Is this even new? Does anybody remember when some car
company(i think it was nissan) did an ad where you had
to rewind it on video for it to make sense, or the
recent 'ad for cats'(cant remember that product
either).
Here's my point - pissing around on the peripheries of
an existing media isnt going to make you new
communication warriors. It's only us sad marketeers
who even find this kind of lazy shit worth talking
about. I'll buy a drink for anyone who can find a non
industry person who a) even noticed the chicken
tonight ad and b) thought it was revolutionary or
changed their experience of the brand.
