I just saw the most horrifyingly inappropriate commercial in the history of the world, Good lord! That actually made my stomach turn over -- really, really, really wrong. |

Oh, that Piaget ad is even stranger. I agree with your assessment of the lover and his object of affection. What is even stranger is the fact that she is wearing dark glasses and has a cane. Is she blind? If so, how does she manage to get those huge false eyelashes on straight? And there is some sort of murder/suicide à trois at the end? And how did they manage to make roses look so singularly unattractive? ;D Ads like that must have a full complement of dressers, make-up artists, etc. I had the same questions you did after seeing the ad. All answered here: anyportinastorm.proboards.com/index.cgi?action=display&board=music&thread=2739&page=7#177323 (#196) |

Yes, I know, Bixa, I replied in the other thread before you replied here. It's still a very strange ad. And I was making a joke about her elaborate makeup (believe me, I know what goes into a commercial shoot more than most  |

I think the new Volkswagen worldwide campaign is kind of cute.

This Indian commercial is rather scary.

That was gross. I wasted some minutes of my life looking at the Cartier ad, obviously because of the cat. That leopard illustrated exemplary cat behaviour, especially the way they hold their mouths to catch a scent. But hell, the lady should have had some foie gras or fish for him, non?

Although I cannot condone Novak Djokovic from an ecological point of view, I continue to find this Peugeot commercial cute.

How sweet! I'd love to know the logistics put into place to pull all that off.

I thought that this commercial for the Système U supermarket/hypermarket chain was really excellent, promoting Christmas "without preconceived ideas." The first part shows children saying all of the things that have been drilled into them -- pink is for girls, blue is for boys, boys don't know how to take care of babies, the father goes to work and earns money, boys play football and play with pistols, girls have tea parties...
And then the commercial shows the children released into a play zone without being told what should interest them. Obviously, all of the "rules" are broken. Système U goes on to say that their Christmas catalogue is neutral and without preconceived ideas. I just wonder how many parents took this to heart.

I like the way this film does not cram the product down your throat.

Not only does it not cram the product down your throat, but I had no idea what the ad is supposed to be for.

Well, Nando's is a South African chain so I suppose that most Africans are very familiar with a lot of these people.

Not so much indirect advertising, let alone for something other than a given product, but I do like the inventive visuals for the Marks and Spencers "Adventures in...." food ads: And the "Should have gone to Specsavers" series can usually raise a laugh: My blog | My photos | My video clips"too literate to be spam" |
