] Yeah, I know. I was just being silly. [quote]I saw this. A girl overcoming tremendous obstacles and, in the end, "shining" on stage. As for the product, the commercial is basically saying that it will make your hair so beautiful, as beautiful as how that girl looked on stage (radiant and intense) fulfilling her dreams. The commercial is stating that their product is the embodiment of true or real beauty.[/quote] I wish, though, that commercials would stick more to telling me why their product is superior to their competitors rather than trying to make me feel a certain way and then glomming their product on to that feeling.

Hilde Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 For some reason, youtube doesn't give me any sound whatsoever. Weird. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jeffpugh Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 [quote name='puellapaschalis' post='1891216' date='Jun 15 2009, 04:35 AM']Evelyn Glennie, I think. The actress in the video clearly [i]can't[/i] play violin and if a violin has been smashed onto the ground like that then fixing it together with sellotape will never produce anything like the original sound quality. One of the fiddles she picked up looked like a Skylark, the standard model for beginners and which hardly ever sound better than a refined cat being tortured. And all that posturing on stage? That isn't going to impress any judges in a music competition worth their salt.[/quote] Yes. Ms Glennie is Scotish, I believe. Heck, I believe she came to U of T last year. Anywho, I thought of the violin fixing thing too. And the posture. And the bowing.... lawl. I decided to let all that slide cause by the end there I was just rolling my eyes at the audacity of the story... [quote name='Gregorius' post='1891262' date='Jun 15 2009, 09:49 AM']lol But seriously, there's no way that could happen. I'm a brass player, but I know once your instrument gets banged up, it will never sound right again. Also, I did not like the way she stopped that piece. And did anyone notice that those thugs came to break her violin after that piano girl saw her, and while they were breaking it, she just seemed to know what was going on? Suspicious to me... [/quote] Indeed. I accidentally "dinged" the valve casing of a school trumpet once (I couldn't even see the dent even) and the vale would stick. Very precise instruments. [quote name='inunionwithrome' post='1891318' date='Jun 15 2009, 11:19 AM']Many brilliant musicians have had many forms of learning disabilities. The most common being dyslexia. Would you say to that person no, you can't play because you don't see the notes correctly? Or is Pantene simply showing that others with disbilities can do the same things as many "normal" musicians? They are showing that we can rise to the occasion. At our church, we have an altar server who is both deaf and blind. Yes, the other altar servers guide him but when he is given the job of helping with the incensor, he knows when to bring it and when to put it back on the sacramental that holds it. He did not lose hearing until 3 though and was taught a little English. I think and not just because I have disbilities either that he is among one of the better altar servers because he is not there to be seen, he is there to serve the lord. I found it very heartwarming.[/quote] Dyslexia is something that can be dealt with. And yes, there is Suzuki method. In all honesty, the story you shared is a lot more inspiring, edifying.

Vincent Vega Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I actually like the Ordinary Pantene Commercial better. I like commercials to be in the vernacular. Plus, I like the dancing and clowns that sometimes accompany them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

inunionwithrome Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 I was actually taught the Suziki Method for learning medieval recorder. It was technically supposed to be flute but the sideways thing never worked, so I ended up playing recorder and at 15 started playing the clarinet. JMO.

Pantene is no better or worse than any of them. [url="http://thebeautybrains.com/2009/01/18/pantene-is-bad-for-hair-myth-busted/"]http://thebeautybrains.com/2009/01/18/pant...ir-myth-busted/[/url] If you want to invest in a good hair care product that is sold in stores, pick Biolage or Paul Mitchell. They use Sebastian at my stylist's place.[/quote]+J.M.J.+ awesome site, btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
