look at the "ang sarap dito" billboards - all you see is the angel. also, look at how people refer to the ad, it's the "coke angel" tv commercial. it's obvious, this whole ad campaign is about the angel. so, who the hell cares about the devil?!
well actually, the better question is - why the hell is the devil in that tv spot?
the story is very clear - coke tastes so good, so refreshing that even angels can hear the satisfaction of humans on earth. so loud and clear =that the angel checks out coke and after tasting it herself, it felt so good to her that she decided to be a human to make sure coke is always within her reach. that's how good tasting coke is - that even angels who live in heaven and who need nothing more on earth or in heaven find that she needs the good taste of coke.
that's the whole campaign. and where is the devil in that story?
the devil in the story adds the bad to what's all good. and that's also on a literal sense. the devil
in the ad at the end of commercial changes the story to even the bad or the devil also want coke. so it's not just good people who want coke now, it's also the bad.
the directorial treatment of the ad also gives an impression of the devil is about to seduce the angel. what? a sexual tension between the angel and the devil? what the hell is that all about?
this coke ad could have just remained on the good side. there is no problem in providing some touch of humor, or a tongue in cheek story and even a humorous or interesting ending. but is the devil's role the only way to achieve those? surely there are a lot more ways, specially wholesome, nice and sweet ones, to end the commercial and provide a point of interest at the end of the ad.
so again, who the hell cares about the devil?
