Refreshment like no other.


Tango have released an advert that parodies the excellent Sony BRAVIA advert but insted of using bouncy balls, it uses fruit. The ad uses the same José Gonzalez track as the Sony ad and mirrors it almost frame-for-frame. In place of the 'Colour like no other' tag line on the Sony ad, the Tango ad reads 'Refreshment like no other'. The ad is available in video from the website of a supposed residents' association of the Swansea village that was used for the filming. The site though is, of course, all part of the campaign and is created by Tango themselves. It has some quite amusing interviews with annoyed 'residents' and a petition which you can sign to show your support for their plight. I particularly like what is said on the download page:
We think as many people as possible should see what happened to our neighbourhood, so with the kind help of Huw's nephew David we have made the advert available in various "formats".

Even though we hate what was done to our street, we do like the nice, gentle music they used. None of that modern thumpy-thumpy loud noise nonsense. You can listen to more on the nice man's site.
All highly amusing! Below are some more stills from the ad.
