Come on, someone please let me know.
I'm hanging out to hear.

When ambient media goes wrong??!!
Apparently there was some naked guy hanging by helicopter who struggled so much he fell out of a harness and onto a fence ten feet below. Stitches were required. Lawyers were called. No comment from the agency.
I can only guess what events led to a naked guy hanging from a helicopter. Probably a "bastard cheating boyfriend" who was kidnapped and strung up to "teach him a lesson"
There were several eyewitnesses who saw the aforementioned helicopter and freaked out naked guy and Paul Catmur was sighted visibly shaken.
Can't help thinking that if it were a naked chick it would be lead item on the news....
DDB please explain and put an end to all this scurrilous chit chat.

Advertising, it's a dangerous game.
2:35 pm NZDT
Why hasn't this made the papers?
There's a hush-up happening at DDB. Can someone please leak us any email gag orders.
2:58 pm NZDT
Word has it that Catmur sent the whole agency a "you talk about this and I'll scowl at you for years" email.

I heard a naked guy got planted on a fence and required 20 stitches after freeing himself from dangling out of a helicopter. Ow. Lawsuit's pending. OSH isn't the happiest either... this reminds me of 'the late late late breakfast show' in the 80's with Noel Edmonds. On the show they had a reoccuring segment where homeviewers would be set dangerous challenges and filmed by a camera-crew. One homeviewer was filmed live while he tightroped between two buildings without a harness. He died.

What pussies!
They should very quickly do an 'out of court' settlement with the guy, and relaunch the whole thing along the lines of:
"John Smith's a perv - this time he was lucky - next year it'll be a snuff movie...
Don't mess with NZ Girls!"

P.C.: It's fookin' genius... another trip to Cannes with J.C. Hopefully wear a better looking bikini this year because he's recently called Jenny.
J.C.: Hey, you, wanker, yes you. Stop struggling up there. This fucking helicopter is costing DDB $1000 per hour. I'm missing the Magic Numbers and Mudvayne because of this. And I've just eaten four a hot-dogs and the Charge Party pill I bought off the guy selling them from the back of the orange V8 has just kicked in.
(Unnamed Creative): Oh no, he's struggling free. He's falling. It's all gone horribly wrong. But the agency digital camera is still running and I have images of him falling.
P.C.: Fookin' 'ell. Mate, do you want to go up for another go?
Victim (lets call him Chesney): Mummy! Mummy! I can see my intestines
8:49 am NZDT
Paul mate, quick make up some shit about another agancy again to take off the heat.
"Saatchi's are running scam ads lynchy, Honest this time. love and hugs Paul Catmur"
9:22 am NZDT
how the hell do you post pictures on this thing?
9:39 am NZDT
senbd to french.neil@gmail.com
9:51 am NZDT
Yeah fuckin genius idea all right(and incredibly effective if you consider a small band of ad wankers chatting a huge audience).
9:55 am NZDT
It was Karl hanging from the helicopter, well not really hanging

This is better than the Stag-do kidnapping in Mission Bay!
Apparently that was meant to be an ambient media stunt as well.
Stick to the lamp posts and the drains next time eh?
Can't wait to see this one on the news.
2:06 pm NZDT
Why have we not seen it on the news? Surely DDB can't keep something like a guy falling out of a helicopter quiet. God, the guy in Mission Bay didn't even get hurt and it made the front page!
In this summer period of no news days, surely the media would be all over this one like a rash!
Maybe the guy in question is selling his story to New Idea? "My day of torture..."
2:49 pm NZDT
Hope he dumped the girlfriend...
2:57 pm NZDT
She sure 'dumped' him!
3:34 pm NZDT
smoking gun, anyone? Figuratively and the website per chance?
3:49 pm NZDT
I heard there was another helicopter seen ducking behind the Grassy Knoll.
4:03 pm NZDT
I wouldn't agree that it was a 'shit idea'. It really depends on what they were planning on doing with the guy if they hadn't supposedly dropped him.
Dangling him in front of the main stage with a sign reading "Who's planning a quickie in the toilet while your girlfriend's at work?" might have worked!
4:13 pm NZDT
Really? And there was me thinking it could have earnt me a trip to Cannes.
4:51 pm NZDT
does anyone else get the feeling that half of these blog replys feel a bit... DDBish?
4:52 pm NZDT
I'm seeing boys cry, I'm seeing wolves cry. I'm not seeing no naked man cry. I also see no fucking way any helicopter would be let near a huge smelly crowd with a man and his nads hanging above them. I also reckon this original post came from DDB. What else explains the use of both a question mark and an exclamation mark.
5:41 pm NZDT
There's more plants in this blog than a FIX wharehouse.
7:11 pm NZDT
Right. We'd like to sort this out as soon as possible please. It's gumming up the server. This isn't Mexico City. We have Two degrees of separation here. Hell, most of the time it's just One. Someone must know someone who flies a chopper, is a stuntie, someone works in ER, drives an ambulance or an doctor who has been struck off for substance abuse but still stitches up wounded stunties for cash on the weekends. Pics to me post haste please. Any pics published will get a free invite to Gmail. Any solid, verifiable info will get a free trip to Cannes and a Gmail invite.

Isn't this web site run by a guy at DDB?
that could be a fun game. Who is NZ creative circle?
Lets see. This person loves gossip.
They have been in the industry for at least 8 years.
They write loads, could be a writer.
Bitter about other peoples work, an old hack creative maybe
And going by how much time they spend on it, they don't actually do any work (works that's any good).
I’ve narrowed it down to about 5 people. . .
7:44 am NZDT
I heard this was done out of Colenso.
8:06 am NZDT
To Anonymous a couple of posts back...
Nice try but, as they say, no cigar.
Tip: Work on your writing son, it could do with a bit of sharpening.
