Carpet Bombing continues

CBS just aired the airplane Zip ad. Can they keep this pace up for the whole year? Suddenly, $100MM doesn't seem like enough!

As one that works in this field all the time, I feel the ad is technically well done, however:

1. If you don't know what a Zip is, it doesn't tell you.

2. The main jist was "storage." But storage of what?

3. The CGI "Zip" thingy at the end was cool, but they should show it on a computer box like Intel does with some of their ads. As if to say--"make sure the computer you buy has this sticker on it."

4. I could get it confused with a Fed Ex commercial, if just watching it casually. Don't ask me how.
