youtube spoofs of Wieden + Kennedy ads

People with too much time and too few interests have been creating home-made spoofs of our ads and posting them on YouTube. Here's a pretty dreadful recreation of our Honda Impossible Dream spot, using an action man and toy cars:

And on this one, for some reason, someone has done a completely new soundtrack to the visuals for our Honda Cog commercial. Which is bizarre, bacause part of the hypnotic allure of the original derives from how quiet it is.

Anyway, it's flattering and fascinating that people bother to do it at all.

Don`t you think sentences like this "People with too much time and too few interests have been creating home-made spoofs of our ads and posting them on YouTube." sound a bit arrogant?

I do.

Perhaps you should be glad that there are people who don`t just inhale the whole advertising bullshit but go on and create something new.

By the way: The Honda Spot was great. That`s not the point.

Maybe it sounds arrogant but it wasn't meant to. Just an expression of surprise that people were motivated enough to spend the time doing it. Perhaps you missed the last line at the bottom of the post: 'it's flattering and fascinating that people bother to do it at all'.

I'm sure Fischli and Weiss were fascinated and flattered, also...
