orangina ad, venting
I'm holding myself back from tearing into babe's replies on the Orangina ad like a I'm a verbal wrecking ball.
People who aren't into it.
Well maybe some people are into it and if you're not you need to shut the fuck up and let people enjoy nice things.
People who think it isn't good advertising/branding/marketing
You absolutely do no know what the fuck you are talking about. Moulin Rouge! [2001] had still anchored a sense of French sexiness in people's minds which Orangina could absolutely capitalise on. It's not a a market leader looking to do bland and capitalise on social pressure (ie, Coke, Pepsi) It's not even the leading orange tasting drink, being behind Fanta and Tango. It's less sweet and more flavoursome than it's competitors so chasing an adult market with something controversial was absolutely right. It doesn't need to appeal to everyone. It just needs to develop a core who love it. Which this ad very much delivers. For 2007, Loaded, Zoo and Nuts still in publication this absolutely not the most sexualised thing people were seeing on TV or the newsstands.
Octopuses don't have tits.
Octopuses have had tits since The Little Mermaid [1989] at the very least. Eat my ass.
