I’ll take it under advisement, if only I had met you sooner.

I take back what I said before, you get more interesting as time goes on. Nice to see we’re on a first name basis now, I feel so much more comfortable

What a shame you dont overuse the same sarcastic creative license on your blog a bit more Simon.

Why Art, you visited my lil website *blush*

Why someone with sooooo much valuable insight and knowledge would grace me with their oh so interesting feedback is just beyond me…thank you just so much, I really mean it.

Seriously, send me your contact details, I’d just love to catch up and trade way interesting thoughts and stuff with you

Anyway, bored now, you’re a one trick pony buddy

Now now Brendan, no need to call me ‘farty’, that’s quite mean.

Anyway, since you wont be reading this, nice to chat, enjoy the rest of Dutch’s hilarious antics and exploits.

why ARE you here Art? You’re here to hang shit on others from behind a blanket. You’re not adding anything interesting. And congrats on your comment “This is on par with watching a video of a dog taking a steaming hot turd in the park”, that is a really lively and original analogy.
Say what you want now, and you will, and you’ll stew over it, because you’re pretty pathetic and none too clever, but I’ll jump off the hate ship at this stop because I’ve got stuff to do. I’m not coming back to this page again.
ciao Farty

Simon Julian, I’m not here to service some sycophantic desire for my peers to accept me (or take credence)

But maybe you’re right….
Maybe I should post under my real name….
Maybe I should even link to my own half baked industry blog…. Surely someone will take me seriously then right??
Aaah, I know what’s missing, attaching my CV to my blog. There.. All set. Online acceptance here we come!!

I have to say ‘Art’, if you’re going to treat the discussion in this way at least do so under your own name, then we at least all CAN google who you are (if only to avoid you in future!).

If you can’t do people that courtesy then I doubt anybody is going to pay too much credence to your comments…

And please welcome to Mumbrella, the creative mastermind behind Dutch’s destiny, Mr Graham Welch.

‘Art’, it seems like you’re the one who is using your mother’s internet. I think this young fella has actually said something interesting that marketers may overlook, but you haven’t really shown any qualification at all to understand any of this discussion so this might be wasted in you. Just stay off this forum or grow up.

Brendy boy- did you just quickly google my name and realise it was a Seinfeld character instead of my real “pretentious” name? Whoops!

You better get off mummys internet now and get back to the latest episode of Dutch’s Destiny… You never know what will happen next!!

Brendan — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 05:41:26 +0000

and why hide behind Seinfeld aliases anyway? How weak are you? do you just do this to any forum, just go around bagging people?

By: Brendan

Brendan — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 05:37:42 +0000

Art Vandelay, you’re clearly as pretentious as your name and have no idea what market you’re dealing with. You will never be able to say you know the demographic I am part of better them me, no matter what data you have. I’m not saying what the agency did here was ingenious and intentional, I’m just saying it works for what it is. You shouldn’t stray from the children 7-12 age market, by the sound of lame insults like that.

I think some might be missing the point. I am 21, I love this campaign, it’s hilarious. The terrible acting has surely got to be intentional. A slick production with David Wenham and Geoffrey Rush isn’t gonna work here. It’s part mockumentary, but just a hint of it, the aim is for my generation to be like “are they serious…this is terrrrrrilble….but I like it, it’s addictive” that kind of thing. The bad acting works.
