Harvey Nichols viral causes a stir

September 23, 2007


Now, I have slightly mixed feelings about this viral and judging from the completely varied reviews it has received, so have many others. DDB have been incredibly brave with this video. The objective was obviously to create a piece of work that would go viral and through this video, they have certainly achieved this (not to get the ad on TV like some FW said in a comment on YouTube). Some of the references such as the goat being sick in the toilets and in particular the coke snorting chicken are brilliant and you have to love the Internet for making it possible to share such toilet humour. Personally I would have loved to have seen more similar references to make the most of the potential shock factor however, I am sure these two clips alone were hard enough to get approved.
