Comments on: Steven Gerrard's Clay Pigeon Ad and the Crisis of Contemporary Ontology http://www.runofplay.com/2008/11/25/steven-gerrards-clay-pigeon-ad-and-the-crisis-of-contemporary-ontology/ Attacking Football Sat, 13 Mar 2010 15:34:31 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Elliott http://www.runofplay.com/2008/11/25/steven-gerrards-clay-pigeon-ad-and-the-crisis-of-contemporary-ontology/comment-page-1/#comment-6479 Elliott Sat, 20 Jun 2009 02:39:42 +0000 http://www.runofplay.com/?p=3789#comment-6479 I think this storyline is airtight compared to the drivel on television and 90% of films. Just the other day Santi and I did the same thing, but the only difference is 1) We are broke and neither owns a cellphone camera to capture the feat, and 2) I actually hit3 out of 4 claypigeons. And don't trust any post by an individual posing as Santiago which may speak to the contrary, perchance claiming we "do not live in the same city" or other logistical questions.

This is the sort of detached fragment that we're constantly being called on to process, and as the processing has become more instinctive---and thus less critical---the nature of what we're being asked to process has become incrementally more bizarre. To an ad producer I doubt that's of any significance at all, but to a person caught in the blizzard of contemporary marketing it might be interesting to think about.

Wheter or not you coutenance the veracity of Gerrard's accomplishment matters not. So jog on son, and yes the 2005 Champions League win was very real, its a damn commercial ontological discrepancies should not even arise.

Removing those clothes (especially for Gerrard) would result in an identity crisis of unparalleled proportions.
