Here's a new ad promoting the helpful Yellow Pages app for smartphones. It hammers home the point that with the Yellow Pages app, a world of resources are at your fingertips.
The scene begins with a broken front gate and as soon as the home owner types "gate repair" into his Yellow Pages app there is a repair man there fixing it. From there, the pattern continues as he goes from getting his hair cut to his teeth cleaned, to hiring a personal assistant in the blink of an eye.
While the sequence of events is totally unrealistic in real time, the point is the Yellow Pages app is very useful for everyday needs. The commercial depicts the app as an all knowing, all seeing tool for getting anything you need.
