Here's a youtube video that shows the commercial (notice at 54 seconds, the slogan "i Hate You" My first reaction when i saw the hair products or whatever it is for, it looks like some 80's scam product.. and when I then saw the commercial i couldn't help but LAUGH at that whole "artistic" fail. Then when the "i Hate you" came up, I almost cried laughing... Are you SERIOUS GOM?? Haha i dunno about this, i prefered some random stuff like Hot6... what do you guys think? =P OMMAGAWD DAYJ IS EVERYWHERE. | ||

This kind of provocative slogan is pretty common in french cosmetic ads like channel, hugo boss, etc. Don't ask me why. And the fact that this brand is called "Monsieur J" says a lot. | ||

Bad ads are not hurting e-sports, I'm sorry no drama to be found here. | ||

Anyway, pretty straightforward commercial here, indeed very similar to any perfume one we have in France, which are more about showcasing a "mood" in some poetic way than really making any sense at all. Nothing to make any fuss about imho. | ||

I don't think it is worth going crazy over although i think people will still take it for verbatum. | ||

I still have to watch it in LQ, through their own player exclusively, and the same complaints about lacking sound proof booths that came up in 2010 came up just today. Mind-blowingly amazing map intros, new content (GNN Monday), additional graphics and statistics, improvements to viewers at GSL studio. There may be minor things I'm overlooking, but GSL is consistently investing in adding and improving things every season. Oh yeah, VOD system got a major upgrade very recently. That's huge. | ||

I also have been witness to some of the really great changes/improvements that GomTV has made.. There is no doubt they are benefitting from these sponsors... My previous post was OBVIOUSLY sarcastic and directed towards the people who do not read anything but the OP | ||

Yeah, while I kinda agree with you, (and I am also Korean) stuff like this is pretty much an armed time bomb. Keep the controversial opinions on the blog, that seems the way the site rolls. | ||
