I dont like this campaign, at all. Anyways I think the guys from de 60´s should look more hippies. Don´t you think?
Maybe the hair style is not the correct one.

I think you can find other way to say that the 60´ people was hippies, and they fuck all day (is truth?).

Concept: I like
Art Direction: I like(the home, colours, design).
The way: NO WAY.

Totally agree.

If you're gonna use porno to sell homewares, why stop at cardboard cutouts? Might as well just get some actors and shoot it for real. Bit of porn never hurt anyone right?

But what would I tell my 6 year old niece if she, say, asked what the people in the ad were doing? I think there's a line when it comes to using sex to sell shit. This ad crosses that line.

This ad is lousy and crass.

Idea is OK but as CreADtivE have said: NO WAY!

Bit of porn never hurts anyone??? Well, not in SIngapore. You'll get whip on your arse for spraying graffitti or sticking your leftover chewing gum. How's that?

Ridiculous. Don't get it. Too complicated. To sell beautiful furniture and objects from a retro store you distract it with a silloutte of a porn scene? Makes me think they are selling stuff from a porn shoot. WHO IS YOUR AUDIENCE? Who are you targeting these ads to? This store is selling some great items. This is too easy. You don't see radio shack saying everything electronic, well almost, and sillottes of vibrators and dildos. 60's does not own porn. I'm pretty sure 99% of the population would not go into a retro store to buy 60's porn or looking for sex anything like that. EVERYTHING IS NOTHING. Focus on some neat things on the 60's. These ads need to give a better benefit. Even if you were to write a line about sex in the 60's, not subtle enough. Scrap it. Try again.

This is rubbish. I like sex in ads - but seriously guys.... it's not like the Singaporean bar for good ads is set low either.

This idea has been taken from an artist called Von Brandis:
