SKY TV'S 'PARIS ON PRISON' AD VIA DDB WINS NAB JUNE AD OF THE MONTH
DDB's “Paris on Prison” newspaper ad for Sky TV is the NAB’s June Newspaper Ad of the Month Winner.
Judges agreed this was a humorous and topical ad and demonstrated a good understanding of the daily newspaper medium.
“Lucky I knew someone with a Chihuahua,” said Darren Wong Kam who, as part of the creative team, had an extremely short deadline in which to create, photograph and despatch the concept to the newspapers.
June judges were Steve Cochran (Colenso BBDO), James Bowman (Ogilvy) and Karl Fleet (Publicis Mojo).
The winning ad will be sponsored into the 2008 Axis Awards, and the winning creative team will receive $250 cash. The ad will also appear in the “What’s New” section of July AdMedia and is eligible to win the $10,000 cash prize for overall Newspaper Ad of Year (07/08).
The NAB Newspaper Ad of the Year award exemplifies the NAB’s commitment to excellence in the craft of print advertising. Great creative newspaper ads are an effective way of reaching the right audience quickly.

I must agree this is one of the funniest ads I have seen for some time in the Newspaper.

3:44 PM - LOL! : )

Did they really need a reflection of a Paris Hilton lookalike in the glass? That may spell the difference between metal and not.
12:59 am NZST
12:59 Reflection or no reflection, it's still easily the best press ad I've seen this year. I pissed myself when I saw it in the Herald. Think about it, when was the last time you saw a funny newspaper ad in the Herald? Hats off DDB.
11:34 pm NZST
Nice ad. Would have won metal in the 90's. What's with the number of names in creative clambering for a mention?

Not enough fake tan on the hand Mr Art Directors.

12.59 - what are you on about?? I suppose you don't like the font either.

nice one fellas.
12:27 pm NZST
fb - this is 12:59 here.
I actually really like the type. And the ad. I also think most seniors would also agree with my point as well.
6:13 pm NZST
12:59, that ain't no lookalike. It's her.
11:06 pm NZST
Actually, it's a magazine ad.
Proper newspaper ads are 10 columns across and 56 centimetres deep.
10:42 am NZST
12.59 - not this 'senior'.
Sorry buddy. You're being overly picky.
10:43 am NZST
funny. nice one Tony. I like.
12:32 pm NZST
this is ok, better than most but a pretty obvious idea for a 'paris in prison' ad wouldn't you say?And having that many names on the crdits is kinda pushing it.
3:12 pm NZST
FB - this is 12:59 here.
Yeah, fair enough - I was being a wanker with the last comment. Each to their own.
6:09 pm NZST
12.59 - You are both a scholar and a gentleman. Lets bury the hatchet and be friends. In fact, let's everyone just try and get along. In these crazy mixed media weather bomb times I think we all need to put down our scalpels and our extra large headline squeakers and shake hands. So sometimes we might not have 'done it like that' ourselves, but that's what gives this industry the variety it needs. Otherwise we'd all be stuck in small logo down the bottom and a something that looks like a something else type of world.
F.B.

That you Mike Wilson?

A true PeteThompson senior moment -
Pete goes to the local supermarket in Devonport and notices an attractive woman waving at him.
She says hello.
He's rather taken aback because Pete can't place where he knows her from.
So he says, "Do you know me?" To which she replies, "I think you're the father of one of my kids."
Now Petes mind travels back to the only time he has ever been unfaithful and says, "My God, are you the stripper from my bachelor party that I made love to on the pool table with all my buddies watching while your partner whipped my butt with wet celery?"
She looks into his eyes and says calmly, "No Mr Thompson I'm your daughters teacher."

Sad when the retoucher rates higher than the photographer, sign of the times.
12:34 pm NZST
Fuck the re-toucher what about the dog, no mention in the credits & I bet no talent fee paid. Still DDB have a history of using & not paying staff as talent. Shaz has been the Martha Stewart double for years.

Now now 11:26pm we understand, if you are blogging at 11.26pm you obviously do not have a bitch (your word not mine) in your life. Now be a good lad & say hi to Mrs Palmer & her 5 daughters. It will help you not be so uptight.
10:38 am NZST
You need to face it, retouchers are taking over the pridelands where photographers used to roam.
