It's an ad, but it does deliver a meaningful message in my opinion.

Online popularity is fake, and it's insignificant for one's life/self-esteem at the end of the day. This is one of the best commercial ad that delivers a social-awareness message (even if it was not intended for that).

this isn't meaningful, but i really like it. and am gonna post it here to stop the thread looking empty

original topic(ish maybe?)- i think some people have little digs at me sometimes because some other people like me on here, and they seem to think this means i'm not worthy of being in their club of woe. but they don't realise this is no reflection on real life, like you said

Heh, I thought this would be visually clear.

It's in Arabic, It doesn't matter what they're literally saying so I ll try to sum it up:

They're showing you a guy who's being very preoccupied (at OCD level) at being popular in facebook: doing tags, writing comments, poking, getting excited for being added and adding 'friends', exchanging likes and messages with girls he likes..... until, a moment of awaking, he realized that he was being alone all along in his room, he has no real social life, no gf and no real friends other than those FB acquaintances so he decided to step out of "his shell" and socialize with the outside world to get real friends and probably a girlfriend (and here where Clorets comes in handy :P).

This ad is genius because it directly addresses to a growing social problem.

I would give it A+ and I admit: it does strike a chord in myself personally.
