Who cares? The Macrae brothers made the final shootout on PROJECT GREENLIGHT.Great work guys.
Those are ads are pure filth and the authors of them should burn in hell.
Pathetic. It's easy to get featured on the news. What's diffcult is doing it with an idea that is well thought out and relevant.
Crap.
Caught the report. Seems some punters think the fighters look like young girls. Infants talking dirty offends some follk - prudes.
this stuff is lame
I'm with anonymous. It's lame. "Smash your damn face in"? palease... the cut-price voiceover artist is the worst part.Brand hatred anyone?
Lazy, sensationalist rubbish. "First thought" style of advertising.
Well i like it,but maybe i'm in the target audience .22 and watching too much late night tv.
Jealousy is so ugly. Way to fuck off the man M!$H@. Andy
What's worse is that 'Let Tekken Decide' is actually an English idea with much better ads - arguments in life decided by fighting in-game.For the record, I could get my cock out in the State Library and I'd get on Today Tonight, it doesn't mean it's a good idea.
I agree with 7.49. Don't praise this work because it got "attention". It got attention because it is irrelevant rubbish.
Have to agree with 7:49. just cause you ruffled some feathers ain't no reason to call Lynchy, as if you now have evidence of how brilliant and edgy your work is. It's pretty lame stuff when push comes to shove.
Very lazy first thought shite.Think harder. Then go for a drink. Not the other way round.
To me it seems like the client had no money to make any ads in which case these are decent.Will they pick up? i don't think so.
I think they did extremely well with the budget and it beats the pants of some of the other ads on here.I heard that it was cut together on i-movie. Well done Mish.B.
Don't be so harsh you lot,it's not that bad,in fact i like it.They tried to do something different and used the media well.
That voice-over cracks me up. I love it. Dave, haven't seen you for a while, mostly because I'm a hack and drowning in leave-behinds, but keen for a tin soon.u Lej.Paul.ps, seen Pippa about?
