NS,

How many of you dislike the new Oakley ads as much as I do? Who thinks that a comic strip is going to sell ski clothing? It seems like if your paying a bunch of money for ad space, you would make something that is legit that would appeal to skiers (not 11 year old boys).

You guys are comparing this Oakley ad to easily some of the worst ads of all time. I think that says something.

I think they are pretty tight. Grabs your attention a lot more than a still of someone hitting a jump.

it grabs your attention in a negative way, generally not the best advertising strategy.....

this is why ads are difficult to judge for the guys at the NS offices I'd assume.

Get rid of 1 universally hated one, and replace it with one thats at least industry related, and people still complain.

I don't think so, I think they are tight. Less a comic book and more a "graphic novel". Maybe you guys don't like them because you feel like they are talking down to you thinking you are little kids.
