A bit of fun for Oxfam this Christmas, and the chance to make a
difference to some people who really need it. Also, could be the
perfect pressie for that CD who’s got everything (other than a Donkey
in the Sudan).

Too long and really boring. Another 42 Below/ NZI rip off.
“Too long and really boring” is an opinion. Not really one that warrants a serious argument. “42 Below/NZI rip off” is crap. Sure it’s an animation, but that’s where the similarities end. Get a life 1:26pm.
embarassing…
11.07: Sure it’s an animation, but that’s where the similarities end. I think you’ll find that’s where the similarities start.
First commentator: I would like to fight you for making that 42 Below comment.Kohimarama School bike sheds, 3.20pm.Grant
Yeah, that’s a shocker. I’ll probably get the whole “is that one of yours” from my family at Christmas when they see it on TV.
It’s a grower I reckon. The donkey v funny.
Is that the same tool who says “It’s 42 Below” every single time? It’s like you think you’re being really insightful by spotting any potential 42 rip off.It’s an animation style foolio.I think it’s pretty funny – and nicely done.
Why are all the voiceovers gay?
i think it’s funny and well animated.
The web address at the end of the ad doesn’t load on safari. Maybe it should be changed to http://www.oxfamunwrapped.org.nz? Works like a charm.
I don’t get it, do I buy a real donkey? Way too long.
Sounds like the Whybins PR machine is trying to write anonymous comments here to make it sound like a good ad. It’s terrible. Stop trying to defend yourselves. (The donkey is v funny)… err what?
Whether you work for Whybins or not – which I don’t – the donkey is very funny. Never said it was a good ad, but isn’t it better to look for the good in something, than be just another hater on the blog?
Whatever 10:00am – post your server number and let’s see if it corresponds to Wellesley St.
It puts a smile on my face. A very sweet ad. Well done… 🙂
Post your server number? It crap when IT people get on the blog, they never know where the funny bit is. Call me on 3555000 ask for Mike, tough guy.

Nice to see an animated ad that doesn’t rip off 42 Below. This one rips off the animated BBC series I Am Not an Animal, starring Steve Coogan as the pompous sounding horse. Wait a minute! This one stars a pompus donkey. That’s SOOOOO different.
KRAFTHAUS!
Forget animation style. This ad says nothing about the service provided by Oxfam. How it works, who it benefits etc. You have to at least tell me some of that information if you want to get me to the web site. A total miss.
Oxfam are a bunch of chinless wonders who specialise in driving Range Rovers, wearing chinos, hanging around in bars talking to each other about stuff rather than doing it and giving interviews to the media. If you really want to help a child in need, get hold of Child Fund. They actually do a bit more than exhorting people to buy goats.
bah fucking humbug to the lot of ya.
If the amateurs at Colenso can rip off a 42 below ad and win an award, why can’t everyone. Here’s to creative plagiarism.
