There’s a great ad doing the rounds on ‘teh intertubes’ (that’s ‘the internet’ for those not down wiv da kidz…) at the moment. In fact it’s not often I praise ads, but every now and then something comes up which is sheer genius for one reason or another. For that reason, I’m going to start an occasional series right here on this blog.
This pic below is the one I’m talking about that’s doing the rounds right now:
I’ll stick the text in the comments section in case you still can’t read it.
This pic above is actually a fake, and not an official Nike ad. You can see by the awful spelling and grammar. It’s actually a redesign of Nike’s 2005 ad (part of a series) with the same text. Here’s the original.
Ads like this which actually attempt to impose a healthy body image are few and far between, so despite being a fake, spread it around. Click on the Facebook “Like” button at the bottom of this post. Use any of the “Share” options to spread the word… Whatever, just show your friends, and especially if you have teenagers.
Anyone who doesn’t like you sharing with them… well you know where to invite them to kiss! 🙂
And be sure to let me know what you think of these ads in the comments below.
Text from the ad:
“MY BUTT is Big and round like the letter C, and ten thousand lunges has made it rounder but not smaller, and that’s just fine.
It’s a space heater for my side of the bed.
It’s my ambassador to those who walk behind me.
It’s a border collie that herds skinny women away from the best deals at clothing sales.
My butt is big and thats just fine, and those who might scorn it are invited to kiss it.”
great post, thanks for sharing
