good ad!

Indeed.

I like that there is some copy with it, not just a visual.

Tea is from China. We get it.

It's not about which country it's from. You obviously don't get it. Don't worry though - we are here to help.

I didn't think I'd need to spell this out, but what I was getting at is that it shouldn't be about what country it's from but about the tea.

Your reply was petty beyond belief.

nice.

It IS about the tea and how rare it is.

Your stupidity is beyond belief.

What?

The whole red colour pallete and the image of a temple, really scream 'rare' to me. Good thing that line is there to tell us what the point of the ad is.

Seems you need to go have a wee lay down

Temple. Emperor. Rarest of China's rare teas.

Easy to miss. Dipshit.

What's your point?

You must have a point. I know you and you don't roll out of bed for anything less than a brain fart.

C'mon, what was it about me saying "Tea is from china, we get it" wound you up so much?

Because you wanted to say it and then I beat you to the punch but you'd already told your mum and dad that you were going to be posting this killer comment on adosoftheworld.com and they should look out for it because it's totally dope?

I didn't think I would have to justify this post out of all the other kack I spout here. Why this? You do this one?

They could have said it was rare without a visual that only says 'China'.

Why slim-bo, did this get to you?

Did you read it wrong?

Dunno - for some reason you seem a bit more wound up than I.

You must be soooo much fun to have around.

dontquoteme's picture

look, its clear you've missed interpreted the ad, its cool, King slim is cool with it too, its just that his had a hard day at work.
;)

If you take the copy off the image, what you are left with is a visual that says "chinese", not rare.

Red background, temple, it's not missinterpretation more a lack of imagination when it came to coming up with the idea.

Slim just likes it when we bicker. Makes him feel alive.

Have you two finished flirting yet....

Nice. But I guess the execution is better than the copy.
______________
In God I trust

again, i'm not getting it. what's the point?

so so......

Im confused -- we got slim and slim pickens arguing with each other...

feels like an abbott and costello routine...

Question is, Who's on first?

More slim and slim junior. Goooooooo Slimmmmmmm.
Oh, and I hate this advert... it looks like dental floss.. anyone remember the landrover one with the line :hard to reach places"?

Drunk Dave and Slim, sitting in a tree, B-U-M-M-I-N-G. ha ha ha

Hope you can take a joke man. I'm not trying to start anything.

Got my hands full with slim-bo.

He's this close to asking me out. I can feel it.

God if you could offend me I'd be very suprised. You two play nicely now, there're kids watching this show.
