Hot Chicks in Ads Aren’t Always What They Seem

toyota_auris_stav_strashko.jpg

You know what they say about making assumptions, right? Well be sure you take that to heart when you view this Japanese Toyota Auris ad which features 19-year-old transgender model Stav Strashko.

Don’t worry, It’s not a Crying Game shocker. This is advertising so the reveal is much more subtle.

So this has been out for a while but it is too good not to share. Thailand’s ThaiHealth enlisted kids to ask adults (some of which look like kids themselves) for a light for their cigarette.

While enlisting kids to help in an effort like this is both questionable and brilliant, one this is clear; the campaign worked. After their encounter with the kids, adults put their cigarettes out and ThaiHealth saw a 40 percent increase in inquiries from smokers who wanted to quit.

Andes: O homem com mão de garrafa

Uma história de amor complicada. Uma homem com garrafas de cerveja presas para sempre nos dedos – com medo de sair de casa – e uma mulher que faz de tudo para ajudar.

Um dia ele consegue se livrar dessa condição, mas qual foi a cura? Seria a dedicação de sua companheira? “Edward Mão de Tesoura” até tinha um coração, mas o protagonista do comercial da Andes parece que não.

A criação é da Del Campo Nazca Saatchi & Saatchi.
