Emirates films world’s longest commercial?
You’ve seen the world’s biggest billboard. Could this be the world’s longest commercial? Emirates airlines just launched nonstop service from Dubai to São Paulo, a flight that takes 14 hours and 40 minutes. To promote the route, they filmed a Brazilian guy named Fernando Ferreira talking about his home country, nonstop, for 14 hours and 40 minutes straight. “No breaks, no cuts, no edits, no cheating,” Ferreira insists. That’s the trailer posted above. You’re welcome to subject yourself to the whole thing at NonstopFernando.com. It’s just like a 30-second spot, only 1,760 times as long. Even fast-forwarding through it will take you several hours. |

Jeebus. I've been living in Brazil for the last 20 or so years. I know how some brazilians just love to talk. But this guy outdid himself.
Mind you, this comercial doesn't seem very interesting. Maybe it is for like about...2 minutes or so.
Anyway, peace.
