I concur that opinions are subjective.
I also agree that there are several examples of good, even very good work and some also rans. Some of the less good will hopefully learn, is this not the point of being involved in such a all-comers field ?
My views are obviously mine and thus personal, not knowing any of the people involved in any of the proposed ads. and /or companies my comments surely can not be seen as personal.
As for being childish, certainly not meant to be so, if others concur...... then perhaps a failing of mine that has not been pointed out by colleagues and friends.

I understand that adverting is a serious business, but fundamentally, everyone is going to have his or her own take on any piece of work ? it?s subjective to ones preferences.
I have looked over most the entries, and feel there is some very good work and some are not what I would back as winners. it is fine to have your opinion when it comes down to the work; it is just when the criticism becomes personal the line has been crossed.
And when you do not know the people, there is no industry were that would behaviour is appropriate, it?s just childish.
I respect that you can see my point.

Dan, I accept your comment. But advertising is hideously serious these days; I wish it were fun and we could be looser all round.
For most of the Wild Card entries I would imagine it is a chance to be seen in a hard edged world, thus one has to appear to be hard edged.
Bottom line is I have made some brusque comments, life is not fair but I have not meant to insult anyone.
Dan | 22 April 2009
Wow ? wow ? WOW, Mark it is just a bit of fun. No one said it had to be the best adverting in the world; it was just worth a shot. before you start bashing around insults - I think you should get down off your high horse and take your own advice, because if all you have to do all day is sit around putting comments like this on work, then my friend it is you that need to grow up.

Third rate rip off of a second rate idea. Saatchi can get away with a good deal owing to their history and clout.
These people need to get out more and grow up.
Jenny | 21 April 2009
You're right! The idea is copied straight from the Saatchi ad. Poor show!
Nate | 21 April 2009
its ok.
using the window is a copy of a saatchi ad in this very competition though.
And the face you can see people sitting in both directions on the normal rows is unfortunate. Also the photoshopped heads could have been executed better. good overall effort though. well done

At first glance you don't notice that the people are facing the wrong way. That's a problem I think. OK for a static medium where consumers have time to study and understand but too subtle here.
Ben | 21 April 2009
I like it; I think the use of understated image is great. If I were to see it from the sidewalk, it would intrigue me; and that is what good advertising is all about. Good job guys!
Dan | 21 April 2009
I see what they were trying to do but I think it's too subtle for most people to "get" in a fleeting glimpse as the bus goes by. Also the white box immediately draws your eye away from the "point" of the ad i.e. the reversed windows.
