The strangest add campaign I have ever seen.

Macs and their What The Flavour video commercials for their frosters...

I will go on record and say, I was never a fan of any froster campaign in the past (this latest one included). Anyone remember the bloody puss posters a few years back. I remember talking to a Mac's employee back then and she told me a lot of people complained about them. Well, I was surfing the net and came across one of their ads tucked at the bottom of the screen. It pulled me into clicking on it (something that I never do with advertising). Very very disturbing stuff. Anyways, I quickly found that there were others. I have linked them from YouTube in case your curious like me. Just don't compare me to Mac the YouTubeaholic (yes..double pun intended) [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/smile.gif[/img]

What are your thoughts on this? Personally, I find them disturbing on so many levels. There are several social commentaries that are out right shocking when placed in an add, which is their intent.

WARNING: The following link contain bleeped out swear words (not very well done mind you), disturbing imagery, and shocking content. You have been warned...


All 11 Macs adverts on YouTube.

LMFAO ok definately not made for tv but some of them were funny Chako. JMO!

I found them rather disturbing. I have not been impressed with any of the advertisments they have put out since the bloody pus ones. Distasteful if you ask me.

Scary what society has become that it takes ads like that to sell their products! [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]

Exactly what I was thinking when I found these inadvertently. None of them make me want to go out and buy their drinks. Guess I am not their target audience....although, not sure exactly what their target audience is to be honest.

I watched some of those ads, a VERY bizarre concept if you ask me. [img]/ubbthreads/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/confused.gif[/img]

I felt sick after I watched a couple of them. I still feel sick though, think it's something that I ate, but I'm sure the videos didn't help any.

everyone of them was in poor taste and the Company should be ashamed at it's self for making them.

I don't get them. Do they sell a lot of the product?
