Triple J 'Beat the Drum'

Youth radio network Triple J runs a brilliant competition [which has coincided with the Olympics for a few years now] called 'Beat the Drum'!! Basically you can win some prizes for being the most creative and gaining the greatest exposure for the Triple J Drum logo... somewhere in public view. Past highlights include:
  • Keiren Perkins epic 1500m swim
  • Bledisloe Cup Rugby
  • At the Opera House for the cross to the next Olympic host city of Sydney
  • Perhaps the best effort was on the backs of the Tap Dog Grinders evident when they removed their flanno's during the Sydney Olympics Opening Ceremony

But the latest controversy probably seemed like a good idea at the time... including some sample shots with the promotional blurb on the Triple J website... maybe a fictitious flag strung between the former twin towers of the World Trade Centres was worth a rethink?

Its one thing to be edgy, radical and humorous... what do you think?
