Very clever. If anybody doesn't like this its because they take the ad literally.

I'm sorry, but i don't like it. I'm not quick in saying "it's not logical" but on this one it bothers me a lot

I love it. The payoff is well worth the extra few seconds it'll take some people to get.

I like to think there's an acceptable number of casualties for ads. If you're always doing work that everyone will easily get, it usually means you're doing bland work.

No such thing as "too clever." Keep raising the bar, folks. Good concept.

I like it,
especially because it reminds me of one of my favorite childhood books:
"The big brag" by Dr. Seuss.

"You will not have creative superiority over me!"

It's all been done before.

This ad is interesting, and you instantly get that it's for binoculars.
If you want to read into the ad more...fine.

These days advertising is so cryptic, you sometimes need to examine an ad for 5 minutes before you get it.
Who are these judges at awards shows anyway...some kind of a CSI team?

Hey Chermine,
un ancien élève à toi te fais un coucou de Düsseldorf. J´espère que tout va bien.
En tout cas, pour faire une bonne annonce comme ca, tout doit bien aller ;-)

It should be "farther," not "further."
