Just got a comment on the HUMAVELOPES. See I HAVE ONE QUESTION FOR YOU. It reads:
"the suspicious van was original. the humanvelopes were kinda hokey. you guys ripped off goodby's beer tree ad where the guy says were home or something like that...even the music was the same."
See "Beer Tree" here. It's a classic. However, it's not nearly the same concept. That's about a tree that is cool because it has beer. So Mr. Male Eighteentothirtyfour is all giddy at seeing it.
I am guessing that the below genius is what is being compared.
There are three similarities:
The word home
The word we
The song from 2001: Space Odyssey
The Humanvelopes campaign was anything but common. If fact the following words have been used to describe them by NSAC judges:
Cute
Funny
Adorable
Original
Fresh
Refreshing
A BIG idea
(not hokey)
I also don't agree with the statement that "the suspicious van was original." in fact ,googlesuspicious van and you get 691 results, google Humanvelopes and you get 5 (and we created all five)
Need I say more?
