ABSOLUT KRAP.
Absolut's advertising hasn't been even mildly interesting for years—the Swedish vodka seriously needs a fresh execution (I'll do it for a one-time fee of one million dollars, V&S Vin & Sprit AB. Hello?). But; this ad took the campaign from Blandsville to Shitburgh. It is trying so so so so so so so hard to be cool. So hard, it makes me physically ill.Yeah, snake that guitar cord. More snaking! Let's try a couple of different thicknesses on the cord. Is that enough jewelry and piercings? Let's shoot him in 10 different dark shades of wifebeater and 6 different tightnesses. Also, 1, 2 and 3 days beard-growth. We'll do aviators, wrap-arounds, mirror lens. Make sure those tats are hot-lit!!!
Total cost of 2-week photo shoot: $13,687,239.57

And what amp takes a cord plug that size (with the possibly exception of Courtney Love)?
In 1994, I saw the Len-ster cooling it down a street in NOLA.
He was "in character" with two blondes and 3 pit bulls on a leash for full effect. THe blondes, too, may have been on a leash. His poseur-ness still lingers there, outsmelling the decomposing bodies post-Katrina.
Lets bring the account people and the creatives, and the planners and the jr copy writer and everyone. We need a thousand meetings to discuss this stupid ad thats going to run in 20 stupid magazines over the course of one month. lets make sure we create a big enough estimate because i sure as hell ain't getting out of bed for breakfast -- not for TWO WEEKS.
Ab is battery acid vodka
bring back the bottle image
or get the heck out
Kravitz suxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx.
Nice way to crop his head. Since, he doesn't have his fro no mo'...who cares.
as for the bottle image big enough to satisfy the itchy client...
what's next...sponsoring "happy hours" in the Lower east side and williamsburg along with Sparks?
All i can think of is my poor little ads that attempt to have an indea in them but cant even get $500 for a stock photo :(
Dumb..
Pls, pls. Never write the names Hendrix and Kravitz in a single line.
That's a guitar cord, a guitar chord would be G minor for example.
(sheepishly) thank you ken. I've corrected it.
The cord of this man made the sex into Denise Huxtable. This man makes a jealous me. I make many sexes with many womens in disco bathroom floor but never with Cosby kids.
Okay, okay. You have me. I did make the sex to a German hooker with looks of Theo once, but I didn't like it.
Okay, okay. Again you have me. I did like it -- but, I failed to cum.
Okay, okay. Cummmed twice and loved it. Makes you happy now? Sheeshus.
The Adshels (aka bus shelter posters) that simply say Absolut Kravitz, have given me the impression that Kravitz is a Jewish swear word. Now, not being familiar with many Jews, I could be mistaken but I've now taken to using the terms absolute kravitz to mean something that is broken, crappy etc...
Narnia - I had the misfortune to work on this project and that's EXACTLY what happended.
i was working with rob thomas on his solo record, dude smokes a lot of cheeb from the cartoon network, think that's been shut down though. in the middle of one deep cheeb sesh he asks me what it would be like for lenny to have his tv remote die and have to stand up and walk over to the tv, rob then proceeded to act this out and it killed me, the guy must always be on, even by himself.
All the cheese in the world couldn't/wouldn't prevent me from eating Lenny's ass corn...assuming he'd let me. He could be shilling for Tampons and it wouldn't take away from his fuckability one bit!
Was that Rob Thomas the Musician or Rob Thomas the writer? You and your damn civil disobedience!
