Nice attention to freaking detail! Very much relevant too. There's a very thin line between genius and utter stupidity, and this just might be something extremely special. Well done...

Not even twenty tongue rings could (beep) with my speech...

Well done? This is a disgrace.

The exact same ad was done for Heineken for soccer years ago.

This is just a blatant copy.

I would agree with u if I saw the same idea before but - i didnt. Therefore - well done from my point of view.

I've seen this particular execution for Heineken something about five years ago. I'm curious if this is the „old” one or this is a not intended repetition.
Besides this, this is excellent.

Ok, so it's an old advert. But I think it's a good advert.

This is too forced. What´s the emotion or truth in that?

I hate when this happens, actually I hate ads of the world, because now it happens all the time!!!
Very nice ad, amazing ad direction, this proves Mr Toscani isnt such a hot photographer. Hurray for the singapore dudes!

By the way, what is the "servicing" item on the credits? does Mr Craig Mapleston served as what exactly?

This nearly won a Gold ADCN Lamp in the Netherlands years ago, but was rejected because it was done earlier in the Uk.

The other (dutch) one was made around 1998 or earlier, so there you go with your 'proof'. It was made by PPGH/JWT Amsterdam (now Ubachs Wisbrun JWT) and it was made by Peter Hebbing and Romke Oortwijn if i am not mistaken.

Never argue with an idiot. He'll drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Hmmm, maybe a little too subtle, slow, and the payoff is unrewarding.
