That's a pretty vague link. I watched again and one of the hoses lying
on the ground looked like an air line. Or do your air hoses look a lot
different ours? (I never drove when I lived in Britain so didn't have
to look.)

The Michelin logo didn't give it away, at all?

Not to me it didn't.

Meh. They are running similar themed ads in the paper over here.

No, not really. And I've workd in advertising for 30 years.

That looked like an ad agency Creative Director sitting around the
board table having a wank with the clients to me. I like clever
commercials, but that had little link their product. **** ad as far as
I am concerned. OK, the director wanted to be Steven Spielberg, but I
reckon it won't sell.

You can be clever and have remote links to products (Briitish Airways
ad from a few years ago that had no aircraft in the ad is perfect
example) but I think that was crap. Unless I am missing a British
sense of humour or a regional situation that I am not picking up on.

I saw the logo and figured it was chapter one in a series of ads.
What else could it be than an ad?

I just thought it was silly. If they have to try and be that clever
these days (and I haven't owned a TV for a decade) then I think there
is a lot of plot-losing in the ad agencies. I tend to be very good at
igmoring advertising,even though I have spent most of my working life
creating it, it just came across to me as someone being a wanker. Ads
have to grab your attention towards the product. That was nicely shot,
nicely directed, but **** at promoting the product I reckon. You might
as well just put a Michelin logo on screen with no sound for 30
seconds and I think that would have grabbed as much attention and cost
a shitload less to create.
