why on earth would you ever want ANOTHER matchbox campaign in your book? to me, it says: "i can't do the hard stuff, i'll just make ads that make jokes about small toys - matchbox cars are small. flashlights are bright. knives are sharp. post-its help memory. tabasco is hot. see how hard this stuff is? this is why lame creatives flock to (or create on their own) easy assignments - because they're EASY

Yawn, another scam campaign from singapore. Surprise surprise the CD is Todd 'Gary Larson' McCracken.

Oh, and this has been done for cars and won big. back to the next campaign for torches or amnesty or FHM boys

Isn't this just the military version of the award winning kids in the cars campaign!? Sequels are never as good as the first.

Children + War: Is not a good idea. I've seen better performances of the same idea.

glorifies war in a way, but what the heck. I love F16s!
