The things here trivialized… not trivial. This ad made me shudder more than once. If you’ve ever been stalked, peeped, or sexually assaulted, you may want to skip this one.
It’s an ad for a cell phone kind of like the iphone (sorry iphone people, I’m sure it’s nothing like the iphone).
The phone doesn’t appear to be sold in the U.S. Via AdFreak.

That is extraordinary. Apart from being long and a little dull, it plays into all of the hands of those gadget freaks who think that taking a picture of something means you 'own' her / him / it.

Video removed by user. Maybe they re-thought their strategy?

Wow... that is just CREEPY.

Loaded with symbolism and very creepy. It does the job of disturbing a person that's for sure. Not sure I'd want to buy the phone though after seeing that...actually, I wouldn't.

Gee I thought I hated LG just because their phones have crap battery life. Apparently they thought they had to reach more of the stalker demographic.

Thanks Dreikin! The video should work again now, too.

Wow, okay. That's gross and very creepifying. It reminds me of the flash games where you're supposed to guide your cursor over the image of a sleeping woman to arouse her to orgasm without waking her up.
Like this one. NSFW, obviously.

I don't agree with a lot of things posted here as being wrong or bad, but yeah, this commercial is totally messed up.

Would it be messed up if they were dating? If they were a couple that was about to move in together and he is a voyeur, she is an exhibitionist? Assuming that the man and the women are strangers certainly gives this another spin.

That is really creepy. This is for an LG phone? Yuck.

A lack of creativity at the LG ad department. This doesn't change the fact that ads suck in general.

Does anyone know where this ad aired? (Assuming not in US, as post says phone not sold there)
My sister is being stalked right now. And here it is again, in all its disgusting, pop, accepted glory.

maybe none of it happened and it was some kind of oedipal fantasy all along.

What the HELL kind of marketing team did they have??

I think it’s also smart to choose your few appliances based on your kitchen habits. For instance, I own an expensive Kitchen Aid mixer (not frugal), but I use it often because I love to bake. The cost-per-use has come down considerably. Plus, I bought it on sale. The sale meant I didn’t get to choose my favorite color (red), but I did get a white one for a super low price. Thanks for the tips!
