The Noam Chomsky Show

We have the paternity test results back, and you are not the father … of post-structuralism.

That was excellent.

Sprite Oral Sex Ad Banned in Germany

Okay. A couple things:

NSFW. Really, really NSFW.

Linked to the Huffington Post embed b/c a direct link requires signup (inappropriate content and all that).

NSFW! Seriously. Did I mention that?

Just curious, what part of “Oral sex ad banned in Germany” implied “Safe For Work”?

Okay, I consider myself a rock climber, but that is just unreal. I can imagine those hand holds, those body movements, and my hands just start to sweat.

Sprite Oral Sex Ad Banned in Germany

That’s not a real ad. I can promise you Sprite/Coca-Cola company didn’t approve the concept or pay for it.

An agency probably produced this on spec (meaning no one asked them to do it). Sometimes they do this just to get buzz for their agency. So it’s basically just something someone made for youtube, it’s not banned anywhere because no one was ever going to put it on TV.

A better example of a spec ad too sexy for the client (JC Penney):

In either case it’s a really dick move. “Oh, hey Coca Cola INC, I thought I’d besmirch your corporate image with an inflammatory, fake ad featuring one of your products. Do you like it? People are really pissed, huh? Please hire me!”

The free viral marketing will likely soften the blow.

People don’t make spec ads expecting to get hired by the one product featured anyway.

Brad_Grenz · 2009-07-20T21:39:20.000Z

Coke has their fingers in a ton of pies, though.

Mordrak · 2009-07-20T21:42:15.000Z

And the ad is already gone, due to trademark infringement. Wooo!

Did someone say spec soda ad?

Shieldwolf · 2009-07-21T00:08:57.000Z

I don’t even know what to say about this one.

Mike_O_Malley · 2009-07-21T04:21:57.000Z

That it’s not as funny as this.

Mordrak · 2009-07-21T04:31:07.000Z

The duncanbros don’t disappoint, but my personal favorite is the Windexone. It has the most pathos of their commercials I’ve seen.

Dave_Perkins · 2009-07-21T05:03:02.000Z

That was ‘pathos’?

Nellie · 2009-07-21T05:23:33.000Z

Aramis was my favourite.
