For an obsessive blogger and Trend Hunter like myself, this new ad from Swedish Internet service provider Karlstads Stadsnät totally speaks to me.
We have become so addicted and attached to our online activities that having a poor—or God forbid no—Internet connection can be disastrous.
The Karlstads Stadsnät ad speaks to those who suffer from poor Internet connection, or whose service providers filter and restrict content, by showing a man and a woman physically restricted and bound by their Internet cables.
The visual is accompanied with the copy "How much freedom does your broadband provider offer?"
