Advertising Gone Wrong

I think we have all seen ads that make us roll our eyes. Anyone living in Utah that has suffered through a Super Dale Totally Awesome Computers commercial knows what I mean.

I was watching the news when an ad for Aussie hairspray popped on. I typically don’t watch commercials (thanks DVR!) but I not only watched this one, I rewound it, watched it again and then called 3 friends.

A bit of background. The commercial opens with a kangaroo lying face down on a massage table. In walks the masseur and starts the massage. Then for an unknown reason the therapist jams both of her elbows into the purple kangaroo. After that I paused it and took the following pictures. Keep in mind that this commercial was supposed to be selling hairspray.







I don’t know what the hell kind of emotion this was supposed to elicit, but I can’t imagine that people want to purchase hairspray from a giant purple vagina. After the kangaroo births the hairspray, which goes flying through the air, the therapist snatchs it out of the air and sprays her hair with it. I can tell you one thing. If I were in a room and something came flying out of someone’s vajeen, I would run as if a there were a giant fuzzy purple vagina in the room. True story.
