Advertisements from Foreign Lands

Dynagrip

I just got back from a trip to France and one of the weirder things I saw was Orangina's advertising campaign. Apparently in French culture furries are a perfectly valid mascot for orange-flavored soft drinks.









Also, there were so many commercials on TV for stupid cell phone goofy sounds type stuff. I guess that sort of stuff is really popular over there. I dunno.

What odd commercials and such have y'all seen during your travels and whatnot?

go to any country where english is not the main language and every phone booth and street pole and wall is covered in phone sex flyers

One of my favorite things about travelling through small-towns in the US and Canada are the local tv commercials. Like for some used car lot or furniture store. Like with the owner and his daughters 'acting'. Great fun every time.

God I need to take a week off for a road trip.

We get the same sort of thing over here. They're on at least once an advert break and run through every single irritating tone they have, so are at least a minute or two long.

It's easy to see how they make their money as in the small print you're subscribing to a £5 / week download service where you get 3 ringtones a week.

This dealer in Akron has a Sunday morning TV thing where they sell cars over the air or something and the guy pimps out his daughter like wow.

I feel it's my duty to point out that that furry commercial for the orangina wasn't totally accurate

there are Peacocks in it, with the brightly colored blue and green plumage and huge fat titties

everyone knows that only male Peacocks have the blue and green plumage

I should write the advertisers a letter

I like the whopper freakout commercials where Burger King plays a big trick that they ditched the whopper and all the 300 pounders lose their shit.
