Advertising at its absolute worst!

I just posted in the 'If the above poster was edible' thread and I google'd 'creamsicle' to make sure I was spelling it right. When the results came up this ad showed up. It's pretty goddamn disgusting...



I'm incredibly surprised they got away with using this ad. What horrible bastards! I can never eat a creamsicle with the same childish innocense again.

 

yeah.. seen that before..just wrong... i wonder if its the same ad people that do ads for american apparel :frown:

 

Hah!

 

That is more than disturbing.

Time to write this company.

I'm like totally speechless and really have nothing to say just a disgrace

 

What if the advertisement was totally innocent, and you're all perverts?

 

it is.. thats the problem.. all of us not-in-to-little-girl people are thinking what a pervert would think when they see this... :frown:

if i was these girls parents i'd be irate... it has their names there!

 

Don't be naive. Marketing is dark. The have no shame.

 

out of all the possible poses these two little girls could have possibly been posed in... this is the one they use??

 

Don't think that those poses weren't intentional. You actually think they ran through the film and though those were the best poses. No.

It's been photoshopped.

 

It probably would have been easier to tell if the writing at the side wasn't so small.

 

advertisers and parents need to be shot in the stomach

 

Went there and they are bloggers on the snopes site. Snopes does not have a record of this being a hoax.

 

You guys went all Shirley Sherrod on that sherbet.

 

dummies...it's amazing the shit some people will believe

 

When the advertising agemcy presented this proposal to the Creamsicle company, I wonder that there wasn't at least one person who might have said 'umm .... wait'.

Oh wait, it's a fake?

Good one!

Advertising in general makes me angry... Prescription medecine especially. On the rare occasions I watch American television stations, it weirds me out they advertise these drugs directly at consumers.

The one that really got to me went something along the lines of "Even light acne is a medical condition" for an acne medication aimed at teenagers. Tragic.

 

Just before 9-11, there were ads on American TV for anti-depressants for dogs. It was reminiscent of the old 'Puppy Uppers and Doggy Downers' comedy sketch on the original Saturday Night Live show back in the 70s. The real pharmaceutical ad was aimed at dogs that had slowed down with age. After 9-11 happened and the economy faltered, those ads disappeared.

Antidepressants for dogs is still an untapped market.
