Sony Widescreen TV: Blue couch

this ad is direct copy of the thomson wide screen tv ad. i don't remember the agency but ad has already been appeared in the one show in late 90s. i really can't understand why people do such stupid things for publicity and the person who publish this also does't have any knowledge of what is happening in the advertising industry?

Nice one but sad to hear that its been copied

Okay, adding a different child and changing the color of the sofa does NOT make a different ad.

Plus, it's been done with the exact same execution, sans child. If you're going to copy, at least make the art direction better than the original...

I am sorry, I was still a student in 2000, I did not read the works which you talked about so this was not duplicated, we original, just striking of the thought, begin my career after 2000, I am very tired of the advertising information, so create only according to my own thought.

sheesh...

Done, done, done, years ago. Please be original

Is it just me or is that child an unnecessary and complicating element?

if u cant beat the original, dont do it

errr.. im not a professional in this line of work, but i really like to evaluate advertising arts. So pls excuse my thoughts.

Good point bknowlden, I agree you don't need the kid at all.

I reckon China will have caught up to us by the Beijing Olympics.
