Maybe it鈥檚 a symptom of the third lockdown, but I related to the woman in Amazon鈥檚 Super Bowl ad who develops a strangely personal relationship with an object in her home. In this case, an Amazon employee imagines her Alexa device coming to life in the body of actor Michael B Jordan (an excellent casting choice).聽
The situation increases in absurdity from there, as the woman鈥檚 fantasy deepens and she develops a romantic relationship with Michael/Alexa. As things escalate to bubble-bath territory, the character鈥檚 escapism is recognisable while providing some much-needed comic relief. I鈥檒l be surprised if this isn鈥檛 one of the most popular Super Bowl ads this year.
