Sneaky Nokia ad features skateboarding.

More viral advertising featuring skateboarding. This one in a commercial from Nokia, masquerading as a company called Great Pockets. The joke being that you could buy custom tailored clothing with huge pockets to carry all your electronic gear, or of course you could just ditch all that gear for the Nokia N95 phone.

What’s the 411 on 118 118?

Heck, I can’t watch […]
