Amazing commercial!

Why can’t the UK be allowed such great advertising? Very annoying!

The product is irrelevant here – but the reseller is getting quite famous in Denmark. So in the end the commercial is nothing short of fantastic. It’s not the only commercial where they have used nice looking women to attract attenion. What you definately have to pay attention too, is that it’s a border shop in Germany focused on gettings Danes to do their shopping across the border – hence the great pay-off = “Crossing the line”. That pay-off is just perfect!

Actually, when you spice the product with sex(appeal), its easy to forget what the company is trying to sell you. So, in fact, stupidity is on the seller’s part, using attention-grabbing graphics (as Andy says, “use of boobies”) that simply divert attention from the product. I’ve no idea what the product is, although I do recall a topless hottie parachuting into a neighborhood swimming pool. Now that’s poor advertising.

BTW, Sabine, I’ve noticed over the many years that women’s magazines have quite successfully used allure, sex appeal, body image (you must be this size or else you are considered FAT) to sell their products to women. Case in point via quick question: how much have you spent on shoes, beauty products and sexy underwear in the last year?

In some ways I think so.

It’s amazing the attention that can be generated by the simple use of boobies.
