dont remember where, but i remember a heated debate about this ad. is hummus greek? no, israeli, no this, no that. the ad is racist, its enforcing stereotypes. blah…
i think its funny.
Because there’s nothing intrinsically good about being anything else. Granted, there’s nothing intrinsically good about my party lateness, but I feel comfortable with that.
Looks like most readers hadn’t seen this excellent ad, so job done.
I’m sure it will win something but to be honest these sort of traditional proper ideas get muted by the loud mouthed style over content “conversation” digital ideas.
Yes you could probably “invite conversation” off the back of this campaign and make the Greek woman an brand icon. But why?
Ummm. You must be one of these people who takes great pride in seeing things first because seeing things first is what makes you feel creative and cutting-edge. You probably have obscure tastes in music, claiming to have seen bands before they were famous to make yourself seem more interesting than you are too. I know your type. All criticism, no talent. How inconvenient is it for you to see an ad that you’ve seen before on someone else’s blog, really?

Now THAT was pretty damn funny! Won’t air in the U.S., I’ll bet.
yeah. and also i hear there’s a director called george lucas coming out with a film called “Star Wars’.
Mongo approves of this.
@Ummm…
I’m quite proud of being late to the party when it comes to ads.
I don’t think George Lucas is bringing out another Star Wars, mate. I think you should check your facts.
The Charlie Sheen one that pops up after is funny aswell – like fucking buses I tell you.
Ben,
Ummmm.
Why?

You’re as clever as your name.

I don’t follow.
But I’m ok with that.
And when you say looks like most readers hadn’t seen it are you basing your statistics on the 6 comments that have been left?
I haven’t laughed at an ad in ages. Nice. The ‘relationships’ one is funny too.

Ummm…
Yeah.
I had seen it before. That doesn’t stop it being brilliant.
This is a brilliant idea brilliantly executed.
It hasn’t had much press.
