The man who stops advertising to save money is like the man who stops the clock to save time

For me its more like this: "We havent won any awards so we made this video."

bloody racists

Guest's picture

what a waste of fucking time. It just got worse...then worse...then abysmal

Guest's picture

one clear message...advertising is a business for gays

Guest's picture

Yeah yeah, blabla, we're all so politically correct.
This is good and you have to admit it.

Guest's picture

don't get it..what was your purpose? it doesn't matter if you win advertising awards? do you like gay people? really didn't get the idea.

You guys are ridiculous. This is hilarious! It's not suggesting everyone in advertising is gay. It's not saying anything about gay people. It's making a statement about how obnoxious it is for people to think that awards do all that much for you. They show how these strange people don't become any more glamorous after having won awards. The point is made, and made well. If you think awards are going to do anything for you other than maybe allowing you to charge a bit more for your services then you are sorely mistaken.

This seems almost like an SNL sketch. I like it.

I would agree with your statement about the message it's trying to convey. And I get their point in the first minute. Unfortunately it's almost 4 minutes long. It becomes gratuitous and pretty stupid at times.

No awards here then

It's only advertising, nobody died.

NastyJester's picture 746 pencils

It makes me want to fall to my knees and weep. Weep for the death of humour.

Davosk's picture 4439 pencils

Yep, advertising is full of wankers alright.

I'm confused. Australian writers and art directors assoc.??? / USA produced???

Black Fauns's picture 137 pencils

An absolutely brilliant start, rapidly loosing interest in the middle and a terrible, terrible finish. Looked really cool though.

Guest's picture

There is no argument. If you want to say something, you must hava something to say. Not the case. Just racist jokes. Really stupid.

This is another ADBUSTER spoof. This is weak and thoughtless. If you want to be weird and original learn from the best research the film works of Jodorowsky.
