WAS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME!

Couldn't be more agree.
I saw this one coming from miles away...

Le Douche's picture

ok we get it already!...China bad, U.S. good.

another ad for the sheep

What does the US have to do with this ad?

for sure!
there are so many sheep!

Le Douche's picture

sorry i should retract that U.S. comment and put, The West

Hey Le Douchebag;

The West IS good. The Chinese government IS bad. You should thank the deity of your choice that you live the kind of life that allows you the luxury of being bored by the very question.

Le Douche's picture

first... people need to stop with the whole "le douche bag" thing, its not original. Every time someone disagrees with me thats how the reply ALWAYS starts.

second...guy... the more you study and understand the huge game of Chess the world is, and ideas you have aren't your own then you can comment. If you are involved in the industry, how could you not understand the shaping of public opinion?

so before you reply to this, go youtube search a movie called the Century of Self. it breaks this down for you. It will spoon feed you so you can grasp WTF i am saying

Le Douchebag;

Our society isn't perfect, but when all you do with your freedom is exercise the lazy, moral relativist argument that repressive communist regimes like China's are no better and no worse than the system we enjoy, you are truly earning your nickname.

Step one begins with you realizing that you can buy and watch movies like 'Century of the Self', you can go to a Noam Chomsky lecture, you can march down the street with an asinine Bush=Hitler placard, and suffer no repercussions.

You are free to be a true Douchebag who's completely lost sight of the fact that he's free to be a douchebag. The west is great. Too bad it produces legions of spoiled children who don't appreciate it.

Hey Douchebomb;

If America doesn't exist, does Youtube exist? Do Trey Parker and Matt Stone exist? Hells no, mofo!
So you defeat your own argument just by making your argument. Someday, in a few years, if you grow up, you'll probably develop a modicum of self-awareness, and you won't be able to believe that you ever posted statements like the ones you've posted here. Plus, all your friends will have arrived at the same point in life, so it'll be easy, you'll just have to keep going along with the crowd, just like you're doing now, because you're essential spineless and incapable of independent thought.

"someday, in a few years".... i hope to hell your not a copywriter

im tired talking back and forth about this on AOTW...if you have any further right-wing nut job banter you would like to bombard me with....please send all inquiries to le_douche@yahoo.com.

but i doubt this place is somewhere we should keep this thread going...i wanted to keep it at a couple of comments on my end, but you continue to wave the flag of brainwashed ignorance.But before we chit chat over e-mail....I'll give you some homework to get started, so you understand this whole "Mass Influence" thingy...baby steps...ill leave links to video, so you don't have to read.

Century of Self

this should get your started....I expect a full summary of what you've learned.....double spaced, 12pt font

I'm a right wing nutjob? Thanks for confirmation that I kicked your ass in this debate.

I gather that well-reasoned, articulate arguments make you insecure. I can understand that. You're a featherweight.

You seem to remain oblivious to the irony of supporting your moral relativist argument that the west is no better than China with links to Youtube clips. I think the problem may be not that you're naive, but that you're just too mentally dim. It's probably genetic.

You have the luxury of equating real political oppression and denial of freedom (China) with a saturated media culture (the west), and you're enough of a douchebag to do it. It's an insult to the millions of people who really do suffer, douchebag.

Le Douche's picture

jesus.... look who drank a red bull and got out his Thesaurus.

dude crawl up out of your own ass, pop a xanax, watch a flick...i left wonderful links to them...develope your own ideas...maybe even learn something.

its not so much about the "Debate" as you call it, its kinda like.......

when your girl is bitching at you, no matter if shes wrong, regardless she wants to keep arguing. SO after a while her voice starts sounding like a naggin bitch, so you ignore her, get your keys, and leave to go to the tittie bar. Meanwhile, she stays home and watches re-runs of Friends..... mad, cuz you didnt care WTF she had to say after you made your point.

so dude, turn off the TV, grab your 1's and meet me at the tittie bar.

What's that got to do with the fact that you can't support your argument that there is no difference in quality of government between China and the west?

Listen, next time you're on the wrong end of the most prolific beat-down in the history of the internet because you're a lazy know-nothing with uninformed opinions and a general lack of character, just write, "Hey, I got nothing." It saves everybody time.

Le Douche's picture

being loud and long winded doesn't make your right, it makes you loud and long winded.

write a blog dude.

Okay, at this point, you've entirely abandoned your argumentative position, and you're simply protesting my talent. What can I say? Nobody said life is fair, and everybody thinks you're a moron.

Next step: cancel your internet subscription, get a library card, and study hard until you're able to set down at least one salient point. Then, contact a lawyer, and sue the school board that is responsible for your woeful dearth of analytical ability.

GOOD

run amnesty, run!

:))))

>>> Designed to be signed...

I wanna see how long it will take for the chinese to start going crazy on this thread.

Good one!

olympic has became a freaky for those amnesty people to win something.

Yawn.

And since when does China execute athletes?

Since you became a literalist.

Le Douche's picture

since joeybear was a little keyboard propaganda bitch

I carry no particular brief for keyboards. I just hate tyrannical thuggish governments and the spoiled mental midget children who can't distinguish between good and evil.

Also, I always wonder whether guys who call other guys 'bitch' want to fight them, or fuck them.

show smile to china,OK? china is the victim in 100 years history...

China is victim of the epically murderous Chairman Mao and his bloodthirsty, power-crazed commie thug successors.

Le Douche's picture

and we are victims of your anti social behavior

Done in februari by Dutch creatives:
http://www.jongehonden.nl/modules/work/werk_groot/493520748.jpg

And this one is correct. China doesn't execute athletes.

You sound like some dumb Dutch creative who is only in Advertising to go nuts in Cannes Lions every year, drink Gin & Tonics, pick up young girls on the beach (especially Danish or French ones), pretend that you are actually creative, when in reality you'd fit 10 times better in the account department or in the reception.

Love,

your friends in Denmark.

Especially Danish girls indeed. They are to easy.

Wow. Someone is rather touchy today.
If an advert is done, then an advert is done.

Sorry, I miss them...

FarFromFlorida, you're a cunt. I only created an account on AOTW to tell you that. Seriously. I've only been member for about 6 minutes and I did it all for you. You even inspired my username. I'm fully aware that by calling out the fact that you're a total wanker i'm only sinking to your level but you have a certain doucheness that I couldn't resist stomping. First of all cock, I'm not sure what you're CD would think of your dumb ass recreating a concept that's been done, but mine would be pissed. That's all our dutch friend was saying––that this idea has already been done, asshole.

Second, all of us shoot for Cannes every year you mammoth loser. With the exception of you I guess. Enjoy those local Addy awards you mediocre pussy.

Third, I think you're stupid. I think you're stupid because you think our dutch friend is somehow more flawed than you because he apparently likes to "drink Gin & Tonics, pick up young girls on the beach (especially Danish or French ones)" What? That sounds awesome. I guess you're gay too.

Lastly, I can't believe that you would ever be trusted to write copy. You write like shit…"who is only in Advertising to go nuts in Cannes Lions every year" So you think that our dutch friend is in advertisng to go crazy inside of the actual award (the cannes lion) they hand out in cannes? It's just called cannes. Not cannes lions. idiot. I'm a much better writer than you and I'm an art director.

FarFromGoodWriter, suck it you prick.

Le Douche's picture

man those reflections on that one are horrible

ahpitt's picture

This is really sensitive to Chinese.

Yes I like it.

GOOD ONE!!!

Eva

It's so bad for me,Do you truly and deeply understand China?

I'm a Art Director of china,I wanna say that the agency which created this idea is really really stupid...they don't know china, It's shameful to talk about a country when you don't understand it... It's sadness of the Ads of the world....

你母亲了个八字~
FCUK tbwa FCUK DDB!

hey ivan, how did a six year old child get an account here on ads of the world? i'm refering of course to neptune16.

abhishake.das's picture

What? Neptune, focus dude focus. Really!

I know even you have a opinion too, but opinions are like assholes, everyone has one. And bro, your's stinks rotten.

And what's the amnesty record for Hungary that created an ad about China? I 'm now waiting for a Chinese agency to do a press ad about Roma's deplorable situation in Hungary.

No speaking right without investigation!

Exactly.

http://mount-kailash.com/china/china-folter.htm

But you are right, i don't see guns.

The DDB guys don't read the news about what happened with TBWA in China?

http://www.campaignindia.in/news/tbwa_worldwide_disowns_china_human_ri...

Well, to be honest: I DON'T GIVE A SHIT if Chinese people go crazy on this.
I this case, there's only one painful truth.

Love it!

where's the one with the monk being speared with a javelin?

Love it!

How do you say 'Wir haben es nicht gewusst' in Chinese?

我們不知道

Gut.

Amnesty International,you can achieve nothing but provoke Chinese people and make them more nationalistic...which is the CCP want to see

Claire Sun, not everyone is as enamoured of/intimidated by the Chinese Communist Thug government as you are. So you might want to cool your indignation and meditate upon that.

Le Douche's picture

fuck off joeybear....you got something to say about everyone's opinion that's different from your own on this thread.....u got an agenda guy...cuz here isnt the place to promote it....you should take my advise and get that blog go'n, and kick rocks...

peace

If I had a blog, I would have less time to come here and kick your ass all over the yard, douchebomb.

Not that embarrassing the hell out of you in an argument is much of a challenge. You're so intellectually ill-equipped, you can't distinguish between the words 'advise' and 'advice'. You are a walking, typing embodiment of the decline of educational standards in the United States.

So please, take my 'advice', and get Mick your corner-man to throw in the towel, because there's blood and teeth all over the ring, and they're not mine. Furthermore, I strongly 'advise' you, in the future, never to bring a popgun brain to a howitzer fight.

Here is something else China should be proud of. http://shanghaiist.com/2008/07/18/the_racist_games.php

nice. :)

I'm sure the USA is not far behind on that record.

Even if they're far behind, we all know what's going on in Guantanamo.

We know what's going on In Guantanamo Bay, because we have a somewhat free press. In Guantanamo Bay, the U.S. is holding people prisoner who want to force you to live under Islamic law, render non-Islamic worship illegal, force non-Muslims to pay heavy taxes and live as second class citizens, and make all the women wear garbage bags and head coverings.

That's what's going on in Guantanamo, Charlie Brown.

Le Douche's picture

your a effing retard

like a fricken donkey "NO NO NO EEEYAHH EEYAHH EEYAHH!"

You're not alone, Le Douchebag. Turning to alcohol is not an uncommon refuge for the thousands who get torn to shreds in internet forum arguments every day. They feel like the whole world just watched as they were unceremoniously ripped a new one, size XL, by someone of superior intellect, knowledge, and argumentative skills, and gulping down vast quantities of numbing, mind-obliterating booze seems like the only thing that will give solace in their extreme embarrassment.

But it doesn't have to be this way. Many organizations, such as Alchoholics Anonymous, are ready to help. Staffed with volunteers who've been where you've been, drinking in the afternoon because they're complete and utter losers and have nothing better to do, vomiting into sinks in library washrooms, carrying the shameful memory of some epic ass-kicking they received at the hands of someone far superior to them in every way, they're ready to help you salvage some shred of dignity from what's left of the tragic, massive highway wreck of the soul that is your life.

They can help you get the help you need, so that the rest of your life doesn't necessarily have to be the completely forgettable waste of time, money, and oxygen that the first few decades have been.

Call them. Reach out. Get help. That huge new bunghole I ripped you in front of everyone will probably never go away, but that doesn't mean you have to spend the rest of your life being a total embarrassment to your family, whose name you disgrace each and every time you type something or open your mealy mouth.

Le Douche's picture

For a guy I barely know, you have allot to say about alcohol, my bunghole, and my mouth. I dont know if this is your way of coming "out" to everyone, or your trying to come on to me.

abhishake.das's picture

USA is not far behind. It is far ahead.
Vietnam, Japan, Korea, USSR, Afghanistan, Iraq, Cuba, Guatemala, Africa...

The list continues...

It's shocking to me how many racist comments there are here, in relation to comments actually focused on the work itself. It's amazing you can get any creativity at all out of such narrow minds.

Yes, let's all attack the Chinese, the Dutch, the Hungarians, the Germans, whomever else has opinion different from our own. That'll make our creative work better!

Disgusting.

'Racist comments' here? Show me!

I'm going to assume you either don't know what a racist comment looks like or you don't care. Either way, I'm not going to waste my time trying to explain it. You either see racist comments here or you don't. And I do. And I think its sad because this forum should be about the work, not about the people that made it.

The definition of a racist comment is a comment made which 'XL' disagrees with.

Le Douche's picture

the definition of a mouth breather is Joeybear

If I'm a mouth breather, you must be on life-support, because as anyone who reads this forum can see, you are the red-headed stepchild of this particular exchange of ideas. Utterly crushing you in exchanges is kind of like beating the hell out of a midget. It's easy to do, there's really no challenge in it, people don't think it very sporting of me, but boy, it sure feels great. And the longer the beating continues, the better it feels. It's the beat-down gift that just keeps on giving.

Oh my god, and on top of that you guys put the hungary flag TWICE!!!
HORRIBLE, SHAME ON YOU!

That second sentence on the ad doesn't make sense. It's fragmented.

Neil Levy's picture

i agree with XL. it's all about the work since none of us are running any of our respective countries. but maybe through advertising we can use whatever talents we have to change things in some way for the better in any country. and to be fair to the chinese, we should start in our own backyards first and then work outward.

Okay, Neil I looked in my backyard and I don't see any executed political prisoners, or people in slave work camps for the crime of subscribing to a non-state approved religion, and I didn't see any tanks rolling over and crushing student protesters.

So, I'm ready to work outward now, okay?

Le Douche's picture

we should roll a tank over this blowhard above me

'Blowing' and 'hard'. You've finally found an area where no one could dispute your expertise.

The Chinese government executes a lot of people. This ad calls them on it. How is that racist? Don't hide the truth behind your cries of racism. It's good damn pathetic.

"This ad calls them on it." So the Chinese gov't will stop executions because of the ad? so naive.
This kind of ad can only make chinese people angry and become more nationalistic or even racist.
If one day Chinese are racist and against all the western people, you should know whose fault it is.

Okay, then. Should we just ignore how corrupt and unjust the Chinese government is, because drawing attention to their faults will annoy them and cause them to be 'racist' (???) against the west, and that will be our fault for pointing it out to them?

Have you ever sat down and thought about what you think about things?

Le Douche's picture

well, apparently you sit down and type too much about people who disagree with you on these things, maybe you should take up sand art, or ultimate Frisbee.

Nah, utterly dominating you on this forum is the best hobby I could ask for.

To clarify: I was not referring to the ad as racist. I was referring to some of the dim-witted comments (which, incidentally, had nothing to do with the ad itself, but rather were either aimed at the people who made the ad or the other people who commented on it.)

Hellsing15's picture

slowclap! its a good one...well done!

This ad tells us that all the western nations are paradise, right?
School killers have rights to execute other kids, right?
Wake up, guys! Let's talk about how to stop the world record of murder!

Um, no, this ad doesn't tell us that western nations are paradise. This ad says that China executes people.
