> NDP 08 video rips off original content from Japanese ad
STOMPer Daniel says some scenes on the NDP 2008 music video were copied from a Japanese ad for the Children Foundation.
Although it’s not an exact copy, the scenes in the NDP video, in which the child was seen painting, seemed very similar to those in the Japanese ad.
Said the STOMPer:
“I think this is unoriginal and uncreative, especially for our NDP.
“I feel that any national projects should be original and not recycle concepts already done by other countries.” [via]

This is a disgrace of national proportions
And you thought that running a campaign to find an alternative name for Marina South only to have to retain it was bad..?
oh come on…plagiarism should not be tolerated and the person in charge has to face the consequences…step forward and apologise to the public!
Please be more creative!!!
I think it is very annoying and irritating to take the concept of the Japanese advertisement and reuse it for your own country’s independence day video!!!
これは最低なやり方です!!!
I thought the Whale ad was very touching. We often misinterpret children because we cannot understand them or fit their thoughts in our own framework. This really brought a lump in my throat.
Still it only goes to show that most creative agencies here aren’t really creative. The reason that our country seems to be lacking in creativity is perhaps that as a nation, we are too obsessed with sending our children to piano, violin and golf lessons when they are not already attending tuition classes. We’ll soon end up with a nation of maid-raised dud heads that will die during army conscription.
