The well renowned design studio made a commercial for a festival in Oslo, but it was too controversial for the contractor.
So, they published it on their website and has had a traffic boost and feedback that it was difficult to expect. 80 000 downloads since it was published last thursday. Links to it from all over the world and fantastic feedback from all kinds of people.
