GE Plays Leapfrog, Dead Site Ends Leaping Lark

ge_leapfrog.jpg

This new leapfrog ad by GE uses playful animation to marry love of innovation to harmony with the natural world. We think the frog, which echoes the adorable Geico gecko, is a little scrawny for all that hardcore hopping but we like the ad anyway.

Our only reservation is that Eco Imagination, the site you’re asked to visit, doesn’t actually lead you anywhere. Note to selves: make sure campaign sites are up before even considering ads pointing to them. Imagination at work? Clearly not that of the guy in charge of making sure the site was up. Unless we were supposed to imagine our own.

“I don’t want to talk about it” doesn’t necessarily mean someone won’t communicate, psychologists who study a pattern known as normative male alexithymia have found many men are socialized from childhood to have a genuinely thinner emotional vocabulary to reach for, not a refusal to use the one they have.
