Best Commercial Ever?
First off... That thumbnail GIF is an all-timer. No clue where it's from, but glad I found it before Vin-Dog... Here it is again.
Secondly, I've lived WAY too long and watched WAY too much television to say confidently that I have a favorite TV commercial.
For a while, I adored that NIKE ad where everyone's sneakers were squeaking to a beat…
However, in retrospect, I think that was because I was trying to adopt a more "urban" image at the time without making any drastic changes to my lifestyle.
Since then, I've come to learn what I was actually doing was appropriating a different culture, so now I quickly turn away whenever that commercial comes in in retrospective blogs like the one I am writing.
Then, in order to avoid any other racial snafus, I tried to focus my attention primarily on commercials that objectify women… Particularly in Europe… And there were some DOOZIES…
But this type of sexist trash also became problematic for some… So my next move was to stay on the continent but turn my attention towards ads that got their point across without having to capitalize on overt sexuality or race.
And I came up with this gem from Poland…
Just fucking perfect.
We've all parked our cars in handicapped spots or parked our asses on handicapped toilets thinking it was, for the most part, a victimless crime… There were plenty of other blue spots in the lot and/or there was no one else in the Men's Room when we deposited a dump in the incorrect stall.
Well, there was no one else in that Kraków bedroom when our wheeled hero deposited at least one load in this seemingly incorrect vagina, and the simple symbolism conveyed through the resulting TV ad really hammers home the point that sometimes "no harm, no foul" is not reason enough to break the law.
Bravo to whoever thought this up.
Take a report.
