The paintstick paints quick?? That is or the most terrible line ver, or the worst translation. The concept is so so, but I haven't seen that much from South Africa, so I really don't ought to have an opinion.

that must be some strong-ass fly to no get squashed.
worst line i heard today...for sure.
Oh minimum...what makes you think it is translated? Do you think they speak swedish in south africa?Duuhh!
You must be american.
no, but they do speak a form of broken down Dutch.

Who doesn't? :)
Actually, it's Afrikaans and is a own distinct language. Not a form of Dutch. Originated from Dutch, yes.

Not sure of the line but I like the concept. Visually interesting.
When I painted the stripe on my wall, I made sure to paint over evey particle that was in the way. I wanted to immortalize the crud. Wish a fly had made it's way in the path of my brush.
I like it, good concept
great concept, fantastic, nice insight and idea, simnle and nice art direction

Sony Bravia Ball's line was 'colour like no other' also really good, rhyming can be cool!
For some reason the product demo/drawing at the bottom really bothers me. I think it's the conflicting directions between the arrows and the direction the painter has to go.
yes, their pointing upwards (right) when they should point in the opposite direction.
actually they are correct. they are not illustrating the rolling motion but the syringe action of the paint stick's tube.
Rainman wins!!
Hey, by the way, I'm with you on that Kmart thing...
These ads are pretty damn cool. Simple and clear. Who's the fool on the second page of comments who thinks they are for fast drying paint? Wakey, wakey.
Nice. Front of minder, but nice.
>>>> That's not an ad. THIS is an ad.
So if I look at the diagram... I can only get a centimeter or 20 done each time I refill the bloody bugger? Could take a while then.
