ESPN: Olympic Games. For the few good ones.

ESPN: Not good enough for Beijing, 3 ESPN: Not good enough for Beijing, 2 ESPN: Not good enough for Beijing, 1

Ok, just to get to the point and over the really fantastic visuals the ad means something like: “If you are special or unusually gifted, you are not good enough to participate in Olympic Games, because these games are just for the UBER good, the best, better then you are “.

I really do love the photos, good work there I think. Great concepts also, funny but not stupid. I even like the copy/tagline. The only danger with these sometimes if the viewer may not get the concept right away and hence instead of feeling stupid (hey I did right away, the great photography kept me a second from flipping) with project this on to the advertiser. Oh well we can’t have everything boring vanilla again like Stamford Wives.
