Please! You guys kill me with this Cannes crap. It's nice but I doubt it's all THAT!

Well Pennypacker, it's on the Cannes shortlist, so watch this space.

Me? Eat my words? (you don't know me very well do you?) Look, It's not as if I said it sucked, therefore I stand by what I said. Again, it's nice. But for me, it ain't all THAT! When I think of Cannes I think of an EXTREMELY high standard. The epitome of creativity. And for me these just don't reach that elusive peak. Much more deserving stuff out there in my opinion.

Is the humor in this one that they're not getting a bootlegged alcohol machine instead?

This one makes sense. The others... not so much.

I like the little details, like the guy holding a knife behind his back (only thing is it should have looked more homemade) and the two guys holding hands >.<. Funny as hell.

And no creative180, the humour is still that this is a group of people you dont want hyped on massive energie.

I realy like these, they are different from every other energie drink.

Sorry. I should have added some kind of emoticon to denote sarcasm.

Power Horse is an energy drink. AGREED! This campaign has visual strength, it is humerous and is a fresh looking idea.But it has a serious problem also.In all the 3 ads the final outcome after using power horse is release of negative energy-- like a massive brawl in the jail... unruly kids in the class room and so on... Conclusion.The same concept could be formulated to show the release of positive energy, and that would do a world of good for the product in the long run. The last Ad works even without the hidden knife or holding hands. This campaign has a short, fast burning life. HOW LONG CAN POWER HORSE SURVIVE IN THE MARKET WITH THE IMAGE OF A TOTAL TROUBLE MAKER???
