What Is This Ad About?
-
I rarely understand advertising so this isn't a surprise that this is lost on me, but... what the crap is this ad trying to say?
-
It asks a question, but it doesn't answer anything. It appears to be an ad for a North Korean NAS vendor? Maybe they don't speak English and don't realize that this ad makes no sense? Is it implying that the leader of North Korea will personally oversee the protection of your data?
And is there a product or company name anywhere? There is a statement about highly reliable systems, but nothing that says who or what they are trying to sell.
I'm lost.
-
The evil government trying to take your data. But this backup is encrypted so they supposedly can't. But what if it's just hardware encryption?
-
The only thing that I see is a picture of a whirlpool or toilet flushing with an arrow pointing into it like "highly reliable systems" are going down the toilet.

@thecreativeone91 I think has the right idea.
-
Kim Jong-un will personally flush your data for you.

But the image seems to imply that the service being offered is being offered by North Korea itself. Or that this vendor will hand your equipment over to them since the logo of the ad is the logo on Kim's NAS that he is holding.

I don't see anything about encryption though. Nor does it make sense to be using proprietary cage systems for backups.

Kim Jong-un will get all up in your b-nas (say it out loud, it's funny.)
-
Is this a real business? Neither their ad nor their website look all that much like someone really in business. On in b-nas.

You've had to much air time already... LOL

Glorious Leader has your data. All your encryption are belong to us.

I saw this ad on Spiceworks, I was clicking between pages and thought "wtf? was that Kim Jong-Un?" so I had to go back and unfocus/refocus the window to reload the ad about 30 times before it recycled.
My thoughts then and still are "Is this ad saying that Kim Jong-Un uses this product and that means you should too? Or is it saying even he can't get into it?"
I posted about this on Spiceworks too, and the response I got was "I thought the ad was pretty clear. He stole data, this company is saying they can protect you from him." However that doesn't seem that clear to me, perhaps if he were trying to pry into with a screw driver it'd send that message, but he that's not what this really communications.
Lest we forget North Korean seriously talented hackers, haha, yeah okay....

I'm not sure what there marketing team was thinking. How stupid.
