nice

Cool campaign, but are there no other famous athletes besides African-Americans?

Pelé isn't african-american.

In Brazil, we just say he is a black guy.

Thanks for living up to your name "le Douche".

You could always use Larry Bird. Have a picture of a kid laying at the side of the court getting his back fixed, or Ty Cobb or some other fat baseball player. That's what you get when you keep and breed slaves. It comes back to bite you on the ass. If you'd only have carried on doing it a few more generations, there'd be a giant race of Nubian gods, walking about America. How'd you like dem apples?

You should be a comedian Disco Munky. You seem desperate for an audience.

Like advertising is something to take seriously?

Thanks for the Euro, I bought myself some crack. Nice to hear you haven't topped yourself.

Disco Munky's picture 3934 pencils

You bought crack and didn't think I might want to hit that?

Same old Dave..............I've missed you.

My apologies to Brazil, my
contemporary sports history
inst all that it could be.
I wasn't coming off racist.

I was just saying it was people
of the darker pantone color of
pigmented epidermis in all the photos.

:]

Sorry, but I find this whole campaign extremely lame. It's exactly the same idea as last years Gold-winner "Lego - Builders Of Tomorrow". And at least the super-lame Matchbox-campaign, that won Gold this year is also just a bad rip-off of the Lego-ad.

Dear jury-members, what the hell went wrong here?!

you're so right!

I agree that's really uninspiring and obvious. But I think those ads you've mentioned are all better than this campaign. A shame this work won a Lion.

A bit obvious.

Prof's picture 1503 pencils

Too forced, i think.

Quite really.

Kids instead of adults! Cannes last year. Nothing new.

they made some really poor choices at cannes this year. ok, every year.

you can't worry too much about the choices judges make in a show because it will just make you really, really confused. sometimes, you win. sometimes you don't. and you know, in a way, both are irrelevant because if you win, you gotta do more work the next day. and if you lose, you gotta do more work the next day. the only show that matters is your own personal taste and beliefs because ultimately, it's 1000% out of your control how your work does in the other ones. so don't worry about it. do your best and then don't give too much of a shit afterwards.

that said, i don't know if it discredits the work that the notion of using kids isn't new. if you don't like the ad then that's one thing, but the more work you see the more you realize most everything feels recycled in some way or another.

be well,

-neil.
