i think maybe there's a logic leap problem. the remote has a condom on implying that by watching playboy, it will want to have sex (since there are lots of sexy women to watch). the condom would imply safe sex. and not getting pregnant. but mostly men watch playboy so the concept would almost seem to be targeting women? it's all a little confusing. but that said, it's only an ad and it's more interesting than most so keep plugging away and you'll get an even better one soon.
question for the art director or any art director: recently, i've noticed a lot of advertising from china has red backgrounds. i know about the power of red in terms of feng shui. and i know about the importance of red in terms of the national flag of china. but how does it add value to this ad?
Lee Moh, Even though I don't totally get the logic of the ad, I wasn't making fun of the ad in any way. My question about the red was genuine whether you believe me or not. I'm always curious why art directors make certain choices and I was just wanting to know why the art director on this ad made the color red. Does red mean sex? Not everywhere. But maybe in China. Which is why I asked.
Be well,

Neil Levy: Can't answer it in terms of all ads, but yes red is somewhat of a "sexy" color. e.g. Red Lips, Red Exotic Sports Cars (Ferrari), Red Lingerie, Power, Hot, are just a few examples of where the color red can really relate to the word sexy. Granted there are other colors that can be sexy, but red goes back a long time. Hope that answers your question.

Wife (from upstairs, clears throat): "Yeah, in a sec! I'm ummmm, "using" it!!!"

give an explanation when you can.

Does really the red color need any justification when talking about sex? What'z up Neil?!
play safe ,watch safe
what's that white thing on the tip of the condom?
Some people use their remote controls inside a nylon container, i think this ad replaces it with a condom..
;)
yawn.
art direction's pretty weak.
i like simple stuff, but i agree thi is kind of ridiculous
the condom is for preventing brown stains on the remote???
so boring...so weak...
Crikey!
I find it cool. Yes it’s quick and expected but neat, simple and has its impact.
Say: “So sexy shows that even the remote would lust for more!”
Say: “Watch safe as you play safe.”
Say anything… the visual open doors for a lot of fun.
I bet if this ad was done by any high-hype-type of agencies then some of you would fall complementing as if it is the award cracker of the year!
Come on guys!
Very easy.

Bad. Expected. Loosing opportunities with a client like that.
