Actually I emailed Ivan and asked him to post this ad (Thank you, Ivan!!)

As expected people hate it. As someone else on this site said it "you all are so quick to judge". Why don't you come up with something original or creative yourself? Do you know what Coco de Mer is?? It's an erotic boutique. I put this ad way way above that stupid sheepish ad that we recently saw.

The art is bad? Looks like a flyer for a teens party? Yeah, right. It's interesting that a lot of people on other sites love the design. But then again, most of them are older than you. You are probably even wondering why they included a "red phone off the hook".

The idea of an explosive cum shot is old; however the art direction here is awesome. It's very tongue-in-cheek. Great ad for grown ups, not kiddies.

Keep in mind it was produced for the US market. I am aware that his ad won't "fly" in, say, China, Malaysia, or, worse, North Korea.

Thank you! Several people emailed it actually. Seems to be very popular.

It's bad because it's bad, bro. People don't like it because they just don't like it. Get over it.

But hey, you're welcome to like it if you want. And that's the way that works. Nice, huh?

It's also a very, VERY visual idea, which makes it decidedly un-American in it's creative approach. And there are a TON of sexual and weird ads that come from all corners of the Earth that still manage to be conceptually good, and well-produced. Most of which are on this site, and most of them score better than this.

Opinions are funny things.

PS, I don't think it's that bad at all... but you're taking this rather personally for some reason.

I think it's a rather nice design piece....I'd have fun with it if I got to work on it...only I'd make it more offensive.

It's also VERY visual, which makes it un-American in its creative approach. Huh?? What's that supposed to mean? That everything that comes out of America has to be "subdued", "politically correct", etc? You live in the Bible belt? If you are someone who goes to a sex shop to purchase *****, *****, and *****, to name just a few toys, I don't think you'll be offended by what's being depicted here. In fact the only reason I emailed Ivan about this ad - apparently other people have done the same - is because I knew it would ruffle some feathers. You are right we can agree to disagree on this one. I am not taking anything personal.

He means that a visually-driven ad can transcend cultures or regions. Nothing more.

Sounds like you're in denial buddy.

It's only "ruffling feathers" because most people think it sucks, and the people who did it are pissed.

:P

The ad is bad not for being erotic products´advertising.
It´s bad and not more.

The art direction is tight as hell. Nice line. On target for the client.

Faint of heart - beware.

Yean man..this is a fun joy pop print ad. It's for a sex shop. Come on...its like saying you can't do dick jokes for a condom ad. Relax...it's pretty cool for what it is.

Let's keep advertising fun

I just don't get it. What is the telephone and the send-by-air envelope doing at the top right corner of the ad? Dali's worst nightmare.

Some subtlety could have made this tons better.

Subtlety would have killed it. The thing is most of you have no idea what's going on in the image (who that guy in the bottom left hand corner is, or what the phone or the envelope means, etc) so you can't really appreciate it for its political satire

I like the concept "Like there is no tomorrow", i think it's a clever way to sell an erotic boutique but i really don't like the art direction.

"Why don't you come up with something original or creative yourself? "

You're full of it. Creativity can be reactionary without being bad taste (beside the ad is using age old cliche (accessories), nothing new there). So shut the F* up with your creative and pretentious bit.

I think Marta said it best. Marta is the person who posted before you. Why being so angry? What's with the f language? Relax! Finally, I didn't create this myself. Call the agency and they would confirm that I don't work for them. I don't mind defending an ad (even if that means that some people would hate me for doing that). :-)
