This Nokia campaign, where a Personal Navigator leads the lost to their final destinations, probably wasn’t meant to encourage emo-stricken weirdos to trust friendly strangers. But from here on out, if I ever want to kidnap a giant chicken in dire straits, I’ll probably pull on a “Personal Navigator” shirt and try taking it by the hand.
Also see bickering pirates locate misplaced X, a lost alien get alienated, two goths find love, and — my favourite — Pacman outrunning the ghosts, which also have a Personal Navigator.
The campaign was seeded across the ‘net by Unruly Media. Its happy task is to endear the Nokia N78 — featuring maps! — to the navigationally-challenged. The music gave each piece a Chaplinesque feel, which made things seem that much sadder when it all went horribly wrong.
