Looks like Diesel is back to the great stupid campaigns of its glorious past. Be Stupid is a smart concept that offers a wide range of possibilities to be further explored and exploded with wit and irony. The idea is simple: smart may have the brains, but stupid has the balls... the balls to create new stuff, the balls to do crazy things, the balls to surprise.

If you think you are doing something stupid enough you can send your stupid video to Diesel and win the possibility to be featured in the video catalogue/music clip they will produce over the next few months.

Personally I am very confused by Diesel's positioning these days. It seems every season they are producing ads for a different audience. One season they are artistic, aimed at a high-fashion consumer. Then soon after it seems that the ads are targeted at teenagers and mass market. Is Diesel suffering an identity crisis or did they figure out they could not compete in the luxury sector and so are making a big play to get back with young consumers?

It looks like nothing gets stupider than these really stupid advertisement.

Are these done by a high school advertising class?
