Pure Gold. I saw them recently down in Vic but only see them here in Newcastle on Fox Footy while it was up, hopefully the FTA stations will start running them. Just shows you don't need a big set of airbags to come up witha good ad campaign!!

they are great, think they get a fair bit of air play on Fox sports. Hopefully they will release a few more

They are great!!! Ive only seen a couple of them on cable.

Leave it to a bevo company's marketing people to come up with gold like that tho. Great ploy - entertain the customer as well as raise awareness for your product.

"Hey, have you seen the new cougar ads?" around the water cooler = money in the bank.

Found on another forum, hadn't seen it til now, very clever and alot of work.

From the website: (www.unileveranz.com.au/G...54D27B8B6630.asp)

Filmed in the Rocks in Sydney for Rexona in the UK, the short Stunt City was released on European television screens on May 2, 2005 and won a Gold Lion at Cannes in June. The stunts, which occur in the ad every 2 seconds, features work by the same team involved with the Mad Max movies, Bulletproof Monk, Moulin Rouge and Red Planet...

The Ad

The 'five cougers thanks' adds were the best i reckon. Has anyone else noticed that all the best adds are alcohol adds?

I must be the only person who hates the Cougar ads. I don't find them funny at all.

All they indicate to me is that only old people drink Cougar.
