Palm Pre has been a much talked about Smartphone which has already got the gizmo hunters in a tizzy. However, the latest ads have been trying to promote the Smartphone in one of the more startling manners. If you have been following advertisements, you would have already noticed the creepy woman talking gibberish in a robotic language.

While most people have considered these creepy ads to be detrimental to the popularity of the Palm Pre, some people think it actually might do a lot good to the company. The idea has been to strike a balance between Blackberry and other Smartphones which seem to be hogging a lot of attention. The ad shows the woman speak in a creepy manner but it surely is futuristic and has something which reminds you of the Tom Cruise starrer Vanilla Sky.

Advertisements usually need not be conventional and appealing to the masses. They can shock the masses as that are what good ads are all about: Shocking the customer into buying something he needs. Thus, the hullabaloo around the ad is unfounded and in fact it needs to be much appreciated. It has even been found to have attracted many new first time Palm Pre users.

It certainly DID NOT go well with many people however, and this video here is proof for that. Go figure!
