I laughed out loud when I read this comment, my sentiments entirely, fair play to the agency for having the 'balls' to upload it, give em a big hand ;-)

Looks like an erect penis. Probably on purpose. I guess the underlying message here was, "Our retouching will leave you f**ked in the head!"

i just feel bad for the retoucher

the only way for this to be worse is to make the guy hitler...seriously, WTF??

I'm thinking George Bush.

Guest's picture

Funny you say that. The original comp had Hitler in it, but then we asked ourselves: is Hitler with a sweet eye-rection too much? Are we taking this too far?

It would work for KY campaign: "Oh my God! It slip through the other side!"

Funny in a 'schoolboy giggle' way - but an awful, awful ad. Should have stuck this on the wall of your office.. in the 'stupid ideas' section. Not on the interweb.

I find it imposssible to believe that DDB Canada would bother actually making it.

If you experience an eye erection lasting more than four hours...

Just what we needed — another penis joke. And actually not a very good showcase for retouching talent either.

If I had to photo manipulate a phallus--or even try and push an idea such as this through the conceptual stage--I would quit. What confuses me is that this Digital Imaging group has some pretty nice pieces. I guess it goes to show that a nice image can only go so far if there is no idea to push it. I wonder if the people who were behind this ad and idea drive around in a car with no tires.

That is the retoucher looking at his own work. When I met him, he seemed so arrogant and into himself that I'm sure his entire body goes erect when gawks at his portfolio!

Guest's picture
Guest

By the looks of it DDB came up with the idea and not the retoucher, and as gross as it may be it seems to be doing a pretty good job at getting attention. I have also met the retoucher and did not get that impression, if anything it's comments like this that are arrogant.

Guest's picture
Guest

I thought it was funny, but I did it. So I guess that would make sense.

Guest's picture
Guest

The Brief said something like this:

Make something so bad and gross that it will make everybody in AOTW mad so then we can laugh at the comments they write.

Okay, so you've shown us a concept for eye-popping imagery which was really gross. Please don't do a sequel to this for 'eye opening' imagery. I will be equally disgusted.

Crap-o-la. A two minute job, just like the time it takes those DDB frat boys to play 'cum on a cookie' when they aren't coming up with shit like this. Not worth the electricity used to make it.

Not so much disgusting as just plain pointless. An insult and embarrassment to DDB Canada.

Guest's picture

I think its funny. I also think it's ironic that all these people putting this ad down for being a sophmoric dick joke, are resorting to sophmoric dick jokes themselves.

At least it got some attention.
