PermalinkAllow me to say "Britart" before anyone else does. Also, recall Goose already outed Britart as Art Imitating art - and another ad campaign - way back in 2002. Which is the better badlander if you ask me.

PermalinkIs there a Godwin's-type Law to govern this?
Such as "In any creative thinking process, you're only two steps away from creating a Britart-style campaign only to discover Britart didn't do it first anyway?"

PermalinkReally? I thought the Britart stuff was from early 2006...

PermalinkYou're kidding right? It was a D&AD winner the year 2000! That's a lifetime ago in advertising (and blogging but we reported on its winning streak - shit I really need to get a life)

PermalinkShit. How embarrassing. I've got to stop writing comments that expose me for the hack I am... :)

PermalinkI love 'sandwichman'. Are you telling me there's no Swedish word for sandwich? Smörgåsman? And I love the word 'ballong'. Does that mean the swedish word for 'moon' is 'mong'?

PermalinkThere's several words for a sandwich. To do the Earl of Sandwich-thing you could call it a "dubbel-macka", either a macka or a smörgås can be doubled like the Earl did it. However, since "smörgås" stems from the creation of butter - when you churn the cream little "geese" of thick butter float up to the top and these are taken to spread on the bread, they are buttergeese = smörgås (butter + goose) - it makes no sense when you apply it to a sandwich board which refers to two slices of bread.

PermalinkI am totally delighted by the idea of butter geese. I can't wait to bring that one into a conversation :)
