Has anyone seen the latest Fosters Ad, where a guy bungie jumps partially into a river where a croc (or alligator) almost snaps him, with the Ausssie commentator in the background? Feel it was a blatant rip off from the Tango ads? Yeah, well me too.

It's ridiculous that the marketing department (who are probably an experienced bunch) should know better than to rip off the Tango Ads and creating an "orignal" ad by chipping in an Australian accent. Wow, great idea! You idiots.

Another stupid ad is the Heinz Beans one - what's the matter, you've run out of ideas so you decide to re-run those from 50 years ago? Clever and cheap. In a way, it's just like the games and film industry today - no innovation. May as well program robots with a database of scenarios to do.

Watch it again next time.

The slogan, "Don't lose your head!" May give you an idea of what actually happens!

Smirnoff have just ripped of the 'talking to much' Schtick of the budweiser adverts. And they're both about marriage! How much of an obvious rip off is that!?
