Great example of message and medium working together.
Well done Euro Sydney and whichever media company will claim developed the idea all by themselves.

Comment by lauren January 21, 2009 @ 5:35 pmThat is classic.
My father’s most proud moment in advertising is that when his agency did the Old Speckled Hen print work, they managed to get a front page ad on the Telegraph the day the hunting ban was announced.
Love media like this..

Comment by fredrik sarnblad January 21, 2009 @ 6:21 pmLove it. We need to think from our feet.
Comment by I am not a media buyer January 21, 2009 @ 6:22 pmI’m just sad Jargermeister [however you spell it] didn’t run an ad saying …

Comment by John January 21, 2009 @ 7:10 pmFrom being the industry that encouraged DVD innovation to getting rid of George W – the porn industry makes Tom Peters, Seth and Gladwell look like Playschool presenters.
Comment by Rob January 21, 2009 @ 7:13 pmso in 4 years we can expect a foto in a right wing USA newspaper of the city of Washington with the lights out, headline: “Black out”
Comment by niko January 21, 2009 @ 7:14 pmIt would probably be an ad for ENRON … well it would be if they hadn’t been a bunch of corrupt, lying, thieving scumsuckers.
Which sounds quite similar to another industry I know 🙂
Comment by Rob January 21, 2009 @ 8:04 pmit would be so much better if it was for vagisil and if you don’t know what it is use your fucking powers of planning deduction
Comment by andy@cynic January 21, 2009 @ 9:48 pmIts just clever and nothing else…and definitely not medium and message but context and message…the same ad could have been up as a hoarding that day and still been funny…
Comment by sonal January 22, 2009 @ 6:08 pmit is medium and message sonal. but with context thrown in. would it be funny as a billboard? yeah. is it funnier being in a newspaper under an article about obama stepping up to the poisoned chalice? absofuckinglutely.
you make “clever” sound like a bad thing? are you a multinational ad agency planner?
look at me giving shit to someone i dont know. but if you come to this blog what do you expect? if youre here you cant be all bad and i like your fight so come back, you can join the marcus andy club. fuck i mean andy marcus club. lol
