no, this is what happens, if I would smoke dope:)

so what? the sheet is shaking which isn't scary at all...dont convince me not to drink and drive...this one is just bad.

Yeh!, The drunk people does it again. cheers for this crap..

agreed.

not to mention this would be so distracting if its an out door. I'd crash reading this. not needing to drink. Pathetic.

ideas....30 minutes nahi toh free.

And that's all. Just a cool effect. There's no link at all with driving and drinking and dying and...

I think this would work actually.

Just a shame that they didn't quite credit the japanese guy whom the ad is 'inspired' from.

@kalpesh: they aren't placing it as a billboard.

If u drink&drive, a bad ad happens. So kids... !

I think it happens also if i drink and walk.

There's not a link with driving.

Exactly.

Eeeeuw, 'txt speak' ('U').

Yep. Totally agree with Zekin. This is what happen when u drink. Full stop.

Exactly! And tens of T-shirts have done it better.

This is what happens when you badly want to win another award.

Hahaha, i was scrolling down the first time, so the effect was completely lost.

Made my wonder.. wth.. :P

ABSOLUTE RIP OFF.
The power of One, Comedy Channel. Even down to the colours.
For Christ sake if you are going to rip something off this badly then don’t advertise the fact to 34,000 members. You should never be allowed to work in this business again, or for that matter upload work to this site. Shame on Oglivy. Fuckwits.

Here you go for those who may follow my sentiments.

THIS ONE ROCKS

This is what happens when you are drunk and try to come up with ideas. You steal ideas and think they are your own ha ha ha. Its high time you guys come up with something great and original.

Can we all take a break from creating work for: don't drink & drive, anti-smoking, Wonderbra, World Wildlife Fund, divorce lawyer visiting cards..

what happens will someone explain

What's happens ? I don't understand… (Am I drunk ??)

Is this how you demonstrate seven sheets in the wind.
You guys should be blown away by by your own shit.

Is this how you demonstrate seven sheets in the wind?
You farts need to be blown away by your own shit!

So what if it's a rip off. It's relevant. People in India looking at the ad aint gonna be dissing it cause they've probably never seen the Comedy Central one. In fact it'll stick in there minds I expect.
I know this is a forum for creativity but it's also a forum for advertising. Chill out on the whole DONE thing. Everyone rips off everyone anyway even if it's not intentional.

Saying all that though maybe shock tactics are better for this kinda advertising. If thats a demonstration of how the world looks when your drunk, make mine a stella.

Every idea is an evolution of other ideas coming together to create something better than the sum of it's parts. Well, that's what I believe anyway. The point with this particular ad is that not only is the idea 'DONE', but it's a complete copy. The only thing that has changed is the line and the logo. Same idea, same art direction.

If you're going to copy something, copy something outside of advertising. If that fails, at least don't put yourself up on a stage like this and not expect verbal tomatoes to be hurled at you.

Subjectivity, discuss.......

fare enough.

What happens? You repeat what you're saying five times? Might work better for an OCD treatment centre. And the communication 'be careful this new year' is so completely ordinary it's practically invisible. Horrible.

No

Brilliant
