Is HTC One launch ad funny or mortifying?


(Credit: HTC/Funny Or Die Screenshot by Chris Matyszczyk/CNET) Finding true love is as difficult as finding an original needle in a sewing establishment. No art form has ever made that more poignant than "The Bachelor" and its sister show "The Bachelorette." For weeks and weeks, potential partners are examined, touched, whispered to, held and discarded, until, somehow, a lasting happiness emerges. Oddly, so many of these couples break up around four minutes after the show is over. Still, the wise people behind the apparently rather fine HTC One thought it would be a good idea to compare choosing a phone to choosing one's true love. They employed the people behind Funny Or Die to help them make a killing. Here we have a Bachelorette who tries to find her one true love in a phone. Helping her to do this (or not) is actor James Van Der Beek from "Dawson's Creek."
