Friday Fun



Someone sent me this video, which was allegedly done by a 20 year old as part of a contest for the AARP (American Association for Retired People)

Watch it with the sound ON and watch it all the way through.

Very nicely crafted.

UPDATE: Thanks to Paul Soldera and TSR for pointing out this Argentine political spot (and Silver Lion winner at Cannes 2006) that may have provided the inspiration for the AARP spot.

    I remember it coming across my desk a couple of years back. I wonder if she knew about it?

  4. I don't think this was "inspired" by the Argentinian spot.

    It was a direct rip-off.
