lipton iced tea death HK shoot out - my favourite tv commercial

[chad]

this is my favourite television commercial ever made.

i was never interested in lipton iced tea before, but i am a total convert.

this appeared on lipton.com.hk maybe a year ago and vanished quickly shortly after. since then i have been searching for it and finally came across it.

does anyone have any info about it? who directed it? who made it? anyone understand it?

hk cinema is still so gassed on gunfights. the feathers all over the place was

knocked off of some ol' john woo type shit.

the hk mindset is alot more kitschy or slapstickish in humor.

subltle and/or anti-implied you gotta love that...

i guess that's why foriegn films are so um, foriegn.

SHIT IS WACK

this ad is nuts.

this is a actual campaign for iced tea?!

it's like al qaeda or some shit going crazy over iced tea.

dig.

udpate: i am still searching for info on this ad, and google turned up a firearms forum where it was celebrated and discussed. sergeant major towelie offers this translation:

Quote: It’s a pun on words - the bloke is on the phone saying he's playing mah jong* which in Cantonese sounds similar to bird game [hence shooting the birds?], thus his game of mah jong is so thrilling that he suggests a refreshing drink of Lipton tea!!

it looks like archetype did the web site, and i have emailed asking for director/agency/production company info.

disclaimer: no birds were hurt during the making of this commercial.
