Does a close-up photo of gray ear hairs make you want to buy a Volkswagen?
(click ad, via) While I do appreciate the complete lack of a product shot in this VW Touran ad via DDB Stockholm, Sweden, I do not appreciate anything else about it. There're—I'd estimate—about a kabillion other better ways to visualize "roomy." Come on ad people, this is Volkswagen. Lemon? The guy who drives the snowplow? This great 1969 ad?
Previously in VW ads I have not liked at all:
• Creepy (via Italy).
• Sexist (via Lebanon).
• Hackneyed (via Spain)
• Racist (via South Africa).

So you did like the stupid edible road print ad or maybe you just forgot to mention it.

this is WHY i read copyranter - i would not have got it that the ad was for 'roomy'!
it could have been worse - a nose? a big wet dog nose? a scratch and sniff of a mouth with bad breath?

> kabillion
