Who approved this steaming pile?
ETA: You know, I watched this once more to compare to the American version and it’s pissing me off all over again. Within about 25 seconds, this vid manages to present the black woman with an Afro as the owner of an unmanageable “bush,” followed by “sassy” wink, an Asian woman with a dainty “garden” followed by FUCKING STEREOTYPICAL GEISHA GIGGLE AND MOUTH COVERING, and the blonde white lady as the normative middle ground.
Way to sell sexual stereotypes, Schick/Wilkerson. Seriously? Fuck you. I do groom, and I’m in the market for a new trimmer, and your ad agency has just ensured my money goes straight to Remington, assholes.
i can’t believe that is real
Yeah, apparently it is. I’ve seen ads for this product here in the states that were subtle - no heinous theme song, the same concept of grooming bushes - and even that was pretty ridiculous.
They can get away with more abroad, obviously. I hope the actresses were well paid for the ad posted above, because they’re going to be walking into auditions having casting agents going, “Hey, landing strip! Harharhar.”
Wow. Am I drunk? Did I just hallucinate that? “Mow the lawn”? What if I break out into hives by mowing the lawn?
Who the fuck put acid in my chai?
I prefer the American one for being more subtle.
