I have talked about commercials that have kind of got my goat in the past. There was that Kia Forte ad that I found rather degrading toward humanity and seemed to favor the conquering of robot overlords.

This one for the HTC One is somewhat offensive to humanity as well. In case you don’t want to watch the video, it shows a woman looking at fine art, and this art somehow becomes Facebook posts.

Now, in all fairness, this is essentially an ad for Facebook Home. If you haven’t tried it, you can make it your Android wallpaper and see all your status updates.

It is handy to have Facebook Home on your homescreen, but isn’t the point of an art museum to look at…I don’t know…art? Instead, the person on the ad wastes the opportunity and looks at pointless updates that will won’t last the test of time, and be obsolete by the end of the day.

Is this what we have become? There is no way you can equate great works of art with what appears on Facebook on a daily basis. Please.
