She´s a plastic doll.

Mandark's picture 281 pencils

let's make an add and make sure that works with the subconscious. we'll let them see boobs but actually think "my gosh what a beautiful hair" i may have ADD...didn't make it paste my eyes...

"U think it's perfect?! Press delete and start again!"

Uh... right...

Maybe it's a cultural thing.

jorj's picture 470 pencils

the ad says real hair in a fake world or something like that.

jorj's picture 470 pencils

she should cover her face.

Mandark's picture 281 pencils

@ jorj

do we care anymore if they're fake? fake boobs = fake world? that's a bit...drastic.

These ads are utterly repugnant. Talk about insulting a woman's intelligence. I can't believe they got the green light from the client.

Text: "Ensure that your hair will be the second thing he will look at."

Rommis's picture 74 pencils

Tá legal, peitão, cabelão, etc. Assim caminha a publicidade brasileira (depois não sabem porque o país é visto como um dos paraísos do turismo sexual). Agora esse Photoshop na cara da modelo, fala sério!!! Tá digno do Photoshop Disasters. Não admira que a segunda coisa a ser olhada vá ser o cabelo...

Kind of work in Europe that makes women hate the product.

Simple ideas are the best !

carolg88's picture 27 pencils

it says something like "garanta que el cabello sea la segunda cosa que el va a reparar en usted", which means "make sure your hair is the second thing he'll notice about you"

keddy's picture 136 pencils

So what are they selling again? Fake boobs?

babahall's picture 38 pencils

Really...why bother with copy? With Boobs like that no one's gonna even realise its an ad, much less a pseudo intelligent one...

Anurag Sahu's picture 102 pencils

looks more or less like an Breast Enhancement Ad, or an ad that says
" Bra for xxl "

He notices only one thing and hangs on to it, doesn't give a f*** about hair..

HowardRoark's picture 109 pencils

the text in the circle says something like: MAKING YOUR HAIR THE SECOND THING THEY WILL NOTICE ABOUT YOU

SWReedy's picture 30 pencils

If you are trying to appeal to a woman's sense of humor, you don't do it from a 14 year old boy's perspective.

Guest commenter's picture

love it!
great
tits!

Guest commenter's picture

To the loser who said 'love it great tits' clearly you have less brain cells than an amoeba and need a girlfriend. Maybe one day you will view women as something more than airbrushed eye candy

Guest commenter's picture

Not to mention the fact that they are not great tits, they are tits that more closely resemble a pair of melons than anything normally attached to a human being

mamasama's picture

They look as if they hurt. As if her skin hurts. Poor thing!

Someone who has never used shampoo and does not know what it is used for is going to think you rub it on your chest to make your boobs grow.

meganlynnrooney's picture

*NEWSFLASH!* Women do NOT like their breasts to be stared at! Nor any part of our bodies for that matter, we are not decoration for your viewing pleasure! We are human beings just like you! With hopes and dreams and brains and flaws

*NEWSFLASH* Selling sex is WRONG! It creates depression in women, along with low self-esteem and unattainable standards of beauty.

Not to mention you are giving temptation to men and dumbing them down.

IF THIS WAS YOUR WIFE, GIRLFRIEND, FIANCE, DAUGHTER, SISTER, AUNT, COUSIN, WHAT WOULD YOU THINK? WOULD YOU APPROVE? Because that IS someone's sister, mother, and so on....

Guest commenter's picture

wow, really intelligent guys! What makes you think that women will rush to buy pantene after seeing huge breasts?! Are you really that F*%&ing stupid?!

BAD COPY

Guest commenter's picture

Hmmm .... For this Pantene goes on my boycotted products list. Shame really, cos its quite good shampoo.

veemaster's picture 33 pencils

Boom...!

Guest's picture

the worst part is that pantene ( women's product) came up with this....ill tell u this much..its anot that appealing to women as it to men

Guest's picture

Am only looking at the boobs...not really what I should be looking at right?

djvm98's picture 233 pencils

purely cultural concept:
- extra "hot latinos" only will see boobs, while latin girls will get it better
- correct, she´s not actually blonde (for brazilians maybe yes)
- this ad is absolutely a big no-no since it´s sexist and uses women as an object (again pretty common stereotype in latin cultures)
- this idea could never have been approved in Europe
