Comments on: Diesel: Be Stupid Advertising Campaign http://www.creativeadawards.com/diesel-be-stupid-advertising-campaign/ Just another WordPress weblog Fri, 26 Apr 2013 20:29:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Andrew Fisherhttp://www.creativeadawards.com/diesel-be-stupid-advertising-campaign/comment-page-1/#comment-1582 Andrew Fisher Thu, 16 Dec 2010 17:09:33 +0000 http://www.creativeadawards.com/?p=7875#comment-1582 This is pathetic. What a disgusting display of sheer drivelry by Diesel's marketers. Not only is it an embarrassing failure, but it's a testament to their unprofessional laziness. Could they not think of a more intelligent way to appeal to our sense of humor while still displaying the benefits of courage and taking risks? They obviously want me to associate their brand with the excitement of stepping outside the box and the success of taking risks, but for a long time after this, I will only associate their brand with the horrifying demise of our society through the influx of mass idiocy. Good job guys, you look stupid. This is pathetic. What a disgusting display of sheer drivelry by Diesel’s marketers.

I think you people mean "bold" or "daring". Those are definitely in no way connected to the word "stupid". I don’t think “stupid” is the term you should be using.

Hell, you wouldn't even know what advertising is. Stupid gets you nowhere. Smart could take you anywhere!

It's not going to make me remember Diesel, it's going to make me think twice about wanting to be associated with stupidity.

I noticed the ridiculous lack of any one who isn't white and the ads in which there is someone of colour they are always men who are in submissive positions. I was also very frustrated by the severe gender role implications. Women: to be popular and "stupid" you must take off your clothes and get into bed with men that are stupid choices. Men: To be hip and cool you should be destructive, aggressive and funny. Hmmm...... I’m writing an essay about this.
