you know, I read the headine as: "King Kong VW Touareg ad filmed by some movie crew" and thought to myself "I bet they had some budget, too, like a couple of bucks. Maybe ten for PR."

I liked the Absolut ads back when they gave away free stuff in Interview (and such mags) back in the early nineties. I made a tradition of wearing it that new years. A silk scarf new years 91 -> 92 and these Absolut pantyhose new years eve 92 -> 93. In 94 I think they just had a plastic bottle filled with gel-glitter. Boring (and unwearable).

I think stealthman and shmulikber are correct - we need a word for a planned ban. Planban. Blanned? Meh! Any wordsmiths feeling creative? Lets add it to the dictionary!
