The TV Show Mad Men has gotten many people interested in what goes behind the scenes on Madison Avenue.
Is it really just a bunch of guys drinking Scotch and hitting on women between sudden bouts of genius?
Maybe not, but sometimes it takes an amateur to breathe new life into a commercial.
Hence the Doritos Crash The Superbowl contest, where amateur filmmaker
are invited to make their very own low-budget Doritos commercial --
which will be shown in the most expensive time slot in the world -- The
Super Bowl!
Doritos has got a lot of chutzpa to run an amateur commercial at the
big game, since according to Ad Age,
spots are going for around $3.8 million dollars. But, this is the
seventh time that Doritos has held this contest and, frankly, these ads
are funnier and better than any we've seen in a while.
The
producer of the winning ad will not only get to see his or her baby air
during the Super Bowl, they'll be offered a chance to work with Michael
Bay on Transformers Four. Pretty sweet!
