Sing when you're winning

Apparently this is Lastminute.com's first viral ad, according to Brand Republic.



Although, of course, there is this ad from a few years back, which just happened to find its way onto YouTube after never seeing the light of day in the real world of TV advertising.

Had viral written all over it...

No doubting it is a funny clip, and has got bags of viral potential, but seems a little suspicious to me that it managed to motivate a cluster of new users to sign up and comment, many of whom haven’t watched any videos yet according to their profile pages.

Undoubtedly good work, but is this a genuine response?

Are these the same actors that FlyBe hired?

No wonder Norwich wanted more money!
