Colourful, bright pictures for a car

I like colourful things. I like shiny things. I like these things because they keep my attention. I get distracted easily, you know?

Imagine my delight when I saw these ads for Mercedes. They are bright and colourful and they keep my attention. They don't particularly tell me much about the car but, hey, it's a Merc. Everyone knows about them. And that's how advertising is now. Sell a feeling, not a product. Once you've nailed the feeling, you've won half the battle. Apparently.

I've heard that these ads, particularly the first one, may have been plagiarised. I really don't care. New ideas are very rare. It's just about how you execute them and I think these have been executed pretty well.

Anywho, here are the ads. I'm bored now.
