The crime:
The original:
We believe we may have tracked down a suspect. Evidence on YouTube points to the oddly named Batey Ads of Singapore.
This isn't a case of 'inspired by', or 'referring to' or even 'hommage'. It's just bloody copying our ad. Poor show. Anyone out there know anyone at Batey? Can they confirm that Batey did this work and do they know why they so obviously ripped us off?
These fresh-faced, young
whippersnappers are The Gentleman’s Club, five 3rd year Graphic
Design students from UCA in Epsom. Together we have been working on an
advertising project for the last 5 weeks. We played Ad Agency and for a change
I got to be the client, Mrs Persil. The boys were the ad agency and we have
spent the last few weeks refining a campaign aimed at students. We’ve had some
highs, Stuart getting drowned in a rather dirty puddle in the name of film
making. And some entertaining lows, Elio ‘s extensive day glow sportswear
collection. Today was our last session and the boys turned up with a large cake
from Patisserie Valerie. So that’s a big, fat A grade all round then.
Stuart, Paul, Elio, Barrie
and Anthony I salute you and your half built fixed gear bikes.
Now who’s got the cake slice?
