Couldn’t agree more!!!
I was a band geek and majored in music. It won't make sense unless you did too, but the opening shot of the trumpet getting bent causes an immediate visceral feeling of disgust. As a brass musician, you spent a good junk of your life trying to protect this awkward, fragile metal thing. Even gently knocking it against a table, or having it fall a few inches onto carpet is enough to feel sick to your stomach. The amazing thing about this ad is that they managed to gather enough beloved objects to destroy that they cause this same reaction in a broad cross section of their audience: guitars, classic video games, high quality paints, turntables, models ... It's as if was designed specifically to disgust creative professionals in particular. Absolutely crazy.
