New Girl‘s Zooey Deschanel and The Avengers‘ Samuel L Jackson both have an iPhone 4s and no friends it seems. And they’d like you to be the same as them.
I wonder if they’ll redub them for overseas, seeing as Siri’s voice is different for different markets. Over here, Siri is a guy, for one thing.
The question is, do they make you want to buy an iPhone 4s? I already have one and I will admit that the ads do at least make me want to try Siri more than I have already – I look on the ads as the instruction manuals I never got for Siri (“Wow. I never knew it could do that and I’ve had it for six months and I write about them for a living…”).
I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
