PlayBook ad: subtlety at its best.

You gotta laugh.

I’ve just seen an advert for the new BlackBerry PlayBook – you know the one, the self-styled ‘professional’ answer to the iPad. And the song they’ve chosen to soundtrack this advert?

“Flash” by Queen.

You don’t think this could be a “subtle as a breezeblock” way of reminding people the PlayBook runs Flash – and the iPad doesn’t – do you?

Nah. They’d be more subtle wouldn’t they. Wouldn’t they?
