I wonder if it is an editing job ...?
If it was sponsored by Quicksilver I suspect they may have a problem as that must have done damage to the surrounding structures many of which look very old ...
One of the things with YouTube is that people are doing more and more bizzare things to get their vids viewed - I wonder when we will have the first YouTube death?

Perfect example of a viral ad. It appears to have been commissionned by Saatchi&Saatchi Denmark, and partly filmed in Copenhagen city centre.
and yep, it's a fake

Surely anyone can put a Quiksilver logo at the end, but I do know what you mean.

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 ...

just a quick insight- virals are often commissioned in-house by an ad agency and then demo'd to the client (in this case quicksilver) to highlight their creative flair- they're not neccessarily making a finished advert for general release- even on the net.
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.... |
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!

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...
