Im shocked this won the in Cannes (even the GP). Done better before:

I think this is the clearest case of proof that the Cannes award show sucks!

Its just a big money machine with a poor jury, sad.

very similar to a nickelodeon (i think) campaign not too long ago... about keeping kids entertained, or they will be up to their pranks (pouring soap powder in the swimming pool, tying somebody's shoelaces together etc)

i think these are well executed, but the nickelodeon one was nicer imho

Reminds me of the work done for Nickelodean a few years back. Think it was something like "keep them occupied or else"

benefit said in the headline which incidentally looks like a tagline; the total oppsoite of a benefit in visual.
