Nike adman genius
There were lots of folk making a nuisance of themselves at Stansted this morning. Of course, bad behaviour at airports is nothing new.
This classic Nike campaign was screened during the ‘98 World Cup. The advert features Brazil’s national team and Eric Cantona in his traditional cameo role.
Ten years on, with the ever-present international terrorist threat, attempting a kick-about in the departure lounge is likely to get you shot in the head by a policeman with machine gun - something that’s already a problem for Brazilians in the UK.
My favourite big-budget football ad is still the pitched battle between Portugal and Brazil: Olé! Another cracker is The Cage - directed by Monty Python’s Terry Gilliam.

I really enjoyed you web site. I wish I could get one like yours but it appears that you have put a lot more work into it than I could manage. I will keep your web site in my bookmarks so I can revisit and catch it again when it has some newer info. Tremendous topic !
