Pretty clever propaganda, I bet it makes the Argentines pretty smug and proud to see that, whilst it angers and wind's the Islanders and the Brits.
We need to follow up with the same type of thing by the SBS doing a secret excercise around one of their military air bases on the mainland.

This may have been done already but didn't any of the locals/customs/forces notice a shed load of filming stuff/crew/actors coming over from Argentina? Didn't anyone actually check what they were up to? It's our own fault for not stopping it from happening.
I think they might get TV crews over occasionally to do proper war memorial bits from time to time, as well as ex-Argentinian veterans visiting graves. This one has rather taken the piss somewhat.disco1 said:

The BBC article says the film crew were there filming a marathon in which the hockey player featured in the ad was running in but they also filmed around the island in secret for the ad as well. Zaxxon said:

That could easily have been shot by one cameraman using a high end DSLR - and note that it appears to have been filmed very early in the morning so no residents would see them at itarfur sleep said:

If not, I suggest we just substitute the GB team with a load of Marines for the match vs. Argentina in the initial round.
As soon as the whistle goes, they just mash the crap out of the opposition (some lead weighting in the hockey sticks might help here) - paying particular attention to our marathon-running chum - and then just moon-walk off the pitch. Sorted.

Hang on a minute...If we're saying the Islands are British, and that British levels of tolerance and freedom of expression are part of what the Islanders are all about ... isn't it a bit f
kING STUPID to say that we ought to have used junta-style police-state powers to stop them from filming?If you can't laugh this stunt off, you're not really British. IMHO.

No, as per the BBC:"The video was produced by one of Argentina's main advertising agencies, Young & Rubicon, owned by British advertising giants WPP."

+1. Right about now we should be arrogantly sneering at the Argies with a look of "Try it" on our faces.If we're saying the Islands are British, and that British levels of tolerance and freedom of expression are part of what the Islanders are all about ... isn't it a bit f
