Yeah, a little bit...

If I live in a countryside, and I know that everyday at a certain time, this asshole millionaire up the mountain will drive his Mercedes very fast to where I hang my clothes to dry and blow my clothes away... I think I can come up with a better solution than that picture.

Sometime creative come up with good idea that should have been used for a different product.

--good idea is enemy of great idea

The Actros is a Mercedes truck. But you are right.

One day there will be a marvelous signature here. For the moment there is this.

90's ideas. stop doing that

Nice ad, creative

Its only words...'s picture

The rope seems to be emergin from the clouds...guess ths thin on wheels is disturbib the Gods whil they r dryin clothes....?????????????

Funny. Like it.

Sorry, but I don't like it, the picture looks bad, I don't undestand why they put a ferrari logo on the shirt, and the whole concept seems forced. Plus it doesn't live up to Mercedes standards.

Isn't this a bit forced?

its funny. the ferrari shirt because of the competition mercedes vs ferrari in formula 1.

You see it and you understand it's talking about speed.
I like the competition with Ferrari: good joke for a van.
It is forced? Maybe.
It is wrong? Don't think so.

"I could have killed 'em all, I could kill you. In town you're the law, out here it's me. Don't push it. Don't push it or I'll give you a war you won't believe."

Well done!

Nice way to tell it is fast, like it. But the ferrari logo on t-shirt is another message, this is confusing.

waiting for ferrari ad

the ferrari is already arrived, the driver went home, he washed his tshirt and he anged it outside to watch the slow mercedes van arriving...
maybe...

Somewhat contrived.

just kill the ferrari shirt this is the forced part.. other than that it is cool.. VW Golf have a similar tv ad.. no the same though..

at first glance it looks like its a ferrari ad.

hamra ke kuch nahikhey bujaat

I like it. Of Course that might be because I watch Formula One Racing with my boyfriend (when we can catch it) So the Ferrari shirt comes off as funny to me as Mercedes and Ferrari are big rivals in F-1 racing.
