    2.15 you're a git.
    I'll think you'll find that it's pretty right for the client, who would rather sell cars than have anything to do with a bunch of prats patting themselves on the back around the pool at Cannes or whatever.

    Talk about pandering to the morons. I think I was just a bit sick in my mouth.

    Dear 7:39. I don't like the ad, it has absolutely nothing to do with awards. The first ad was cute, I loved it. Now I find it overly sexual, slapstick, fake looking and the joke is tired. I'm actually normally very positive on this blog.

    Thought ads were meant to be posted onto the 'bestadsontv' website, to stop the industry self imploding.

    This was PR'd by Sydney Film Company, not Assignment.

    Yeah, sorry - not a great follow up.

    Post work is pretty awful - looks like it was done on After Effects 4 or something.

    Between this ad and the crap new music that's been researched into the Air New Zealand ads i'm left feeling pretty hollow.

    Don'y worry, Vaughn is probably just about to cheer us all up with a super piggy commercial!

    You're so right 11.05 - the music really made those Air NZ ads. What a disaster. Almost as helpful as the V/O added to the V ad.

    Glad to see you lot are all still making ads for your own egos. Tell me, how much do ads made for your egos sell anyway? The average belching, farting, ball-scratching Kiwi doesn't give a toss about whether the post work is After Effects 4 or Terminator 3. Only your precious little egos do. Grow up children.

    sorry for this but I really can't hold it in... Feckin shite! The creative is shite, the post work is even worst (if thats possible)... It almost makes me wish AdWorks was still doing the ads.
