I absolutely love the AmazonKindle commercials on the teevee; the catchy tunes and slowmation. Am I going crazy?

I totally agree and I insist that truer words were never spoken, yet it is one of the very rare commercials that attract my attention.

Very clever style, I enjoy them as well.
There's an early animated short of Henry Selick (James and the Giant Peach, Coralina) called 'Slow Bob in the Lower Dimensions' that came to mind when I first saw the Kindle adds... though Selick's work is a bit more grim.
