have you read the darwin awards?



Yea, you have to sometimes double read some of it to check if you actually read it right, some people are so stupid



Then again, this is a forum dedicated to people who go out on little pieces of plastic or wood with giant sails and see how fast we can go before we break either ourselves or the said lump of plastic/wood. Then go back to the pub and laugh and yell about it then roll home again, praying the hangover doesn't affect the 6 races planned for tomorrow in force 8 winds...


You make it sound like a bad thing



Aaaah we all love it really!!!

Quiksilver 'may' have no idea it's in the public domain & the fact that someone's leaked it onto youtube is just a lack of professional responsibilty agency-side; that said if I were quiksilver's PR guy then I'd have that stripped off youtube quicker than you'd kick gary glitter out of kindergarten. 

Some say no publicity is bad publicity, that's one of the fundamental behind viral marketing; but in this case, I'd say it's high jinx too far and potentially a very dangerous stunt to showcase to the irresponsible, impressionable youth like BWD, Merlinboy and myself.... 

 

Well said TT, i am very impressionable, you just need to cross peter kay with frodo baggins from lord of the rings

Does anyone remember the spoof Ford Ka adverts where the cat gets its head chopped off by the sunroof. That was apparently a marketing 'exercise' until some bright spark posted them on the net!

These things are all very well but I think I am now getting to a point where I think the media is becoming responsible for a lot of todays social problems because people are just too stupid to realise that it is not OK to copy some of this stuff ...
