…By contrast, among the spots submitted to Cannes that also demonstrate “sexy time,” as Borat would put it, a commercial for Durex condoms by Atlanta’s Fitzgerald + Co. manages to be open, clever, inclusive and far more expressive and human than the Calvin Klein board — all by using balloon (well, condom) animals. No shame here as the blue and pink ones happily go at it from every angle, complete with squeaky-rubber sound effects. (I never realized balloon animals are indeed naked.) An orange balloon friend stands by shyly, but then is happily welcomed into the repression-free threesome. “Get it on” is the double-entendre tagline-a great way to combine “Just do it” with a health message. It’s poignant and timeless, a thing of beauty. Give it a gold, I say…..

To expand the consciousness of it viewers by showing them what goes on in a world wide scale through use of high resolution time-lapse cinematography and precise time-remapping.

We hope that people will be inspired by the majesty of the world and will take action to save our precious resources so that future generations can usher in a higher way of living and consciousness.

So is it a marketing trick – where you ask 1,000 people a question and just show the 50 that don’t get it or are we really not educating our customers?  You tell me…
