More ads should have death-defying stunts

Like all squirrels, Ad Nut is no great fan of the death-dealing terrors you people call cars. But seeing a car jump from the top of one truck to another (in this ad Chevrolet ad from Brazil by Commonwealth//McCann)? That's awesome, even though we know the stunt is controlled and the only thing really at stake is the $50,000 car. If we learned anything from Jean-Claude Van Damme, it's that stunt ads work. So come on, APAC advertisers and agencies, let's see some more action. 

Here's the other clip in this campaign:
