I came across this article today. There is an advertisement that has been deemed offensive to Christians. The thought that angels would give up there heavenly place for the (artificial) scent of a man seemed sacrilegious to at least one person in South Africa and the South African authorities banned the ad believing if it upset one it probably would upset many. I'm not sharing this link to make any comment about the banning. No, rather it is because the makers of the commercial have mistaken the object of the angels desire. So, click here and watch the video. See if you notice what I noticed. It ain't the guy these fallen beauties want, it is the ....?.....
The answer I'm looking for will be in the comments. Sorry, no prizes but I do hope you get a chuckle.
Did you see it? It's the Scooter they want!
ReplyDeleteLOL!!!!
ReplyDeleteI like your interpretation.
Dear Keith:
ReplyDeleteThere is always someone ready to get offended over something. I would be a much better person if I thought heaven was full of angels ready to smash their halos over me. And if I thought Axe would have that affect here in New Jersey, I'd roll in it liker a dog.
Fondest regards,

No doubt, they went for the scooters. Nice find!
ReplyDeleteThanks Keith,
ReplyDeleteI think that commercial is stunning, and have watched it many times, enjoying each time. I guess I just think that it's very creative and an interesting play on the concept of a fallen angel. I don't know that they are attracted to the Vespa though. And I love my Vespa. On the religious folks getting their knickers in a twist, don't get me started. Let's just say that I'm a big fan of Bill Marr's Religulous.
I think Vespa should pay the Axe people off & re-write the ending with the angels riding off on the Vespa and says something like "It's hell being an angel".
ReplyDeleteclearly a commercial intended for vespa... just replace the last few seconds with a shot of the scooter and done. ;)
ReplyDeleteFunny, they missed the scooter. If I didn't know it was for Axe, I would have guessed Victoria Secret.
ReplyDeleteI am continually amazed at what people get offended over.........I'm with David on this.
Actually they wanted the helmet to deal with the crash landings!
ReplyDeleteWay too many professional victims in the world today.
lol - Too funny! and I loved the thump at the end. Of course they're taken that guy down, what they want is the scooter!
