Tampon USB

A lot of the blogs and articles I've found online for the Tampon USB are pretty much filled with disgust and horror. Hmm. Hands up if you think it was a guy who wrote them?! I'm betting that if it was a giant penis or fake poo they'd be chortling like maniacal gnomes.

What I like is that whoever came up with this has a great sense of humour; they come in 3 different data 'flows' - light, regular and super. I'm also tempted to get one and take it to a client meeting. Imagine whipping that baby out in front of the suits!

I'm still trying to find out where to get one from - if anyone knows, please get in touch!

Feeling rough around the edges? It feels great to trim the hedges. MOW THE LAWN with Wilkinson

Ahh, another ad promoting the Wilkinson Sword Quattro for Women Bikini Razor following the 'bush' theme. The pretty girls have left the subtle transforming bushes and are now physically giving each of their bushes a decent trim. Whether that's with secateurs or a hedge trimmer, each girl bounces around manically happy to be trimming their bush. Whether their bush is really big, or 'mighty small', Wilkinson Sword can deal with them all. 

Whilst the tune may be catching and upbeat, I imagine there may be viewers who are furry-ous with the racial stereotyping and imagery within the video.

Oh, I forgot to mention. They also succeeded in getting a cat in there too. Love it. 

Look after your beaver. You've only got one.

I know it's a year old already at the time of writing but this still makes me laugh. Crass and unsubtle, I bet many other creatives are wildly jealous that they didn't have the guts to pitch this to the client in the hope that it'd somehow knock them off their precious 'Delicate issue, must tread carefully' perch and they'd ok it. 

The infamous ozzie Kotex ad features an attractive woman who goes about her daily business with her pet beaver. They have lunch together, sit on the beach together and have their nails done together. 

The voice-over completes the ad with 'You've only got one. So for the ultimate care down there, make it U.'

It received much criticism. Perhaps it wasn't the best idea to air it the day after International Women's Day.

Personally, I think it's great. It's funny, controversial and would appeal to their target audience of 18-24  year olds. Shame they didn't use a pussycat.
