Yup - noticed that one.
I was actually nearly driven to the point of disgust to see how much
work they had gone to to get these guys to come up with this! It was
very clever - well on the most part - occassionally some of the
messages seem a little overdone - but they all served their purpose -
and even though the final ad only had a few uncanny similarities - i
dont think enough allowance was really made for an advertisers
persepctive - they WANT things to be catchy - they dont want all that
detail and so on - but still a very good trick that.
I wonder if derren showed the guys everything that had been placed
there for their benefit? He did mention that a lot of effort had been
put into it and so on - on the whole though I was very impressed...
sneaky little buggers.
