abe chutiye 'adfreak06' [Plz translate the slang] don't just type because you can...............

"chutiye" is similar to calling a person a cunt or woman's vagina, etc.
btw has this [Plz translate the slang] been added by an AOTW comment reviewer? just curious

First of all, your english is awful. Hope it's not your first language.
Second, these are way better than the one you posted.
Third, while thinking, it's not hard to use the same approach.
Fourth, leave the account department. Then, we'll talk about advertising.

Think it for a while.
Then, in anytime, it will come to your mind as an idea.

100% different.

Air france has environment

Air france has humor

Air france actually has art direction.

This is a bad portrait of a diverse family (who don't connect with each other at all). Doing nothing interesting. accompanied by useless copy.

How in the world is this considered advertising?

May as well just write the name of the airline on the side of a 1982 toyota, & drive around the local airport.

AMEN and well said. Where's the beef? (snicker, snicker)

but, what is the great idea in it? and it is the direct copy of an air franc campaign done by euro rscg, spain and that campaign was much much more better and clearer. you want people to believe that bobby pawar and joono simon hasn't seen this campaign? why copy an idea and screw it? do some thing on your own my friends.

Forget whetehr it's a copy cat ad or not, it's not even a decent idea in the first place. Cannes sucks.

Guest's picture

Its brillant! the thought is sooo simple and real..
the so called air france ad is looks pathetic withthe most obvious photoshop-ed head work ...
theres no way any CD in the world would release that respectfully as an ad!!

mudra guys u people are rocking here with a lot of bad/dirty words in malayalam.

since ur Executive Creative Director is also a mallu,
and its shame on you.

keep it up.

Guest's picture

it shows one thing,,,,that all you white people go horny over black chicks and end up giving birth to brown ones...dark chocolate+white **** =brown babies...jai ho

Guest's picture

i hope u r brown !

Guest's picture

the idea's allright...it's been done before...not just for air france...i myself did similar ads for jet airways...it's not really a cannes winner...it's more like a scapegoat when ur client servicing dude and your cd want you to hammer out some ads really really fast...coz the client's breathing down their neck...hehe

Guest's picture

air france ko mar goli ............. jai ho mera bharat jai hind . mudra will rocks..... chalo chalo .....

Guest's picture

guys, v have to debate whether it is a copied ad or not? dont bring out racism here!! and to be genuine , i think this is a clear copied idea from AIR FRANCE

Guest's picture

mudra - really a copy cat ad agency

Guest's picture

great

the girl in the ad is frida.......my friend's classmate :P '

Forget all the comments, complaints, criticisms, suggestions, abuses being thrown about here.

I was just amused because of the irony with respect to this brand.

Air India is in a heavy debt of 4000 crores who are not able to pay their staff their salaries on time. They are requesting the government for a bailout.

And then you see this ad. It just cracks me up!

As for the ad, I think the concept's sweet!

kbx911's picture 845 pencils

ahahahha true, so true, i wonder if the agency or the client paid the hefty cannes entry fee for this ad

You Are What You Expect

Bull shit ad...Promoting Racial Discrimination...will be apt for an Euro-African Airline acquiring an Indain airline.

Guest's picture

HAHAHAHAHHA, Knowing this is a creative professionals website, these brainless copy cat mudra idiots put this ad here

Live with Passion

Guest's picture

You guys are fighting a bloody holy war !!!...... But in advertising the work has to be original..... thats basic...!! Its of no use assuming people wouldn't have seen that or this ad.... after all its a small world... Please be original. there are lots of guys looking upto you guys!!

pretty clever! good one

Guest's picture

Just because you show a woman in dark skin she is supposed to from India? Irrespective of whether the person's from Mumbai or Bangalore, he/she is dark! Wow! I'm SHOCKED that despite being an Indian agency you cast stereotypes like these. There are "white" Indians also you know? But obviously it wouldn't have suited your convenience.

I dont work on the creative side. I am perhaps the least creative of all living creatures on earth. But after going through some of the ads here, I think if these idiots can make their living in an area that is supposed to be creative, I could have tried my luck too.
