Ça jette un froid non? (Sinon, j’avoue j’ai “pompé” mon jeu de mots du titre aux fameuses paroles d’un groupe de rock. J’offre des stickers au 1er qui me dira lequel!)

Sur ce coup les Philippins se sont fait “coiffer” sur le poteau par les anglais… bref question nouveauté, ils se sont bien plantés.

Si le “plan” des espagnols était de récupérer une bonne idée ailleurs c’est réussi. Maintenant, niveau originalité, ils sont un peu à la rue!

Mauvais jeu de mot mis à part, il n’y a pas mort d’homme, vu que ces deux campagnes sont sorties quasi simultanément. Mais elles sont tellement identiques qu’il est intéressant de les comparer en side by side. Est-ce que les passants feront plus attention aux faux SDF qu’aux vrais? Hélas on en doute un peu. J’en profite pour vous inviter à cliquer-ici : Restos du Coeur histoire de me racheter une conscience.

Décidément parfois on se demande qui est le plus “suiveur” des créatifs ou des goélands… La seule idée un peu “fraiche” étant de recycler un Print en Guerrilla… si tant est qu’on puisse appeler cet exercice de recyclage une idée.
