yeah saw it after the first time it got hyped on here. Wasn't that impressed after the hype. Clever but looked a bit rough considering what I imagine is possible.

Would be better if they showed Gene with his eyes open at some point in the advert. Not that impressed to be honest...

The ad for the Polo (suicide bomber one) was viral, and was not commisioned by VW or their ad agency. Hence it was never banned, unlike the KA advert with the cat, which was banned. VW have used viral ads in the past, the Passat 'bollocks' advert wasn't passed by the ASA, so they released it as a viral.

Viral?

IMHO - the best golf ad was the one that used the theme from "Our Tune"

Viral marketing... http://www.wilsonweb.com/wmt5/viral-principles.htm

As I understand it, it's relying in people to pass the message on for some reason or other, rather than using a tradition advertising medium.

I am probably wrong
