Mazda 2 – Don’t Upset the Rythme

4 January 2009 by Silky

Here’s the new advert for the Mazda 2:

Now to the untrained eye that might seem like the video to the White Stripes’ 7 Nation Army.

But it’s not.

It’s categorically and most definitely not.

Judge for yourself.

Update

Here’s the actual ad for the Mazda 2 – I think we can all see where the confusion lies though:

Just How Bad is this Ad?

    lol oh the sarcasm

  • Said on the 6 January 2009

    Love the sarcasm…

    But lets be fair, it’s a damn site better than the last Mazda 2 ad.
    The style works well and its quite visually interesting.

    Weird, I always thought the 7 nation Army promo was an ad for Renault…

    i loved both of them and i am an huge fan of
    these stylish car adverts i think that they are
    the best advertising on tv that people would
    love to dream of owning these groovy cars
    me personaly the both adverts are equalie
    good and as i allways say never judge a
    book by its cover or a car by the size of it’s engine
    and they are the pure genuine article 20/10

    One point where car adverts really irritate. The UK market is apparently so insignificant that we’re not worthy of our own version of them. The cars shown are invariably left-hand drive, and seen driving on the right. Perhaps we should be grateful they have even bothered to over dub the audio tracks in English.

    What is the name of the song in this advert?

  • Said on the 19 January 2009

    @REKrishna

    Normally they just flip the image, hence most ads have car regestrations that work when flipped horizontally. (with all T, O, I, M, Y, W, A, H, X, U, V, 1, 2, 5, 8, 0)

    I hope the White Stripes sue Mazda’s fucking arses off for property theft….

  • Said on the 21 February 2009

    LOL you can’t sue someone for that…

    Who cares. The advert isnt bad. Why not spend a little time criticizing adverts that really suck like car insurance or lawyers adverts. Coz they do suck

    Radical mate. Pump up the beat.

  • Said on the 5 March 2009

    Luv the ad.
    I got a mazda, I am pretty sure they are selling like hot cakes dispite the finacial times.
    the song goes well with it.
    Will buy as soon as release

    They can sue you, see

    The effort of creating a distinct idea was shamlessly lifted from them. Did Mazda help The White Stripes when they were getting started? Did they give them a car? Did they take their bread and butter? In entertainment image is everything. If you steal someones image, sound, ideas, you steal the way they make a living, I don’t even like the White Stripes, but everyone has the right to earn a living. That reminds me, I think I’ll create a website about how naff some TV ads are, I might call it Worst Adverts on Television…..

    I hope the white stripes do sue, i mean mazda must pay their advert guys a shed-load and for what?
    To copy a music video, pfft.

    Just a quick edit to my previous post

    *Except the French, obviously

    This is how an advert should be done. btw rhythm is spelt wrong. – music student. Sorry.
