Whether they get it right or wrong, its going to get people to watch their advertising segement (be it theres or somebody elses commerical) so it will be the advertising agencies dream.


I wonder if the idea came from Channel 4 first, because they certainly love coming up with quirky new ways to get people to advertise.

that will work when half the country can't get channel five on analogue Rolling Eyes

Rolling Eyes

1. Most the country has something called digital now.
2. They have probably weighed things like not everyone having access to Five and the fact that most wont even bother to flick channels into account, but have decided it will still be pretty effective campaign.

One could argue it will suit Five most!

Yeah.. was a bit pointless if you weren't in on it.

Thought the five one was slightly too late though

If nothing else... it's managed to get that song in my head!

to be fair, whoever saw the Channel4 part of the advert on its own must've been completley in the dark cause they didn't get any info on either end of the ad Rolling Eyes

Wow, it was so perfectly timed, and done so you could watch the whole thing and go back to ITV1 before the film came back on!

They're having a laugh... lost count only 14 seconds into it! Shocked
Is there any particular reason why all the related videos on the right are porn related?

Wow, that's naff.

Ironically I was watching the 100 greatest tv ads when this was on, they sure did make some good ads back then.
