Odd advertising..
« on: August 27, 2008, 01:06:20 AM »


I'm a bit torn between laughing my head off and never, ever wanting to buy Orangina again. Maybe NSFW, unless everyone has some kind of furry fetish.

Weirdness.  :o

I am reading The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein, and there is a reference to a movie called The Stunt Man, where apparantly a bear does it with a woman on a swing. That scene in the movie must have been the motivation for this bizarre commercial?

It's the golden showers that disturb me the most.. And those she-male peacocks.  Dunno why, but the lap-dancing octopi don't bother me.

That was rather gross and bizarre!

I don't dare sit through it again but I thought I saw one of the animals breasts turn into something else and shoot something out of them (I guess the Orangina?). Ugh.

I think the animation is fantastic. Great tune, also.

Here is the "making of" video:

I think it's pretty gross and ugly as well.  I only was half watching it when it came on the first time I saw it and I thought, "Huh?  Boobs on a deer?"  Then I realized they sort of had human bodies and animal heads like Egyptian gods and goddesses.  But I still think it's ugly and gross.  I think they were going for sexy, but it's not at all.

I'm surprised that so many people are bothered by this. I think it's a great piece of artwork. I wish I had the talent to help create something as good as that.

To each their own opinion.

There are other references as well, for example, Flashdance.

The Flashdance bit had me giggling! I think it's fabulous!

I also liked the mechanical bulls/orangina bottles (Urban Cowboy).

Absolutely wild. No pun intended.
