But for Lavazza, I would defend them. I like their advertisements because it obviously has nothing to do with coffee. Usually they look better than this one, but yeah... maybe it is my east-european natural predisposition for irony... but I do think it is meant to be funny.<BR/><BR/>Thinking it again, now there is a whole trend of advertisement when they create a funny story that has obviously nothing to do with the product, but you enjoy the story. Like a wash-machine ad where the woman puts her skinny clumsy boyfriend in the machine, presses the "on" button, and gets at the end a handsome boyfriend full of muscles out of the wash-machine. I saw some of this kind of ad on french television (seldom because I don't have that TV-machine at home). I like this trend, and for me, Lavazza is something similar. But maybe it is only a french national trend ?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-26970576157482610852008-12-20T10:59:00.000+00:002008-12-20T10:59:00.000+00:00Ah, you just need a pelt on your back and it'll se...Ah, you just need a pelt on your back and it'll seem very natural.Eolake Stobblehousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07126147415891586345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-87717278983590832932008-12-20T10:51:00.000+00:002008-12-20T10:51:00.000+00:00"Eolake said...Advertising is usually as subtle as..."Eolake said...<BR/>Advertising is usually as subtle as a sledge hammer."<BR/><BR/>Right! Perhaps they just needed to supply a bigger cup...to distract us from the other and reel us back to what's really being advertised, here?! lol!

The wolf-looking supermodel is funny to me, with her long supermodel legs counterbalanced by the ridiculous wolf-fur and the wolfness in the facial expression, also quite ridiculous... Well, I have not spent a long time thinking of it. I found it relatively ugly but quite funny.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16327517.post-74989932553473006002008-12-19T22:09:00.000+00:002008-12-19T22:09:00.000+00:00These images the really bad one and the Leibowizt ...These images the really bad one and the Leibowizt schlocky(?) coffee calendar remind me, kinda, of Pirelli calendars.<BR/><BR/>Pirelli calendars always seem like they are trying too hard, sometimes the images are good, othertimes it's a simple case of WTF.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it's that time of year when you probably want to discuss calendars.Alexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11434318898333768620noreply@blogger.com
