Anyone else disturbed by this ad?
If a mind is a terrible thing to waste, why are they blowing this kid's up? :wink:
I thought the exact same thing when I saw it!
That's just a brain fart he's blowing.
This is your brain on a mixture of ammonium perchlorate and aluminum.
and if girls should be encouraged to do great things, why are they shooting this one with an arrow?
It isn't blowing u, it is taking off!
Dj, it is well known that pioneers wear Arrow Shirts. I suppose that's the thought behind the ad.
That kid's mind blowed up reeeeel goooood!!!
disturbing ad
Yes, Belle Dea, I thought the exact same thing, too.
That is so strange. I had the exact same reaction. I wonder how secure that ad exec's job will be when the company learns that people are having negative reactions to the ad?
Advertisers have to be very careful about the reactions of their potential customers. Years ago there was an ad campaign where women could get a pair of stockings (it was before pantyhose, so you know how long ago THAT was) with boxtops from Lipton soup. The campaign bombed, terribly. Afterwards, the company attempted to determine why the ad flopped.
What they found was that women did not like the idea of stockinged feet in their soup!!!
Stumble It!
