James Bond look alike in Lagos

What is your impression about these 20 tuxedo-garbed and dashingly good looking men who were displayed deft moves and choreography to the delight of passers-by yesterday? The arresting sight and pure spectacle of Daniel Craig’s legendary character was rolled up in a synchronizing effect by these 20 men under the Heineken James Bond billboard across select areas in Lagos. See more photos after the cut...


 
During the fascinating procession, passers- by were intrigued and shared different views about the pose. Akin Ogunmola, a banker at Zenith bank thinks this is only a dress rehearsal. “I love what I am seeing and I can only associate this moves with the James Bond character. I guess they are doing a public awareness campaign about the ‘Skyfall’ movie which is sponsored by Heineken.”

 
 
  
Similarly, Emeka Agwu, a businessman, who was dumb-struck by the amazing display said, “I like the sightof these men; it’s really looking cool. But I don’t really know what they are out to achieve. Maybe they are trying to advertise a product or a film. It is beautiful anyway.” Did you see these guys in your neighbourhood? Tell us what you think about this puzzle-like animated choreography.

So they couldn't even go to the studio and score the video with a decent sound?
Whoever dished out this junk should hide his head in shame.So tacky, uninteresting and lacks creativity.
So what is the USP in this rubbish ad?
This is utterly malarkey!

Nigerians need to learn what a flash mob is. if you dont know, look it up. its a different sort of advert, and i think its quite funny and also the firs I've seen in Lagos so big ups to them

Y'all ar uncivilized. And shallow minded.....its an advert(flash mob)aimed at gettin the attention of consumers and this guys are models/dancers..who gets paid for what they enjoy doing

Eze said...

Nigerians and their thoughts of hate, why not make suggestions on how they can better act instead of negating their efforts.We won't go forward like this.

I was just intrigued by the cars they all look new!

The guys tried but they are so not qualified to be Bond guys.They did all this for 20k sha(At least it can buy an extra suit).The main event is happening right now. The Bond girls! are d'best and sexiest. Go Bond girls.

Mr anonymous teacher, whether its called flashmob or advert, just keep ur lesson module in ur locker - simples! its making pple laugh and they are expressing their feelings.

I might have to take a hiatus from Linda's blog cos the negativity is not good for me.. Everyone comes here to vent their frustrations, ignorance and bitterness on unsuspecting readers.. What wrong have these men done? They are on a job and all I can read is insults upon insults. U abuse politicians, then u also abuse people doing a honest job.. This is the reason the white man's brain is more advanced than u lot. Calling them jobless for what reason? Must everyone do the same "office job" in Naija? So far it pays their bills then I say well done. For those with all this vileness I say this to u.. Get well soon.
