Ad Creep Update: amphibious assault by Vitamin Water.


Earlier this month on the Dutch beach of Woodstock, swimmers and sunbathers were invaded from the sea by a branded guerrilla assault vehicle. The hatch opened and, not a rocket launcher, but a stupid DJ and dancing girls emerged (What, couldn't afford 50 Cent?). Product samples were distributed. There is brief nudity (update: now edited out). YOU WILL BE ADVERTISED TO (ad agency Natwerk, via Ypsilon2). Previous Beachvertising: Beach blankets shaped like pools of blood promote violent TV show. Mini KIA plane ad banner seen by 10s of California sunbathers.

Funny, I hear a Girl Talk song dubbed over the ad but the DJ in the vehicle is NOT Girl Talk...

guess they're pretty sure he won't sue them for stealing "his" music.
