Sorry boys, but everyone remembers that Nike did it much much better a few years back.

And the crowd doesn't go wild.

Its going to be terrific. In my country we don't have a green man in the pole. We have a littlest man that stands next to the pole saying beep beep beeop beep beep until he turns red.

I REALLY AM HAPPY WITH ART DIRECTION.

have a greatest day

Um, people - Pulp Sport is not an ad - it's a tv show. While they may have done similar stunts, they aren't ads.

Nice work fellas - keep on keeping on.

Pulp Sport actually did exactly this. the host dressed up as boxers and did it on Queen street. I saw them shooting it about 4 months ago - before ACGW was on air. Bit of a rip off here.

I think it's ok. Would have been funny to see. Sometimes I feel like boxing punks on the crossing. No one moves it's like they're all zombies. Good but not great but what would I know I work at Burger King.

Agassi versus Sampras do an impromptu game of tennis in the middle of Times Square.

It got gold at Cannes. Gold One Show. It should have een picked up by Mr Mok.

people playing sports in the street is hardly a new idea. Sampras Vs Aggassi. Girls playing tennis on top of buildings for Nokia. etc.

who cares though.
