wow, why do we look like some greek gladiators or somethin.......couldnt they just have used real pictures of the crowd.
I think that BMO's intention was to depict TFC fans as "warriors" or "gladiators" of the mls fan base based on our reputation for being the most supportive, ravenous fans in the league. The exagerated imagery is not meant to be taken literally, which is what seems to be offending people. The ad is meant to be a compliment to the TFC faithful...
Must have already BANNED beer sales. Not one cup in sight, yet everyone portrayed looks like they live the beer commercial lifestyle, rawkin' yet ripped.
Come on, were dealing with TV here, and its a commercial, not a reality show.
Why didnt they get Erin Brokovich to play Erin Brokovich? Why dont they use real doctors and patients on ER?
I love that so much effort and art direction has gone into portraying something that I'm a part of, and making it larger than life.
We created the reality behind that commercial, and it sends shivers down my spine when I see it. Not because it's a great commercial, but because I realise that what we created last year made such an impression, and was so succesful, that they wanted to capture that and give it the Hollywood treatment.
I bet the streamer pic will be down soon....
Nice effort BMO. Please try again.
Exactly, pictures of real fans would not have had the feel they wanted to give it. It was supposed to be about us as "warriors", not us as real life. Commercials are meant to be over the top, because frankly, a 30 second shot of real life (in most cases) is not going to sell anything.
FAKE.
I like it
The best thing about the site is that it spawned this thread which in turn brought up "Mambo Seafood" from the Houston game and gave me a laugh
I'm gonna start calling things mambonifico for no apparent reason now.
