Ad agencies fascinate me. They use every means at their disposal to get their clients message across to the gullible public.
Remember Islington Council's famous "hot dog" turd advert ?
Or the French business man's "lucky" advert ?
Now a Philippine ad agency has taken things to the next level when advertising Tolnaftate anti fungal cream and God is it a level that none of us want to ever get to!
I've had athletes foot before, as I'm sure most of you have, but I have never had anything that makes me feel that me feet are made of dog shit!
This "award winning" and very successful billboard advert attracted so many complaints that even a Philippine Government spokesperson was forced to comment, "I hate foot fungus, smelly feet & dog fouling ... if Tolnaflate can raise awareness of all these issues then its good for the country & good for the world".
I wonder if Nike want to sponsor these trainers ? :-)
