With the advent of google video, it was ripe to be a place for people to upload their spec work. Take for example this Jeep spot where Directors Casper Frank & Talia Raine seem to be under the impression that crap suspension is a selling point. Steve tipped us to the "sexist, mysogonistic and objectifying...but.." spot. Yes, some of you will find it funny - but I think we all agree it's not a good ad for Jeep. The tagline seems to be selling the other stars in the picture.
This is definitely targeted at my demographic.

Permalinkta! Yaknow if they're selling "bouncy and fun" I reckon they should have cast someone a little bouncier....

PermalinkAnd I thought 'twas only me thinking that - I mean, they're very nice and all, but I've certainly seen bouncier. Casting the stars is SO important, don't you agree?

Permalinkstill, thanks for the mammaries, lads.

PermalinkI agree, seems more like a sports bra ad targeted at female Jeep drivers!

PermalinkNissan has come out with a similar ad for the Pathfinder. There is a video game called, "WRC3: World Rally Championship 3" by Playstation that has a comparable ad as well.
You can see the Nissan ad here: (About one quarter of the way into the video).
The WRC3 ad can be viewed here: (Scroll down for the "WRC3" link).

PermalinkThanks, I just had that emailed to me last night as well. Notice anything weird with that .wmv? Look closer. Upper right hand corner.....Why yes, it's the Cannes Lions Logo. But I don't recall seeing that at Cannes. Does anyone else? Also, Cannes doesn't create .wmv files, they make .mpegs only. So is this a viral trying to pretend it was a Cannes winner?

PermalinkIsn't that interesting? When I first saw the Jeep ad (before I saw it post here) I thought for sure it was a hoax. I was wrong. Later, when I saw the (alleged) Nissan ad, I had a suspicion it wasn't genuine, but having been wrong about the Jeep ad....

PermalinkOh that Jeep ad is just silly spec work, it never ran (so I guess you could call it a hoax). The Nissan one though.... Where the hell did that come from?

PermalinkUntil you posted it here, I thought the Jeep spec ad was what I suspect the Nissan ad is; if that makes any sense. :)

PermalinkOh right! I misread you. :)
