Truly awful, utterly misguided ad
Posted in Uncategorized
So if people don’t join in with your little scheme, you kill them, kids included?
What a strange thing to say.
It would still have been shit but just a bit less offensive if it had been played for laughs, but the people who get blood all over them appear to be reacting almost realistically (except the Spurs players, who are obviously too thick to care).
And it’s too long.
How does an idea that fucking stupid get approved by lots of people then shot, finished and put on air/the internet?
It makes we want to change my unleaded car (that I don’t own) to four-star.
(Found via the Escape Pod blog.)
that is just plain weird.
and wrong.
and yes, wayyyyyyyyyyyy too long.
and dull.
and badly acted.
It’s a copy of the N Korea campaign ‘What do you think of Kim Jong-Un.’
You said it all Ben. That is fucking ridiculous/awful/sad/rubbish. How can that happen? Who is responsible for that?
No pressure, but we’ll blow you up if you don’t. Clearly no pressure then.
The button is a bizarre extra. And, once you’ve seen the gag once, do you need it another three times?
I wonder how much CO2 they could’ve saved by doing an ad that was 30 secs instead. Or, none at all.
Christ on a bike
I dislike the constant anti-human stance of environmentalists / isms.
I’d like to know –
A) is there a problem or not? I am confused now, so many lies spouted by self serving professors and environmentalists.
B) Who is responsible for doing something about it, who has power here?
Constantly blaming the least powerful in society is wrong (kids in a classroom, a clerk, a football player), I don’t buy the every little bit makes a difference line either. My wife (and brain washed kids) recycle so much stuff I am surprised the planet isn’t the cleanest it’s ever been from our efforst alone. Then it turns out only 17% of what we put out to get recycled gets recycled, so don’t go blowing my head off.
I suggested to my wife cutting down on washing cans that on average 83% of the time won’t get recylced and therefore we are wasting water and energy i.e. my energy.
She just frowned, takes more energy to frown than smile I said. I think I won that one.
Oh gawd.
Truly misguided nonsense.
If only there were a similar red button for all of those involved in the making of this.
Didn’t Richard Curtis have something to do with this? What a cunt.
This is the worst thing I have seen since that Brazillian WWF 9/11 thingy.
To be fair, they have apologised:

To be unfair, they’re a bunch of stupid cunts.
Fucking hell. Deeply, deeply wrong on so many levels….
Did you know this was directed by Dougal Wilson?
I did not know that.
Was there an agency involved?

Ah, the name ‘Richard Curtis’ returns to the blog.
I think there is an idea in there somewhere, and it may have even been one I liked. This is an unnecessary mess in every way.
it’s quite a good effect, though. reminds me of that ringan ledwidge ‘girl bursting with gossip’ thing.
It makes even less sense when you hear who is behind it all.
Madness.
@ bored person: I can’t imagine Suggs et. al. having anything to do with this rot.
if everyone involved put in 110% then it could’ve been a different story.
Worse than Go Compare.
0 out of 10:10
Lazy shit.
A better effort from Crispin:

I honestly think this is good.
I hate the way anything environmental always has this horrible Innocent Smoothie tone of voice.
Why can’t you blow up a loads of kids for not getting involved in your idea?
Dick Curtis. Says it all.
May your ears turn into arseholes and shit on your shoulders.
yeah, its shit. apart from that, im very fucking annoyed that its joe public that is asked to do something. all the fucking time. they got no fucking influence if the big wigs arent fucking changing their shit. and they are not. they could have done it since fucking years, decades even. if they wanted to. fact. jesus. what a bastard race. anyone wants a slap in the face, btw. i could hand one out now. after watching that video, im feeling slightly agressive. twats.
It would have been better if, when the button was pressed, instead of exploding they’d, you know, shat on their own arms or something.
I am speechless
I like the exploding kids personally – just not the ‘socially excommunicated for not being environmentally right-on’ premise.
it’s a shame, because the idea that everyone only has to give 10% effort to make a difference is great.
feels very attainable.
then they shit in our eyes with something like this!
classic case of creatives/director doing something they think will win awards(prob cannes)rather than something that will work.
Blowing up people is not the only way to get attention.
I told you all, I really did.
Richard Curtis!
What a cunt!
Humm, I resent cunt, prick yes, cunt no, can you confirm this please Ben.
I confirm it.
The blood of Christ compels me.
Really does not motivate anyone to become part of 10:10, so fails…
it motivates me to drive a big ass Hummer into the wilderness and shoot pandas.
cheers
