What does the US have to do with this ad?

there are so many sheep!

Crisp One's picture 2033 pencils

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

Joeybear's picture 60 pencils

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.

Crisp One's picture 2033 pencils

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

Joeybear's picture 60 pencils

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.

Joeybear's picture 60 pencils

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.

Joeybear's picture 60 pencils

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.

Crisp One's picture 2033 pencils

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.

Joeybear's picture 60 pencils

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.

Crisp One's picture 2033 pencils

Joeybear's picture 60 pencils

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.

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,

you_are_a_dick's picture 24 pencils

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.

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.

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.

Joeybear's picture 60 pencils

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.

Crisp One's picture 2033 pencils

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.

XL's picture 216 pencils

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.

.nl's picture 217 pencils

'Racist comments' here? Show me!

XL's picture 216 pencils

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.

Joeybear's picture 60 pencils

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

Crisp One's picture 2033 pencils

the definition of a mouth breather is Joeybear

Joeybear's picture 60 pencils

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.

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

Neil Levy's picture 316 pencils

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.

neil levy

Joeybear's picture 60 pencils

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.

I love how you pride yourself on being the educated one in this argument, but even now, you are devolving you arguments into toilet humor.

crisis's picture 167 pencils

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.

claire sun's picture 6 pencils

"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.

Joeybear's picture 60 pencils

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?

Crisp One's picture 2033 pencils

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.

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.)

Joeybear's picture 60 pencils

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

vote4pedro's picture 275 pencils

western countries execute nowhere near as many people as china. estimates range from 1000-6000 in 2007. no one knows for sure. it's a "state secret." the closest wester country is the US at 42. the problem is they execute people for even minor crimes like tax evasion. as for the ad, it's pretty expected. give that brief to everyone here and they'll all have the same idea.

Is the combination with this daily activity and the olympics really stupid? I think killing is!
I am sure this ad is a hit, if you see the discussion here.
People concern, that's the value. This is not about Chinese people, this is about their government who despise human rights. Ok, this ad shows the traditional bullet instead of the Death Vans. But this ad is great!!!

For Chinese, you no need to be so angry, coz not all the ppl thinking and doing like these jerks.I believe we are creatives and we all haf our own opinion on those things, just let Jerks think and do whatever they want, The truth and the answer are there, PPl will know by themselves.

PITY TO SEE THIS ADS ON ads of the world, Design should never involved into politic and wars...
Design is bring happy and fun and exited to us. not fighting and angry or agitated.

Guest's picture

You do never know the truth of China, stop libel. Welcome to China and experience the present of China.

Guest's picture

Ok here's the deal. China's government is oppressive. But that's not why these people are concerned. Racial prejudice and fear against the Chinese has been historically documented and people use China's corrupt government as an excuse to attack the Chinese.
Another thing whats wrong the death penalty? the fact that the chinese interfere with people's daily lives, censor the internet, etc., etc., is what makes them oppresive. we execute people in this country to. rightly so, might I add. who here wants there tax dollars to paying for the food and lodging of a kid rapist. not me? that's for damn sure. China should have the right to execute..just not for unreasonable purposes.

also, how come, instead of throwing third grade insults at each other, you people aren't understanding the big picture here? Yes, the Chinese are oppressive and corrupt. but guess what? they are also OUR BIGGEST TRADING PARTNERS. If the west is so holy and good and China is so evil WHY ARE GIVING THEM BUSINESS?!?!?!

The cold war had its bullshit elements of unnecessary paranoia on both sides of the iron curtain, but it least there was an IRON CURTAIN!!!

hate the Chinese? fine. hate them. and untie to stop shipping our jobs oversees to them. savy?

finally there is a sense of irony that people cannot complain about the west because the west is free and your taking it for granted that it is. but if i can't say "America sucks" then is this really a free nation?

these are points none of you are addressing. just though I'd point them out.

Joeybear's picture 60 pencils

Um...you can say 'America sucks'. People do it all the time. They do it on the internet. They do it in the streets. They do it everywhere. Which is why America doesn't suck. Which makes you kind of an idiot for saying it.

p.s. the Iron Curtain wasn't such a hot-shit thing for people caught on the wrong side of it, because things done on that side of it were as bad as what the Nazis did. Worse, if you want to evaluate it purely from a numerical standpoint. Begin by considering the planned famine in the Ukraine, but remember that's just the beginning. And Mao dwarfs both Hitler and the European commies in body count. But it has been fashionable for some time to ignore the victims of the extrem left while worshipping the victims of the extreme right. That is a tragic injustice, but it probably goes a long way in explaining our soft attitude toward civil rights in China. That, and of course, greed at the marketing potential

We were on the right side of that 'cold war' conflict. Communism was as evil as Naziism. Those who don't see the truth of that are woefully mistaken.

I'd love to, but last I heard your mother already had a pimp with a big right hand.

this is a good concept, when you see and ad and think you can come up with something like that than thats a compliment, because you would've liked to come up with something like this.

First of all joeybear(whatever that's supposed to signify), chill the fuck out. You're kinda killing whatever trivial small- time victory you had over crispyone(even more ridiculous) or whatever by getting taunted. You honestly should write a blog man this is a space for advertising. If you have such a strong case, take it somewhere else. Crisp one grow up, man. What are you trying to prove? At least the other guy's trying to prove something. The ADVICE about this space applies to you too. Joeybear we all know only too well about China and have known for ages now but don't you dare side with the American government either, however patriotic you might be. People shout about their hatred for America for a reason, did you ever consider that? You call people ignorant when you have facts wrong yourself. Prisoners in Guantanamo Bay are not only Islamic, they have people who are supposedly "potential enemies of the state" from all over the world- Africa, Eastern Europe, South America, non- Islamic Indians, the list goes on. Not to mention the amount of money your country owes China, or the number of AMERICAN jobs you've let them have. Or the sheer amount of import- export between China and America. These 2 countries trade more than most of the world economy combined and now China's wisened up to it, which is ruining your country's economy further. So do us all a favor, if you are going to propagate some American bullshit, GET A BLOG! And on this site please talk about the ad and not global issues we have enough "unbiased" CNN for that.

Please note I'm not anti- American or pro- Chinese or anything, I just don't like seeing nationalistic comments on a website meant for a global community.

You wrote "don't you dare side with the American government", and "if you are going to propagate some American bullshit", and then you claim you're not anti-American.

Interesting. If you're not anti-American, I'd hate to see somebody who is.

China's human rights record sucks. But if the creatives involved in this scam checked with their management, it would find the thing vetoed real quick. China is the ONLY growth market in advertising right now. In fact there are only two markets in advertising: the US and China. Everything else is a sideshow. And no multi-nat is going to risk a banning order over some crap scam ad.

zia jian wo de hao peng you.

Okay, so as long as there's money to be made, shut the fuck up. Got it!

Guest's picture

hey you dumb idiot if you're in advertising you need to do some serious research before you go running your mouth off...go see something called the Goldman Sachs BRIC Report- the whole world has i dunno how it got past you...BRIC for Brazil, Russia, India, China- the four biggest growth markets of this century and fyi, advertising in the russian and indian market have grown and will continue to grow exponentially more than america or china...so fuck off back to your ignorant chinese job that misinforms you

Guest's picture

hey guy who shut up joey and crispy...where are you from eh?you're contradicting yourself...no harm in telling us you're anonymous anyway...saying shit about one government and barely a line about the other kinda makes you seem like slipped on your own vomit.from china by any chance?or russia, brazil, india maybe?the guy after you is right..."If you're not anti-American, I'd hate to see somebody who is."

Guest's picture

wow this is getting worse...it's been a while since i actually saw an opinion about the ad on this thread...ivan man i don't mean to tell you how to do your job or anything but is there any way we can ban idiots like joeybear, crispone etc who evidently dunno much about advertising and prefer political debates in inappropriate forums?which eventually turn nasty and take a racist, nationalist and homophobic turn?i know i'm a guest too but some of the guests here take it too far...towards the end of the thread one guest even tried to reach neutral ground between those two idiots (Please note I'm not anti- American or pro- Chinese or anything, I just don't like seeing nationalistic comments on a website meant for a global community) and he got shot down coz he criticized one government more than the other (saying shit about one government and barely a line about the other kinda makes you seem like slipped on your own vomit). these dumb shits shouldn't even be discussing governments and their activities here! ADS of the world people!no offense ivan but please, people like me in the ad industry who come here to view ads do not need this

Guest's picture

Homophobia! Racism! Somebody call the wahmbulance! Boo fucking hoo!

Guest's picture

Wahmbulance...lol nice one...come on all you gutless opinionated guests let's have it...nationalities please? i think we'd like to know who's saying wat to whom and in wat context...since the concept of a blog seems to be ancient and it's more important to fight on an ad website....

Wow, it's like the beginning to a cheesy Romcom in here....

"Oh how did we meet? Well it was the funniest thing...... I hijacked this online forum meant for posting comments about advertising to get into this cyber-wrestle to defend my ignorance to Mr Enlightened over here.... THEN we got really heated and yanked our own chains online for MONTHS until we finally decided to get a room, and now we're in luuuuuurve..... yeah, the wedding is next Summer. Where? Oh in America of course!"
