LISTEN DON'T WATCH - 2009 Youtube Cannes Young Lions Ad Contest

[juicysaucy]

One of the most idiotic ad I ever seen. First, no one will bother to take note of the website to sign the petition when the entire audio is filled with stupid copy. Secondly, the video is nothing but a childish prank. Poor art direction. Weak copy. And worst, talentless talents!!! What a disgrace!

[notoriousagp]

it was effective. discussion ends. creative wanking is best done alone in the dark.

[duprie37]

Cool video although I don't think in this instance of "Man Vs. Nature", humans will win - climate change is the Earth telling us "had enuff now, thx, cya."

[shelbybisouworthy]

very good job adeline.

[stepanm]

Don't idiot from comments! You work is awesome!!! Love it. So simple and genius.

[myY0UTUBEchanneI]

man made global warming is a load of BS

[DipMistry]

Dear o Dear...

[VegiterianLove]

Wow. Don't listen to them. The reason everyone hated this is becuase you all thought it was goingt o be somthing outrageous but the thing is half the people wont go buy a new car to save the world or not drive the car this video was greta because it was so simple everyone can do it.

[TubeAtomic]

I wish I could remove the +1 viewer caused by my clicking and watching this crap. And the reason this piece won is:

A) Judges were blind.

B) Judges were paid.

C) Judges got laid.

D) Judges got diarrhea and had to go. Fast.

[cacurnio]

I see a lot of young, brilliant, angry but immature creatives here. Certainly this is not the best commercial in the contest, not the best produced, not the "never ever seen idea", but it´s certainly the MOST EFFECTIVE one, it prompts you to quickly follow the instructions and register at oxfam, THAT IS WHAT IS SUPPOSED TO DO!! Just as ALL THE ADVERTISING IN THE WORLD, it is is supposed to meet communication objectives, not win prizes or dazzle people just for the sake of it.

[C5series]

I do think is great. As you say, is effective, and in the way I see it, effectiveness is all about, specially in this kind of advertising.

Someone says that this just won because of the number of view and the rating, but isn't this all about. Why would somebody want a very creative unique ad, seen by me and my mom.

Its a very simple idea, may no be unique or it may be, because no one else did it this way.

[duprie37]

I agree! This ad is brilliant because it doesn't just make you feel better about a product you already buy, or put an idea in your head to go out and buy it, which you may or may not do depending on a host of other factors. This ad is every marketer's dream: it makes you do what it tells you to do and instantly so. Imagine a McDonald's ad for a BigMac that made 99% of those who saw it go out and buy one, instantly. It'd be an ad agency's dream come true.

[riorei13]

nice tits

[askaichin]

thats all this video is worth. lol!!

[jroberto00]

this ad sucks, so does the contest, so does the jury ...

[askaichin]

Hurray

[cusmar2001]

Outrageously crap !!!

[houid]

this won???

[rachparov]

I think the only reason this video won it's entry was because of the number of views and the rating, if it wasn't for that this would have never won, i can tell i saw plenty of exelent add and one "barely" made it to the stupid shortlist....

Probably a way to make people talk about this shit and expand the "save the world" word to others...

LAME VIDEO. LAME CONTEST . LAME JURY.

[B1653XY]

Just shows the youtube comp was the biggest waste of time ever, you only win if you rip off other peoples work or be off brief and completely boring. Good luck at Cannes, your gonna get your ass kicked by real creative people.

[francescorabottini]

the brief says "Your video needs to be positive. The video needs to be interesting/quirky/emotive". I mean, the tone is completely wrong

[abogadoooooo]

This Fucking shit win??O gonna kill my self!!

[KnightBoi84]

How bout I [Apple-Q] your video cause it sucks!

[anjanbiswas]

Was that a paid win!

[FunnyHaHaFunnyHaHa]

uh, ok.

[adgarful]

it´s so boring!!!

[1800123456TM]

3333 views and rising. Congratulations again and just keep doing what you are doing. It is not easy to win a award like this. Also a thankyou to the judges. You have done a beautiful thing. May more users submit more videos on the same topic Climate Change. This is something the World really needs at the moment. I think that if anybody can help make a change happen it would be YouTube and all its Users. They will all have to join and work together and unite as one. The creativity would be MAGIC!

[soonerlaterthan]

is the person who made this video related to one of the judges? otherwise, why????

[wreks1]

Awesome idea... I think you should have come first though considering the other winner was a blatant COPY of an early submission.

[KevinGregoryMarco]

Terrible video...what happened to the creativity??

[tigerclaw55]

I cant believe that the video that won is a video we are not supposed to LOOK ATt!! This was a VIDEO contest not a RADIO contest!

[GiornoOfLHCB]

Clever! You're very clever!! Don't change the Tags. It should remain as the evidence that you were chosen.

Congratulations!

[OUACHIKH]

Yeah oh god, you right

good observe

[ericmu11er]

this contest looks more like the bad idea contest.

[vjfibro]

Sorry, but this was really bad, especially compared with the rest of the entries. I watched maybe 30 of them and of them I'd say this is in the bottom 5.

[kantaronishioka]

I think this is a great Idea. very good use of the medium internet, making ppl open new browsers etc, and going only with the sounds. Just listneing is fun as well as watching the msgs on the cardboard. I think it works, and really outside the box thought.

Congratulation! you deserve it!

P.S. but I'm not so happy with the 2nd place, since it's been done... what do you think?

[SergioSevega]

Sorry, but you dónt deserves win

[outofmind83]

I agree with you

[1800123456TM]

Firstly Congratulations! Save the World from Climate Change is a excellent topic.If more people did what you are doing the world would be a nicer place. May God Bless You All. World Leaders will have the greatest influence in relation to bringing about Climate Change. I hope that more individuals and companies follow your footsteps and make a effort such as the one you have made here today. Please a message to all. May we all follow the SAMGOH user on youtube and make more videos on this topic.

[80871445]
