Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
So let's make a NeoGAF national television ad and put it on Fox News

here is a an extremely simple and quick sample of my idea for the commercial to celebrate GAF & Country w/ arabic narration. basically I just took a USA tribute vid and threw some Arabic speech on top of it. But you should be able to envision the gist of it.

We have to keep in my mind that while we want to triumph GAF, this is FOX News and this magical opportunity to poke fun at, or evoke a reaction out of their average idiot viewer shouldn't be wasted. Anything we come up with should do both.

Dammit! :lol
That's why if we keep them real small he won't know about it. Or put them behind him (in the video). If we just keep it on the dl, play it cool then we should be good.
Also, no dinos or lazers - how about a komodo dragon and a flashlight??

I still love Evilore's second audio recording with slight changes. When paced well with the proper visuals I think it would work.
This basically just takes Shanadeus' original concept and mixes it up to sound more fluid. Shanadeus had some great public domain vids that would go well with this as well. Ending with some graphics by Modus would be perfect. Actually, Modus' stuff is the no brainer when it comes to ending the commercial.
Now I want to get out of work, go home and edit this together just to see how it works with Evilore's voice over.
EDIT: Music. For everything up to "VIDEO GAME DISCUSSION" we could have a low volume God Bless America playing in the background. After that, we jump into something crazy for the final graphical sequence. Someone created a demo video for a commercial earlier that would work perfectly.

How about rifles & Raptor Jesus??
Whatever really. I just think it would be hilarious to see people throw a tift at a commercial preaching their values just because it was spoken in a certain language. It would poke fun at the fact that conservatives & neo-cons often fear what they don't understand. These are the same people who not too long ago were calling our President is an Islamic terrorist just based off his name :lol
I see tons of great ideas being given. But again, remember Fox News was selected as the target for a reason

Although I love many of the ideas suggested already (M0dus your renders are hot) I think we should explain WHY Gaf is so awesome, perhaps playing on the gaming industry impact we have. I envision the audience seeing a Gaf commercial and having that "whoa, cool." feeling on our viewers.
For example, take the Gaf > internet > Gaf concept. Lot's of stuff is posted HERE first. Our community has an impact on the gaming industry. Hell, we've got some of the best right here among us. Not only do we have a hilarious, vibrant, and intelligent community (many sites do) but we ALSO have this great industry connection. There are some great ways we could showcase this that would also be funny and could include some of the other ideas mentioned.
Gotta run into a meeting for now but the end should definitely include the M0dus renders.

Could we get an affordable ad on Adult Swim? Fox News would be funny, but most definitely would be lost to anyone outside of us. Adult Swim might be a good lol worthy attempt and claim a more rounded audience for the lolz.
I approve of this endeavor either way.
Evilore has a sexy voice.*

Any ad I'd want to place on Fox News would be banned by Fox News.

What about trying something interactive?
I know it'd be tough since viewers won't be registered members, but there might be something new/cool we could think up with all of this talent on here...

First thing I thought of in regards to a NeoGAF ad is the camera looking at a guys face. He is sitting in what looks like a living room with the faint light of, one can rightly assume, a monitor reflecting on his face. The ad is silent aside from a dramatic piano piece playing in the background. Something like Moonlight Sonata. His face goes through the emotions of GAF. He laughs. It cuts to him very angry. It cuts to him looks celebratory; a fist pump maybe. The final shot will be a look of awe, with a single tear rolling down his face. All in slight slow motion for dramatic effect. Fade to black with NeoGAF ball logo. Fade in 'Believe'.

I have another rough idea that needs refining. just kinda typed it out late last night.
I'm hoping all of you can fill in the blanks:
EviLore walking through a call center talking to the camera about the benefits of NeoGAF.
As he is talking, he is walking past cubicles with people helping people in the background with issues like:
Poli-GAF cubicle
[insert some response about Obama =/= Bush or some other political hot button]
Girl-Age cubicle
[insert clever response from girl-age thread - "Maybe you should F.H.U.T.A."]
Compu-Age cubicle
[insert clever response from computer-age - Mac/PC, iPhone/Android or whatever]
Sales-Age cubicle
[insert clever response from sales-age thread like a VGCz diss]
System Warz cubicle
[insert some flameworthy statement coming from the other side of the phone]
-Evilore leans over and hits the BANNED button.
Followed up with EviLore saying:
"Not only do we know everything but everyone here is an expert."
-or-
"NeoGAF is 24 hours a day of Awesome, because everyone here is an expert."

You know, it would be pretty funny if we concentrated all of our resources on one really small area. Like, a single city, or a college town. Run a really intense campaign (it would be even funnier if the ad was tailor-made for that area...we could even do some internet detective work on some of the people who live there and make the ad call them out: "Brad, your girlfriend Jenna is pretty lame. You should dump her, hit on that hot girl Hanna in your apartment complex, and log onto NeoGAF.com for tips on where you should or should not stick it!")

You think the lengthy approval process and massive amount of lurkers is a worthy issue to poke fun of? A lot of people are throwing around the idea of including classic GAF thread trends etc, which I think is a great idea, but I think the member process has some humor to be mined out of it.
Something like a kid staring at an unopened toy, perhaps an action figure
You can tell he is just dying to play with it, but some ominous adult like figure says, "No you can't play with it yet!, Three more months!"
Then quick cut, text saying three months later, kid opens it and makes the action figure do a FHUTA to another action figure (in a subtle way, not straight up simulated sex but them kind of banging together), then the ominous adult sweeps in, steals the toy back and says, sorry that is a banned meme.
Cut to nice GAF logo (m0dus), "Still can't post?" fade out in to new text, "Maybe someday", fade out to new text, "Believe"

When are we going to stand up and say you know what, enough is enough and I want the old NeoGAF back. Remember the days when you knew most posters by their username? Do you remember the days of the Revolution? What about the days when people had PSPs - remember those? - and exchanged them for nude photos. That's the NeoGAF I remember, America. It wasn't perfect but we lived together, we laughed together, and sometimes we got banned together. We knew we were never alone.
I'm sorry. I just love this forum. And I fear for it. It seems like the mods and now the special interests and media are surrounding us and suffocating our freedom. But if we pull away the curtains there's nothing there. The admin is not an elected official. He is a czar, and I just don't think America needs czars. If we go down this path the special interests and ad men behind his campaign will succeed, and we will fail. That's what this is about
*writes AD REVENUE on chalk board*
It's not about you, it's not about me. It's not about America. But we can change that. I want you to remember where you were back in September of 2005, when everything changed. When we saw what the future of gaming, and the future of this forum would look like. Remember how you felt? The endless possibilities? The feeling of change in the air. It was like power being transferred to your right hand. I want to go back to that time. 9/05. No more special interests. I know you're scared, I know what has you scared. But we can make it if we come together. And tomorrow can be a new day.
Thank you, and may god bless this country.

I always imagined GAF ad to be something akin to V For Vendetta Speech scene:

We should totally have something about the Homeless-Age topic: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=370505.
Very inspirational and shows everyone that GAF can do amazing things. Heck, those watching on Fox will be surprised to see a gaming forum could accomplish such a thing.
