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 | ||

I guess you never saw a k-pop video or a glimpse of korean drama. Even if you didn`t like it... why the hell has GOM anything to do with it? They take the sponsors they can. Be glad that it helps them support the tournament. | ||

It's not there to entertain you, they are giving money to GomTV to promote their product, thus allowing Gom to do all the amazing improvements that they do every single season. | ||

I believe they still Sponsor GSTL, but it's very likely Monsieur J simply offered more money before the contract with Hot6 was finalized. | ||

When I first heard Wolf mention it yesterday, I couldn't help but remember Puma's Interview when he won his first NASL Title. The interviewer asked him what he would do with the money and he very honestly answered that because of his skin problem, most of it would probably go into it. Many gamers and people that spend a lot of time in front of computers or video games in general won't necesseraly have the healthiest life style. It is very smart from such a company to sponsor an event such as GSL since most of the people watching it are men (core target of cosmetics for men ...) and many might have a need for such products (especially in South Korea where appearance is something that matters a lot in daily life). And as far as the whole "artistic" aspect is concerned, it's a very common thing for french luxury product to do things this way. It's in perfect opposition with common US adds where a voice basically speaks 20 words a second to try to give all sorts of useless details. | ||

You don't have to try and turn it around like i'm saying its bad for e-sports or something... dont be dumb but the fact like Mo0Rauder said, that slogan just seems kinda bad :D made me laugh... and also with the picture of this cheesy guy.. I myself also prefer something more starcraft related like g.skill or hot6 (why is that related you ask, cos its an energy drink, helloooo?) but thats besides the point.. I wanna end this by saying thank you Monsieur J for sponsoring the great company that GOMTV is, sponsoring E-sports as well, absolutely fantastic, THANK YOU!!! | ||

You basically have a large audience of online gamers interested in eSports. I imagine those spots could be more fruitfully filled by gamer related products. Games, Peripherals, components, computers, monitors, or at least other tech stuff, be it phones, music players, tvs, etc. (Obviously long-term eSports has to be capable of selling other products, but I think we're closer as a community to energy drinks and RAM. Not a whole lot of us up at 2-5AM thinking 'yeah, I hate you... my reflection? I'll buy some Korean cologne if I'm ever in a country it is sold in?') | ||

Its supposed to be even worse than Red Bull because of how much caffeine and other shit is in it. | ||

An example of this would be you creating a thread about it, because of how odd it was. Their marketing has worked. Edit: It's like the GEICO commercials; they used to make commercials that were about ANYTHING but insurance. People would often mention that Geico commercials made no sense, but their marketing is working if youre remembering the product and talking about it. | ||

COMPANY PROFILE So instead of talking about how nice or bad the commercial is, I decided to do a little research about where it comes from, and what this can mean for ESPORTS. Unfortunately I could not find much, and perhaps a search in Korean is better siuted, but I did find something. So first of all, Mr. J is actually Mr. Jung Woo Sung, who apparently is an actor. How big he is, and how famous in Korea is beyond my reach. But having a pretty boy advertising in Sc2 might be a good boost. You can read more in the product site. Now... Mr. J is actually part of Iljin Cosmetics, which seems quite a large company, as they employ 120 people. They also say they have a network distribution in Asia and Europe, so I'm sorry to the NA fans, but you might be left out. So I hope I can steer the discussion to a slightly more serious area. Think about how good/bad this can be for the sport. My personal opinion is positive. Sure, we could have been sponsored by Cool Light Saber And Exploding Stuff Ltd. and all the gamers would explode with joy, but this might be a perfect sponsor for growth, and we still want this to become a legitimate sport in the public eye, dont we? | ||

As for Mo J and GSL, there may be a moderate incongruity effect whereby they do not fit extremely well. However, it is empirically supported that when there is a moderate incongruity in sponsorship, it may create even more positive attitude towards the sponsorship and the event. From GomTV point of view, I think it helps to move it to a more mainstream direction. But I do not know if it's a good move for Mo J. Anyway, as a esport fan, it is great for the industry. | ||

I think it was Totalbiscuit who said youtubers are the same way. They love the haters because they spread the name. People who love the product and people who don't care don't spread the message as well as the haters. They hate the product so they tell everyone and people begin to get curious and next thing you know, the product is popular and everyone knows about it. Advertisin' works when people talk about it, positively or negatively. They still gain customers no matter how cheesy you think it is because you get others interested. | ||

Problem is that if you watched any Asian commercial at all (Korean, Japanese, Chinese, whatever), this doesn't even crack the worst 1000. In fact, it is probably slightly above average considering the field. | ||

the point of the thread is to laugh at how hilariously obscure the comercial is, which is unexpectedly for a hair product(?). no one is complaining how they should remove shitty ads that give money to the GSL because they 'don't sit well with me'. doing it right: day(9) shops, the protoss video, laughs doing it wrong: everyone else | ||

this one is neat. but isnt there another spot of monsieur J, that was airing on GSL, wich was simply showing the guy and the bottle and everything was blurred as usual in this kind of commercials. then the "i hate you" popped up. creating an even more surreal moment then the spot mentioned in the thread, wich is kind of story based. does somebody remember this? | ||

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 I really like it. It's extremely artistic. First off, with the snail. It represents a lot about life and social constructs. He's moving slow while being watched by a strange man. This is symbolic - It's like you going through life, going to college, going to prom ect and you have the whole world watching (the man). Pay attention to the fact that the snail doesn't react to the man. Similar to us, we just want to be left in piece and move forward. The "i hate you" has to deal with relationships. Monsieur J is a fragrance for men, and rather recently a movement has been started around "conforming to womanhood" (That's what they call it in San Fran, probably different in other places). Women are upset by men doing typical "female only" stuff such as buying expensive clothing (Just watch the ad. Triple AAA+ quality clothing) and using fragrances such as Monsieur J. I know a few places that were robbed blind because they were "giving womanly attributes to men" such as perfume places that sold men perfume. This is what "i hate you" represents, the society in which we live in. We cannot do anything without getting hatred from someone. If you eat a piece of meat, you will offend a lot of vegetarians. Anything and everything you can do is hateful to someone in some way. But, similarly to the snail, you must move forward and ignore the outside. | ||

So you see this guy and he is acting all emo. Then you see this girl that is dancing in flowing dress. They obviously just had a fight and the girl feels that she has hand. She decides to punish him for the fight by throwing his favorite facial cream into the lake. He sticks his face into the lake trying to see if he can see where it lands to maybe retrieve it later. Then it says i Hate you as his inner monologue. It is clever because he puts his face into the water, which is like putting on the facial cream, to show that this will be his last time feeling that watery feeling on his face. | ||
