The Paris–Dakar Disaster
The Paris–Dakar rally captivated France with its speed, danger, and flair.
Jed entered a car branded with a fizzy water client. It tipped over before Tunisia. He re-edited the footage into an ad for socks. The water company was baffled. Sock sales rose.
Mmm... did that actually happen?
Friends uploaded some pictures:-)

Aylene, sent us the 'zip' drawing and added this thought:-) I think Horst Blachian is deceased but am not 100% sure! I have contacted a few more people too today. Sadly quite a few people I searched for have passed away, I don't have much to do with the Milan advertising scene these days so don't always hear the news.

Something only Jed will understand. Bored during a PPM, he drew a picture of his agent wearing a jumpsuit (it was the 80's...). The title of the drawing was ZIP! It was dedicated to a German art director/ voyeur.
