Have you seen the advert ? is it strange or a very good marketing ?

[Vivienne]

Er.... a bit strange, but certainly unique.

[MK Chris]

Well, marketing campaigns aim to get you talking about things, so they have done something right.

Personally, though, I think the Olympics market themselves with the amount of press coverage they get, there's very little you need to do for it. People who want to watch it will know where to find it.

[TIAL]

I like it.

I'm going to say... yes!

On that note, how many of you will be watching the Olympics ? ( you have to watch more that 3 hours of it to say " I watched the Olympics " )

[TIAL]

Depends what time its on. If it's late at night I'll probably watch a lot of it - no way if it's on early early in the morning though!

[tom greeni]

I wont be watching it but I'll be buying the Xbox 360 game It set to be pretty damn good !

[MK Chris]

I didn't watch it because it hasn't been on yet, but I will be.

[Munki Bhoy]

I'll be trying to watch, but the times won't make it easy to do that and get enough sleep for work too!

[raymondostyle]

pretty sure its a rip off of Monkey Magic!

[Munki Bhoy]

I saw it a couple of days ago on the telly. My first reaction was "oh, that looks very Gorillaz". At which point my girlfriend pointed out the very obvious reason for that.

That's what I thought - the ad features Monkey, Sandy and Pigsy doesn't it?

[TIAL]

They should get him to make a new 2012 logo.



Come to think of it, it should stay - it makes me laugh every time!

[S4B]

It's The Monkey King isn't it?

[Zoot]

That looks like 21 is being roughly from behind by 02...

[kendra k]

Zoot, it does. The London Olympics logo always looks wrong to me.

I think I'm probably not going to bother with the Olympics this year. Everything I hear about it just makes me angry.

[TIAL]

I always see it as Lisa Simpson giving a BJ.

[kendra k]

That's a many kinds of wrongness.

[TIAL]

It is - but I bet you won't be able to see it as anything else from now on!

[tom greeni]

I always see it as Lisa Simpson giving a BJ.

Now you've mentioned it TIAL, I see what your saying

[MK Chris]

That's a many kinds of wrongness.

Not as wrong as the fact that it looks more like Maggie than Lisa.

[CassieJackson]

It's The Monkey King isn't it?

Yes, having done a little look around t'internet, I find that Monkey - the TV series was taken from the story "The Monkey King". Everyone's right - hooray!

If you followed the link I posted when I started the thread It explains all that in there But some people prefer It the hard way.

[CassieJackson]

Whoops. Ah well. That'll teach me to skim through threads without checking links won't it?
