The Adventures of LolaTechie (Semi-VGR)
Victor Stillwater | 8:51 AM on 07.18.2009 2 comments




This isn't going to be a very long blog, mostly because I want to impress upon you folks the value of a really good idea executed with the utmost care.

The video above is a subtitled version of the second of a series of commercials starring LolaTechie, a Philippine grandmother who uses the internet to do things we young'uns normally do, such as SuperPoke people on Facebook or play videogames on the computer. In this case, she;'s playing a fictional videogame which has parallels to CounterStrike. :)

The ad agency behind this were subtle with the promotion for this one, as LolaTechie (or GrandmaTechie in English) has Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts, including her own website.

While the concept isn't new per se, the idea that advertisers are slowly warming up to the idea of a world where the internet can connect everyoine, young and old, warms my heart. I just wish I could convince my grandmother to play Battlefield Heroes with me.

I came here expecting The Adventures of Lolo.




Instead I found an old having her style cramped by noobs. I feel her pain.
