Flattery

I saw this shop window at the ADIDAS shop in Raffles City, Singapore … and apart from the fact they are attempting to use the logo in exactly the same way as SONY Ericsson in their current ad campaign – does anyone else out there think that from a distance, the logo looks alot like a marujuana leaf?

What are ADIDAS trying to say? 

What will the anti-drug Government think?

How many kids will buy their t-shirts thinking they’re being ‘dangerous’?

Why not go the whole hog and print a bunch of clothes that say “ADIDAS Users Are Toxic Abusers”

Mind you, given all the doping scandals going on … that might be abit too close to the mark, ha!

Was Andy behind this? Is this why he’s been sent to Russia?

Come on Campbell, this is just a filler and you’re not serious, are you? adidas is using this for “I adidas whatever” for over a decade now, so it was Sony Ericsson who “borrowed” that idea. Needless to say that after their blatant horrible “I Sony Ericsson whatever” campaign I dislike them even more.
And that adidas/weed comparison…where have you been in the 80s (oh yeah, must have been something with Terence Trent D’Arby)? Thousands of middleclass kids wore the shirt with a weed leef and the line “adihash”…
