Fevicol Ad copied from Chennai Gay Club ad?

[Hasmukh]

Or is it the other way around?

[khushitanna]

I think the Fevicol ad was released first. Either way, its a great ad!

[Priyanka]

Hi Priyanka,

The fevicol ad was done 2 yeras back. And it's a very famous ad, even though it was not released in press till date, since it was not created by an ad guy, but an IT chap. Anyway, the point is, all the guy who created the the 'Chennai Gay club' has done was just deleted the Fevicol logo, and replaced with the gay club logo.

I appreciate the 'Gay Club' idea, but one has to admit that the fevicol ad is a brilliant one. The Gay Club one is just a spoof (Can't even call it as spoof, as spoof ads are supposed to belong to the same category). So, allow me call it a stolen idea.

Pls appreciate that somebody who had the brilliant thought of bringing together two magents and connecting it with an adhesive. Don't support the guy who has just seen the ad, and just found another connection in it.

Some links that will help you understand the fact better. Please check the published date. That's the key.

www.images.google.com and type 'fevicol ad', and you'll understand.

P.S: There's no such thing called 'Chennai Gay Club'.


Thanks,
