Knullträdet.se a.k.a F**K TREE won a Silver Lion in media this year, the 'campaign of the year' nomination in Sweden, and now the dubious honor to be included in the history of Badland.
You see, we wrote about the Durex Sex Tree idea here when Ad student Henrik Düfke at Miami Ad School showed it to us back in 2009. I hope he's the guy you hired, Starcom, but I don't see his name anywhere on the credits list, so I guess not huh? Shame shame. ;)

PermalinkConsidering how much publicity the Youtube film got at the time (2009), it doesn't seem like a great idea to run it in 2010. After all, whoever gets there first, is the first one to get there. No matter whoever does it _for real_.
Or to enter it to Cannes, omitting the first idea holder from the credits list. Doing the opposite, and inviting him, would have been a very elegant thing to do, though.

PermalinkThat makes no sense at all. They briefed the student, and his project went viral? Then they did it again a year later?
