Joel and Cap'n Pat on Sky News

[TheChundar]

Right Im sticking to drinking Crusha now, since they actually commisioned them

[JingwaNyanda]

The Newsreaders seem to not know much about computer animation and how easy it is.

[jamiesargant7295]

proper british thou!

[xannox]

te haces el santito.

[guitarhunterremix]

Coca Cola just steal the melody but maybe put new lyrics. But they are STEAL the video

[lobizarro]

Well, lately almost all Argentinean ads suck, so I just hope not only Coke -because sadly they never will- but Santo's agency get what they deserve.

I bet almost every stupid mediocre Ad Agency here rips off ideas.

Sure, we had some creativity not so long ago, but let's face it: it's gone.

[mowanda]

what happened to joel veitch? his account was suspended

[jako1250]

i know this got settled but for the past month i sacked coca cola and have only consumed luxus ! i have been a very wasted boy!

[professorkipling]

where on earth can i buy luxus!! the lets get wasted video is the first and only time i have ever seen it!

[JWmson]

Glad to see that Joel and his group have forced Coca-Cola of Argentina against the wall on this. Lookeing at their video, it's obvious that they copied it. Woo-yay!

[nobradors]

What a shame.

[Keanuette2]

Hey Paul - you wore that shirt last nite...LOL!

I'm so glad you won the lawsuit.

[WadeyUK]

Just read that Coca Cola have settled out of court for an undisclosed sum, well done the little guys :-)

[mosquiterom]

pinche culiao buena suerte en la corte

[DenshaOtoko]

I wouldn´t be so pissed at cocacola, but more with the little son of a bitch from the ad agency who actually went and pitched the idead with a straight face.... i hope he gets fired...at least it´s on his conscience...

[mmowoa]

digo... esto no sera un viral del orto y q ya haya un previo acuerdo con estos pibes de 7SOL?

[mugaber]

Freaking Thieves.

[MaxiAnselmo]

Yes, the campaign is from Mother, but I have to admit thats its a funny thing to see. And yes, we are great CREATIVES, but we are the most fucking HORRIBLE human being.Bye!

[mandotafru]

Igual, que levante la mano el que nunca se mandó una truchada (o que tire la primera piedra). Nos podemos reir un rato y cargarlos por lo que les pasó, pero la verdad que nada quita que los de Santo son capos de verdad. Son CREATIVOS con mayúsculas. Esto, por lo menos en mí, no les va a sacar la chapa de ídolos.

Un abrazo. Ya va a pasar.

[SantinoBaires]

Y si todo es una farsa para hacer famosa a una banda y darle mas fuerza y nombre a Coca por una posible arremetida de Pepsi?

Cuantas bandas, fanstasmas, se han beneficiado grancias a la publicidad. Han surgido muchisimas de la nada.

Si se fijan acorde por acorde no es igual la cancion, eso lo hacen TODOS. El tema es que la cancion se parece y el recurso de los monos bailando se parece.

No pretendo defender ni apoyar a nadie, pero basta.

La vida es como te la tomas. Tomatela Light.

[andyee]

Coke obviously ripped them off!! I hope they win the court battle.

[MaxiAnselmo]

Santo Ad Agency want to apologize with 7SoL for this.

In the future we gonna steal more carefully.

Like in our "Creadores de Dueños" ("Owners creators")

campaign for Banco Hipotecario, when in the first commercial of the campaign we copy/paste the background of the "Birds" short film of Pleix. Sorry about that too.

[mandotafru]

se te vio la hilacha man, la del banco hipotecario es de Madre, no de Santo.

[Rikolas]

I couldn't care less whether this video is Argentinian, Fijian, English or French - plagiarism is plagiarism. Coca Cola are scum, trying to rip off the little man. There's no chance in hell that this is an accident like they claim and as an animator, I'd be much angrier than Joel Veitch was!

[CarlosBaccetti]

Cuando Maxi Anselmo laburaba para mi me choreo un liquid paper de la oficina. Esto no es ninguna novedad. Hay varios comerciales de El Santo que tienen cosas choreadas.

[losetodo666]

Como te decia Carlos,en este foro lo que abunda es creativos envidiosos y de poco vuelo,ademas les encanta boludear y rascarse las pelotas son todos vagos;por eso estan escribiendo pelotudeces en este foro.

[MzungusNinja]

Let's get several things straight, this is not against Argentina. And the whole thing about this making the band famous is a pile of tripe. 7SoL already have a respectable and loyal worldwide fanbase without which they would have not discovered the advert in question.

The advert itself is a blatant ripoff of both the animation and song being used to make profit without the bands consent, which is why it is such a problem. Peace to all the Brits and Argentinians out there.

Gracias.

[MzungusNinja]

As far as I know, there aren't any similar Coke jingles from the past, but the use of both a similar animation and tune is pretty suspicious, plus the Coke Light Argentina website has taken down the commercial. You are right though, the band will have to proceed with caution on this.

[HiGabo]

Que se joda Coca Cola por laburar con Santo Buenos Aires.... chotos

[mandotafru]

Claro boludo, tenemos más FIAP. ¿No será que, justamente la sigla significa Festival IBERO-AMERICANO de Publicidad? Che... ¡qué raro que los ingleses no tengan ningún grand prix en un festival IBERO-AMERICANO!

¿20% más de Grand Prix en Cannes? Estás mal pibe...

[bender3002]

dejen de escribir idiooteeecesss

lo unico cierto es que 7 seconds of love ahora son famosos gracias a Coca Cola y la agencia Santo! jaa

[sastred]

Terminemos de una vez con los resentimientos de una guerra en la que los argentinos no tuvimos nada que ver, simpelemnete fue la estrategia de unos Hijos de P... para perpetuarse en el poder.

Estas cosas nos suelen suceder por creernos mas listos que los demas. Bien por Coca si les retira la cuenta, y si los demanda mejor aun. Para los grandes no se trabaj asi, deberian saberlo.

[DannoHung]

I'm surprised there was no mention of the Quizno's sub commercials with the Spong Monkeys that Joel had created a while ago.

[HJKlingm]

you're right. Quiznos paid for the right to use that advertising, so it's not about money or making the band famous, as I see some people suggesting in other posts. Coca Cola is p*ssing on the little guy here.

[chechobajocero]

Y si dejamos de tomar coca-cola? eso seria lo mejor que podemos empezar a hacer todos antes que empezar con peleas entre paises.

[ytrio40]

Hay algo muy gracioso. Todos se pelean, pero tanto la musica original, la robada, el video original y el robado, SON MALÍSIMOS. Para mí deberían ir en cana todos por PEDORROS!!!

[adriananunziata]

Stop talking s*it about nationalities. Or don't you know that Apple stole from Xerox the graphical interface and then Microsoft stole it from Apple?? And they're all Americans!

It's not about the country or that. If the band were Japanese, it World be the same thing.

Drtoffu is right, probable, tomorrow the advertising agency World say that they fired two newbies because the didn't chek the prior existence of that idea, although they know how it was. Regards

[adriananunziata]

Dejen de hablar boludeces con respecto a las nacionalidades. O no sabían que Apple le robo a Xerox la interfaz grafica y despues Microsoft se la roba a Apple???? y son todos conciudadanos!!! No es por países ni nada similar. Si eran Japoneses, habría sido exactamente igual.

drtofuu tiene toda la razón del mundo, probablemente mañana salga la agencia de publicidad diciendo que despidieron a dos newbies x q no verificaron la existencia anterior de dicha idea, aunque sepan como fue. Saludos

[drtofuu]

Ok. This is what I think. This is not about Argies vs. British. It's about 2 desperate morons from a Commercial company brainstorming at 4am while smoking weed in a hurry for a deadline. They go online, they put karaoke on and BOOM, commercial done, deadline met.

(1/2)

[drtofuu]

OK esto es lo que pienso. No se trata acerca de Argentinos vs Ingleses. Es acerca de 2 pelotudos haciendo brainstorming a las 4 de la mañana fumando faso y con una fecha de entrega en 2 horas. Se meten en internet, un poquito de karaoke y listo, llegaron a la fecha de entrega. (2/2)

[d10x1d0]

Very sad...im from argentina and its sad to hear about aargentina and england beecause a pair of stupid guys stealed a song to put in a comercial. Thats nothing to do with me or hundreds of argentinians or england people that wakes up very early each day to go to work. Its very sad to hear people talking about people they dont know and its sad that a company like coca cola put a comercial that stealed a song from a little band .

Cheers

[fvdmc]

About "the hand..." we are not proud of cheating in a game, we are proud of cheating England, the biggest and worst thief in the world. Before u can talk about football pls rewiew world cup 66 video. And, for the records, these stupids creatives don`t makes me proud.

[corra22]

ahh pero aca siempre hacen eso...

hay una de helados que suena curiosamente muy similar a un tema de the offspring...

en una propaganda de detergentes hay un tema muy parecido a all star de smash mouth...

siempre tienen pequeñas diferencias como algunos acordes... y otras cosas que cantas... pero son muy parecidos ¿casualidad?

[mastercap]

Che que salame que son, es como para que te cuelguen de las pelotas por haber hecho esto no??

[MadNotMad]

Can I just point out that it isnt Argentia that is at fault, just Coke as a company!! Any more comments about the people or country will be removed. Thank you.

[mandotafru]

Loco... ¿tenían que correr ese riesgo con una promo de mierda? ¡Qué boludos! ¡Cómo le dieron de comer a los que dicen que son tilingos que no entienden nada!

[rubensola]

Saben como le dicen a Maxi Anselmo?...el hijo dilécto de Jorge Bucay, porq utilizan el mismo método de investigación...

[mandotafru]

Habría comunicado oficial de Santo Buenos Aires, firmado por Sebastián Wilhelm y Maximiliano Anselmo:

"Fue la mano de Dios."

JUJUJAU JAJU

Translation: Would be a oficcial statement from Santo Buenos Aires (the ad agency) signed by Sebastián Wilhelm and Maximiliano Anselmo:

"Was the god hand."

[lutewhine]

Enough people hate Coke. I know that a court case against them, particularly overseas, would be extraordinarily expensive, but maybe Joel and co should mobilise the masses that love their work, and if people dig deep, who knows?

Maybe there's a kindly, publicity-loving law firm over in Argentina that would fancy taking on the case for a substantially smaller fee than is usual.

[bobslayer]

The bastard Argies first they try to nick the falklands and now they are plagerising 7SOL - send in the Belgrano!

[pabloroman10]

English of excrement, he penetrates to you in the 86 with the hand of 10, your prince Carlos is the cornudo but great of sos America and vos a dwarf absorbs pija that you like that they blow the nape of the neck to you, fag

[aboumoslem]

ajajajajajajajaja

chabón! cómo vas a escribir eso? al final vos nos hacés quedar peor que estos de coca cola al traducir una puteada tan argenta de esa manera tan pedorra con algun traductor online.

[Nacho71AR]

El bobbie se la merece pero, hermano, comprate un diccionario y quizas tomate un cursito. Te acompaño en el sentimiento, lo del Belgrano fue un golpe bajo y no tiene nada que ver con el tema.

[osico]

cerra la boca pirata, ustedes son los primeros ladrones del mundo.

[aboumoslem]

this has nothing to do with the malvinas, this is about some cheap "creatives" from a stupid company who got a contract with coke, and now, i think, they losted it. poor pricks

[MzungusNinja]

Man, this truly sucks. It's not just the tune, the video is too similar aswell. Never mess with a ninja in any format, including song!

[allstatesigns]

ke grande ke somo' papa !!! la empresa "santo" de publicidad argentina se esta escondiendo mal ahora, nos choreamos todo !!! como siempre, lastima, argentina tiene miuy buenos creativos, no era necesario pero esto es internet viejo, no hay ke chorearse nada de aca, jojojooo

[FarSouth]

¡Fuerte ese aplauso para los que acaban de perder una cuenta por una pelotudez total!

¡Fuerte ese aplauso para una dupla que acaba de perder su laburo y va a quedar escrachada mal!

(Recuerdo que Seba le bochó una idea a un conocido porque tenía una similitud con la escena de una película de un director independiente yanqui, y no creo que esto le esté gustando demasiado).

[Chanseaud]

Man, no offense to Mr Joel, but why they have to make the ad so alike?? I don`t think it worth all this bad publicity for Santo. Anyhow, let's hear the reply tomorrow...

[Chanseaud]

Let's hear the reply tomorrow from Santo...

Anyhow, why to "inspire" on that video? I mean, no offense, is not a brillant idea and certainly doesn`t worth all this bad publicity for Santo.

[giselej]

increible... todo es posible por aca jajaaaa... ademas deja de jorobar robarse algo tan facil de recordar!! ajaja

[charlynielsen]

Coca Cola... sos malísimo. Además de que soy un gordo podrido y nunca hubiera comprado Coca Light, ahora tengo un motivo más para no hacerlo.. Igual, la Coca común es un pelotazo y no la cambio por nada.

[missinghen]

I suppose Sky looked at the musical element as there's more of a track record there - wonder how many artists have won against ad agencies nicking their visuals?

[luchokapucho]

Y los argentinos nos choreamos todo.. JA!

[julianrod]

strange... argentinian advertisement companies "inspired" by previous works.

[wohlert]

jajaja que levante la mano el que roba derechos de autor!!!

[flyingkillercob]

Nice free publicity there! You should have mentioned b3ta though :[

[scottthedot]

Where do 7 seconds of love get their source pics from? All paid up and above board i presume? Wouldn't just be nicked from t'interweb would they?

[joelveitch]

the source pics used in the ninja video are all kosher. so no, they are not just nicked from t'interweb.

[scottthedot]

Great! Now go on and take the muthas for every penny they have.

[Mokey117]

Why couldn't they be? With the countless free source image sites and pictures for use on the internet, they wouldn't have to pay anything.

And even if they do use nicked photos, they aren't using it in a major advertising campaign for a product.

[scottthedot]

It was to avoid them being seen as hypocrites.

[Mokey117]

Lol, I read further down after I had posted the comment :).

[krono7]

The original 7 Seconds of Love's video featured characters' were of friends and families that the band knew. Well, probably not the cats, obviously.

I'm suprised at the utterly stupid, half-arsed response by Coca Cola. The video is a blatant ripoff in any way imagineable.

[theessexgirl]

@krono7 The cat was based on Veitch's family pet kitten called 'Monster Truck', so i guess it was all personal!

[gnomelover]

the kids certainly do like it, i can tell you that. don't fuck with 7SOL, i'm never buying coke again.
