Mobile Phone Viral sorry ADVERT

This video has been doing the rounds the last few weeks, yes its fantastically shot, its a clever idea (although the song is sort of out of tune / time), and it has quite a few YouTube views - it's one of those videos that keeps you guessing what its for, right until the very end, and that's where it becomes extremely disappointing.

What a let down. Two mobile phones sat there, the only connection being a wooden finish to the phone. You could run the same video and plonk a can of dog food at the end, it would't matter, I doubt viewers would care. If they wanted to make this advert "go viral" as I'm sure they did when it was conceived, maybe adding a simple bit of humour to the end would've encouraged more people to send / share it with friends, rather than the worry that they might be spamming.

Maybe after going all that way, playing Bach out of time and tube, the ball knocks into the phones and they splat into mud (face up of course) and the director shouts "take two".
