PermalinkIdeas 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.

PermalinkGuys 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.
