It's always nice to play with the expectations and prejudices of the audiences like they did in this clip.
And also good to know, that the fashion business and the shoe industry in Nigeria is developing so well and is already serving a worldwide market with their original products. I wasn't aware of that fact yet. Or does the ad tell the audience, that it is safe and ok to buy fraudulent copies from questionable sources?
no.
good point.

caught me by what a nice surprise - faith restored.
somehow i liked that twist
Quite really.
very much with JobstVonHeintze!!!
These kind of advertising got me used to consider them as they have two totally separate issues within: visual - message. Watched the visual as a cute clip and enjoyed... Hate the message especially if it is intended.
This racist commercial relies on your prejudices and in doing so only reinforces them. You are left thinking, "boy that was scary when that black guy got that credit card information, good thing this one wasn't a criminal like other black, but he sure did look shifty."
