Saw the new MINI advert on TV earlier. People playing volleyball on the beach and then this pirate ship appears with three MINIs which race around the game, tearing it up.

Next a website address is displayed: MINI: Ban Boredom

You can enter a boring website URL, or upload a boring picture and let MINI deal with it.

I love MINI marketing.

I put this thread in it, and this thread is no longer dull as a MINI crashed through it

vickietots · May 12th, 2008, 08:51 AM

How cool!!

Yeoda · May 12th, 2008, 10:10 AM

Yep, very cool!

Seen It on SKY during the half time football on Sunday. The Pub decided.. EXCELLENT!

Wrong advert.... I referred to the TV Add not the web thingy ( that i cant get to work )

They were Vikings not pirates. Had to say, sorry. I have to agree that the web site is pretty cool though.

Just seen another advert in this campaign during the cricket on 5. A red Cooper drives through someones house as they're watching a cooking show on TV. Not as good as the beach volleyball one, but still better than most ads on these days

I got a nice pic of a mini crashing into a tramp...

NeuroBeaker · May 26th, 2008, 08:09 PM

Bullseye!

JWT · May 29th, 2008, 05:31 PM

Anyone notice that the Red Cooper (with a chequerboard roof) actually turns into a Cooper S half-way through the advert ....Clever?

Just seen the advert with the vikings - absolutely brilliant. It captures the essence of mini!

Paul · Jun 7th, 2008, 06:24 AM

I think the website is, well, boring to be honest.

The TV adverts are good though, possibly some of the best MINI have had for a while.

Maybe they are going typical BMW - function first, looks second. Still it is better than some! At least you can read the text and there are some games on it. The thing is, how would you improve it

?

I'd probably spend money on the main corporate site/configurator, rather than a spin off which is purely to waste time,

designer_label · Jun 7th, 2008, 02:13 PM

love this advert!

Agreed, but the problem is, what would you change?

The configurator is good, however, it doesn't work with firefox on mac, but still
