Go Make Out In LOVE Park!

Hmm. Roberta Fallon notes an event in LOVE Park this Sunday which has an interesting premise: “THE LARGEST COLLECTION OF PEOPLE MAKING-OUT IN LOVE PARK… EVER!!” Oh, man, could it possibly beat the Giant Makeout of Skateboarders in 1998 andThe Kennedy Memorial Makeout in 1968?!

This commercial is for a new push of the campaign with a special Valentine’s Day twist. The filming takes place in LOVE Park and starts on one couple meeting at the Park. They immediately start kissing each other. The camera moves and we see another couple meeting and kissing . The camera continues to move and we see another kissing couple and another until we see a ridiculous number of couples all meeting and kissing at LOVE Park, as if everyone in Center City just stopped what they were doing and started making-out with each other.

Hooray, it’s like a high school dance right in Center City! The commercial’s being done by Ted Passon and the shoot begins at 11 a.m. and lasts ’til around 3 p.m. (It’s a one-take shoot, people! This is the Russian Ark of local tourism ads.)

The note says to be on time for the shoot, so I am ineligible to participate.

Update: A commenter notes this is the dude who ran the “Philly Fix My Car” site after his car was flipped post-World Series win. Hopefully there will be cars being flipped in this commercial due to all the love in Philadelphia.

Update 2: This came from a share on Google Reader, but I didn’t notice Erica Palan also blogged about it on the PW Style Blog. Thanks for the heads up, Erica.

    Oh, or that first shot in Snake Eyes, the only good scene in the movie.

    Ted Passon is the guy who couldn’t be bothered to lock his car in a garage the night the Phillies won the world series, instead parked it at Broad and Washington and thought all of Philly should pay for the damage. How can he be trusted with such a huge important project?? I predict an outbreak of herpes followed by Phillypayformytreatment.blogspot.com

    Or PhillypayformyChapstick.blogspot.com at the very least.

    Yay! I’m so glad people will make out for a camera in the name of Philadelphia! I think this video will be really fun. (It’s not a paid “commercial” per se…)

  6. ted passon got his car flipped and that makes him the worst person in the world ever Says: Feb 3 4:14 PM

    Chrissmari is right! Ted Passon had his car flipped, which means he should probably kill himself. There were many other people who had their cars parked on Broad Street and weren’t flipped - why did his get flipped - why is HE so special? Because he obviously is the worst person ever and hates puppies and babies and freedom.

    All those people who were generous to give him money and help him out should have their cars flipped too. We have to put an end to creative generosity now! It’s ruining America!
