That’s for me though, and I only ever see them in between soaps when visiting the folks, and they seem to like them (although I can’t imagine my mum and dad drinking Red Bull).

A more recent example of excellent restraint on behalf of the purchasers is the Phil Collins Gorilla for Cadbury’s. I have only ever seen the full version twice, and the truncated version a handful.

The elevation of advertisement to art is indeed a wonderful thing. You get longer cuts at the cinema, teaser trailer ads (like the guiness domino one - “good things come to those who wait!”), and for those who know where to look on the net there’s the sick viral spoofs (like the cat in the sunroof one) and great take-offs (tango’s version of sony’s bouncy balls).

If you’re going to push an ad on someone, it must be artistically and intellectually stimulating. As a 25 year old, I respond better when I feel I’m being treated rather than manipulated. Variation will also be key in pushed advertising, there must be a sense somewhere of being the first to discover a great ad.

Still, the ads were innovative because the animation values were very strong… innovative, still when doing commercials.

Thanks for the point, it has brought better background!
