WOW, i love this advertisement, great idea.
Took a second or so to figure it out but it is so true.
Oh really, just how believable do you think your comment is mr Dean?
Ads from Italy have a tendency look good, but often lack a good idea, this one hasn't got either.
Well, can't blame you for trying to comment about your own ad, Vicky.
But you see, it's shit anyway.
being true doesn't make it a good idea... why say we cannot test you and show dummies with cell phone/beer, which is like testing.. it seems there's a disconnection.
guys, I'm usually the pissed off knowitall here, but you suck.
these ads are good.
they're not cannes good, but they're good nonetheless.
even if it's true the most stuff from ddb milan posted here isn't more than rubbish, we should give credit where credit is due. (note> HERE!)
nice work guys. keep it up.

Crash-test dummies are so overdone.
Mamma mia! Volkswagen used to have good ads.
Is this an ad or a public announcement?
i think this is a good concept and a very decent and simple execution. the idea of selling high standard testing at the same time they are sending a social message is cool.
but i understand people judge everything they see here thinking of cannes.
