lobsters pale by comparison.

Lobsters corner sunblock market. Prawns protest!

Doh! Good "catch" Errol. Some creatives went "overboard" with their concept!

This might be a tough one to crack.

Ideas are best served fresh. hahahahaha.

Thanx for sniping in Singapore Errol - this gave me a good laugh - I'd hate to be anyone in either team right now.

Guys maybe some facts would help clear up this pale situation. Check out the 2001 Communication Arts Ad Annual, the BBDO Singapore Lobster ad got into that annual, the Sth African ad didn't nake it into an annual until 2002. So maybe the Sth African team should be treated with suspicion and not the Singapore team.

This is why worldwriters was invented. (disclaimer: i don't work there)

Not in my native toungue either - we get "red as tomatoes"

Interestingly enough... the lobster ad was part of a series of 3.

the other two ads being:

a white tomatoe

a white clown's nose

The entire series is in CampaignBriefAsia Issue #15/2001
.

aha!

lets add, a bunch of white cranberries, white clad santa clause (the seasonal ad), white stop signs, white strawberries, white lips and uh.. naaah, the lobster one is better.

Oh man! And I was just going to submit a white tomato for a sunblock brand at my agency... I guess it's back to the drawing board for me...
