And this is supposed to motivate parents to go out and buy their kids this game? Hmm.

Jet Lee's picture 127 pencils

And supposed to motivate the kids too to say, 'Wowowo, that's fuckin' cool. I want that game and swear at my mum and fuck my aunty'.

sick..

kalpesh78's picture 1216 pencils

these are pretty bad... unless the parents are rockstars themselves. no wonder videogames get a bad name.

ideas....30 minutes nahi toh free.

ispeak's picture 92 pencils

what a waste of time, energy, money and expectation. Which school of thought says "you need to abuse ur mom to be a rockstar" ?

really BAD!!

And you sound like one of the overly sensitive creatives that made this terrible campaign.

adcook's picture 156 pencils

As a matter of fact I'm not. I'm on the opposite side of the globe. And that's such a nice name you got there - bet your book reflects your name.

no, he sounds like a junior with zero experience.

Thanks for the good humour.LoL

locolos's picture 2 pencils

entertaining, and a good laugh. What the hell else are you expecting from video game advertising. Stop bitching... just enjoy.

I can't believe people take offence. Jesus Christ! (you'll probably take offence to that too) It's obviously about the kid getting a rockstar attitude and acting like one.

This is just the best of the day, So strong concept

raverus's picture 1456 pencils

Crap work, no wonder it's available in NZ

j2mango's picture 493 pencils

its really stupid,stupid,stupid!

smudge23's picture 173 pencils

It's not aimed at kids. It's aimed at 18+ like most video games. This is a cinema ad surely. So parents don't enter into it.

kc_brock's picture 694 pencils

exactly. and the target will buy.

it's really f'ing good!

Really really good, next winner in Cannes, you'll see

Don Draper's picture 148 pencils

Hilarious stuff. Perfect attitude. And that kid is is a great actor. Have his agent call me.

Tincho's picture 1105 pencils

The rockin attitude of the boy is awesome, rockin actor.

...but HEY!... parents are the ones that pay for that game... if you put "the mom" in that situation I doubt she is going to get that game for her children. You have to think that parents (Mothers most of all) use to be very sesitive to this things.

You should have used that talented young actor in a less dramatic situation.

Ron Jeremy's picture 94 pencils

Very scam. Show me a media sheet and I'll believe it ran.

RM's picture 421 pencils

Of course it didn't run on free to air or pay tv, it's just a viral spot, and it happens to have everyone on this site talking about it. It's done it's job, very entertaining, can't wait for the next ones

Guest commenter's picture

AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Guest's picture

i never bad rate an AD here.. but that was FUCKING RIDICULOUS

soulpheonix3996's picture 48 pencils

the boy's a good actor, but is this really supposed to get the parents to buy the game just so their kid can swear at them. After all, who has the money control? The parents do.
