WOW. Fucking great. Finally a new ad for the economist.

In case you can't see what the hell is going on, these are a bunch of small plastic hotels from Monopoly suggesting you will have great skill in managing business.

Excellent. And 9 comments so far without even one irritating "done before". Pray it has not been done before.

This is great.

Lerastaschtroumpf's picture 23 pencils

Great idea but very very difficoult to understand.

Wordnerd's picture 6617 pencils

ok, i'll risk to enrage the mob:
this does not compare to the older economist ads. this is just boasting and so overexagerated, it totally lacks the style of the brand. i don't think it is smart either. now kill me

Thanks for the help :-(, Chava.

cp's picture 354 pencils

passable as long as the linkage to monopoly is recognizable

Guest's picture

Great only after the explanation. It's really hard to decode it, so I don't think that it had really worked
