Oh how I LOVE this. I never understand why ad's use cursing though. I like it, but it would never fly on TV.

great, really great.

doworkson's picture 242 pencils

this was awesome. and i say props on the swearing because thats how people talk, especially de niro. and a guy accusing a donkey of trying to fuck his wife is a good unexpected touch especially around the 45second mark, but the music should have cut out during that part, then kicked back in as the "a little de niro" text came up.

Wish I knew what song that was...

LeeHarvey's picture 1541 pencils

It's there in the credits; Eyes without a face - Billy Idol. Great song indeed.

gonndo's picture 98 pencils

I'd been a little bit more agressive wit the final copy...

"The perfect man doesn't exist,
his magazine does..."

See you on the road...
