Video of the Day: Weird fake Nike ad about China 'sweatshops'
Found this bizarre video over at CSR Asia. It's patterned after a real Nike ad (the one where the guys do all the ball-handling drills to drum-corps-like beats) but the actors are wearing strange masks (kind of like these sculptures) and then it cuts to Crank Yankers-esque puppets working at sewing machines while getting whipped by their bosses.
Here's what CSR's Stephen Frost had to say:
It’s a pretty slick production, and although I know nothing about the production details (when it was made, who made it, etc) I do know it bears little resemblance to China or Chinese factories. Very weird…
Well, this is a manual trackback. The video indeed comes from the show "les guignols". And it is for sure caricatural (and somewhat old, was aired some years ago).
This "fake ad" seems to come from a daily French show called "Les Guignols", on Canal+
Their style and their puppets (Their favorite puppet being Sylvester Stallone)
Je confirme, c'est une parodie venant de la France et des Guignols.
