The brief told us that the new Subaru sedans were coming hot off the production track. They wanted to introduce these cars in a clever bold way with some seductive art.

Close to a year and this topic is still alive, haha.
If only people took the time it takes to sniff out bad ads to make good ads or help other people make good ads.
Some got the joke, others are clearly oblivious. Kind of a cool experiment though.

Oh my.
Please tell me this is a joke.
I really really hope this is a joke too.
The good thing about this, is that it's never been done.
You know why? Cause it's unimaginably bad.

Hehe, yeah. Of course it's a joke. I just wanted to have some fun with my first post. Sorry you don't like jokes michelangelo...maybe that's why you don't have friends ;)
I'll get more serious from now on. I love this site so I would hate for people to hate me haha.

Gosh. Thanks for wasting everyone's time with your little... joke.
Funny, I was under the impression that this was a forum for professionals and students in the advertising field. Not "look at me!" wankers whose work isnt even worth the time of day.
If you ever decide to get serious about your career, let us all know. Until then, I see a good reason to pass on anything bearing your name, because to you, clearly all of this is just a joke.
Haha my friend you take this so seriously. You act like I made a mockery of all that is advertising. It was a silly little joke. Your precious time viewing the picture took 10 times shorter than your effort of writing that comment.
You are right. My constant barrage of these stupid jokes has led to a pocket-sized credibility on my part. Everything henceforth of my ONE posting is going to be a silly little joke.
I suggest you wipe up those tears and lighten up. You are trying too hard to be offended. Lets just all be friends.
Have a nice day.

I personally enjoyed your crazy post. :)
Thanks for the laugh.
"Assume nothing, question everything."
Friend, if you're going to tell a joke, make it *funny*.
'Nuff said.
Ok Sean. I am sorry for offending you. I'm not trying to make enemies here.
Let me just remind you of this point. Taste is subjective. Citizen found some humor in it. That's what's great about advertising (not saying this is advertising lol)...it's subjective. Can't please everyone.
What's your address my man, Sean. I would like to send you some chocolates or a teddy bear to offer my apologies.

Im gonna save this!
:::J:::
:::J:::

good job man well done
:::J:::
Pure vanguard. This is a whole new concept in Art Direction.
Love it.
I am also new to this site and I have to say that I often browse through the ad's here and a lot of them a quite good. So when I initially saw this ad I laughed, I found it hilarious because it was so damn bad.
Thanks dansheppy52 for the laugh.
And I checked out your website and you have some interesting ideas.
peace.
oh my god! oh my god!
deja fuck
is this subu sold with marijana inhalator?, this ad works pretty good on reggae t shirt!
Looks like bad Paintbrush to me!
logo is a bit big other than that, i think this is perfect.
www.bahonsadvertising.co.uk
I say it's not big enough!! Also, needs lens flares to show how awesome the car is.
lens flares! genius! there is no other word for it simply brilliant suggestion. Comic sans could be a nice typeface for the copy too.
dan i hope your writing all this down.
www.bahonsadvertising.co.uk
noted! I will post the updated ad in the near future!
I'm learning so much from this site!!!

I think you need way more exclamation marks. Double or triple the amount of them, then add lens flares and change to comic sans as suggested, and you're golden!

another golden suggestion! I'm sure, after I update it, I can use this as the sole piece in my portfolio.
All I have to do is saunter on in to a big agency CD, slap it on his desk and walk out. No contact information because I KNOW he will want to find me.

IF THIS WAS A JOKE YOU ARE THE MAN!! CUZ ALL THESE MOFOS THAT COME IN HERE THINK THEY'RE ALL THAT. AND YOU SURE SHOWED THEM HA!
If it wasn't a joke, and of course you'll never admit to it now. You should gently hammer each knuckle bone in your hands so you may never be able to hurt anyone in your attempt at advertising ever agai.
Good joke tho
Pass me that Glitter. I've got Turds to polish
I don't believe in jokes.

This is an old post, no?
Either this was long time published, or long time scrapped. I'm surprised people still comment on it.
Yeah, I am too. It was a joke. Take a look at the subject. It sucks how many people rush on here to attack a bad ad but can't take the same time to apply constructive criticism or congratulations.

YOU MUST BE CRAZY MAN!
The function of man is to live, not to exist.
I shall not waste my days trying to prolong them.
I shall use my time.
this is true beauty, Cannes Grand Prix.
WHAT THE H.....
6 art directors? for that? really?
after seen this i think i can open an agency :-)

Not everything has to be taken seriously, I get where these guys are comming from. In our industry we should enjoy the work we do and not be too overly critical of ourselves and our work.
Good job guys.
dansheppy52 is an energy sucker.
unbelievably creative! see, how much criticism it has attracted!it's good marketing gimmick, i swear...thanx dude.
