Guthrie Bowron are the decorating specialists and have pretty much every shade of paint under the sun. But they wanted to start talking about their colour consultants who help you use colour more effectively. When they told M&C Saatchi that they were trying to get people beyond the traditional white walls the idea struck. Originally conceived to run if Barak Obama won but it couldn’t be produced in time. The only thing left to do was wait until he was inaugurated…

Couldn’t be produced in time? Was that due to the big international shoot or something?
Sheesh can we leave out the bull about this being done to a brief?
There’s a skit on a Snoop Dogg album, with a line in it kinda along the lines of “First thing i’m gonna do, is paint the motherfucking White House black”.
Shoulda used that line.

Isn’t this just that poster that was on the blog but with rectangles instead of presidents?
It wasn’t Snoop, it was George Clinton feat. Ice Cube.

9.31 & 10.07, this is George Clinton in “Chocolate City”, back in the day in 1975:
“Uh, what’s happening CC?
They still call it the White House
But that’s a temporary condition, too.
Can you dig it, CC?”
Or any Chris Rock / Eddie Murphy / Arsenio Hall routine…
“Stevie Wonder, minister of Fine Arts”….
Just don’t get him to choose the paint colour.
Yes, it’s not a choice as the Veet goodbye bush one was i reckon, but it might have been better with something funny about bush in there, then it might have been good enough to make the in the newspaper on the weekend in Sideswipe..
And the Veet one was a rip of a “Down with Bush” demonstration from the last election.
Henry Kember, is that you being a wigger?
The ad is great. I can’t believe some people here. That bush gone joke is older than my mothers furry mound.
If I criticised your mother’s hairy mound would she hold it against me?
It’s furry mate, furry. Don’t you ever call my mother hairy.
Blowfly’s got something to say:

White House – white house. That’s how good this ad really is.
