Impressed by the escalation in the growth of hypermarkets in the last five years the students set out to explore the psychological and manipulative powers of consumerism by organising an advertising and promotional programme for a non-existent supermarket chain.

Czech Please!!
This docu-film is superb! i needn't say anymore.... but i will! The two students who set up this 'scam' hadn't really thought about the consequences of their actions and despite people left right and centre telling them this is morally wrong, they continue anyway! the big difference between this and other docu-films is that nearly always the prankster ends up as the winner! it is debatable as to whether or not this is the case. I won't spoil anything but the ending made the film great in my opinion! the parallels made between the government of the czech republic and these two budding film makers is hilarious and the film making is superb, giving an insight into czech culture as well as building the momentum of the story / event! i am not usually a fan of this type of film, however a movie magazine i buy, said that this is 'a film you should see before you die!' i agree! See it and you'll understand what i mean! riveting stuff!

They got the wrong guys
great concept .. let's expose (western?) consumer greed .. great ad campaign but who got humiliated in the end .... the old, the poor, the stupid ... So the doc maker boys missed the real target , the nouveau riche or whatever they're called. Open a fake car showroom , Ipod shop or poncey restaurant and really get people thinking
