Guinness advert

[meeja]

Apologies if this has already been posted (Have been away from PH for a few days and I couldn't find anything using the search!)

The new Guinness advert on TV "NoitulovE" (Evolution spelt backwards)

A work of genius of what?!

[Eric Mc]

Will they run it in the southern states of the US?

It is brilliant on every level.

Must have cost a few quid too.

I think that by comparison with some of their earlier ads (the long, recursive 'head on a pint' one particularly) it's really rather poorly executed - too many difficult shots 'concealed' by jarring cuts, still s'only my opinion.

Nope.

They've banned it!

Bus shelter ads are now proclaiming that All Guinness served in the UK is now imported from Ireland, is that right ??

I think it's a great ad but you have to see the full lenght one as the shorter one doesn't work nearly so well - one of my favorite tunes as well

Actually an advert i dont mind watching

London production was shut down a few years ago. It's also brewed in Nigeria.

The song is Sammy Davis Jnr's version of "The Rhythmn of Life" from the film version of the musical "Sweet Charity".

I played one of the preachers hippy brethren in a stage production of "Sweet Charity" about ten years ago. Great fun and a great number to sing.

You've got to be kidding me? Nigeria? How do they find time in between all their email scams? Or maybe thats the cause of it...

Still I dont think the new ad is that great, pretty boring once you've seen it a couple of times.

Yes, they've been there for over 30 years.
