Gooed fun

Adland has long farmed the popular media for advertising inspiration, then rip it off.

Camelot's Christmas advert featuring the house covered in lights synchronised to music will be old hat to anyone who has seen the original version here. Then there was the Virgin credit card's shameless 'homage' to Danny Wallace's Yes Man concept.

Now we have the new campaign for Cadbury's Creme Eggs "Here today, goo tomorrow", featuring kamikaze creme eggs. Any similarity to the hilarious Bunny Suicides concept is purely coincidental.

Probably.
