(nsfw) Cisco saves humanity with Adam & Eve redux.


Employing, literally, the oldest metaphor in the (good) book, Re:Birth Films in NYC created this hubristic hooey for the $39 billion tech company. In the spot, the Garden of Eden is a sterile server room, and Cisco is God. Its servers give birth to the world's first humans (or their robotic equivalents?) and then, the evil serpent. But this time, Adam refuses Eve's synthetic apple and instead plants one on her. Yay! The moral? Cisco Systems make people immortal (or something). While we do get a peek at Eve's (she was a blonde?) virgin derriere, we are disappointingly denied a view of Adam's hardware. I thought Google was God? Note: the music doesn't work. Thanks to The Reverse Cowgirl for the tip. Previously: Cisco kids. And, the Ass Ads Archive.

Boo hiss Cisco, playing off archaic religious themes. Some day major brands will be as embarrassed to stoop to this sort of reference as they would be to humorize Jonestown, or a Klan rally - or a Sarah Palin quote.

Also perty cheesy ad. I've spent too many hours of my geek life in data centers, and I've /never/ seen any creatures that beautiful in them. The models aren't bad either.

It's got nothing to do with Cisco, just some clown ad guy trying to drive up his personal stock by saying he did a Cisco commercial.

Boo Hiss the idiots that thought it was something Cisco did and bashing them without even attempting to check their facts.

I guess ALL internet n00bs think that if the saw something on the www, it must be true.

This was not done by Cisco, hence the removal of the logo.

Anons: I knew it wasn't an official Cisco spot before I posted it (Duh——bare ass?). Who cares. Judging by their past ad work, it's not like this spot is beneath something they'd produce.
