McDonald’s In The Rain – Missed It!

Husk vi også servere tørvejr – this Danish ad says to remember that McDonald’s also serves in dry weather. So…we pair a miserable day, and a woman who looks totally miserable with a product you want people to feel good about. MISSED IT

Anti-Fat Ad -French Ministry of Health – MISSED IT!

Missed It By That Much

Face it France. People turn away from things that gross them out. How many overweight people report feeling invisible a lot of the time because the world shuts them out. This doesn’t make someone want to lose weight. It just makes them turn the page.

Colon Cancer Screening – Missed It By That much

Colon cancer screening is critical but this ad looks more like it is promoting losing weight and you won’t get colon cancer. Giving people one more reason to avoid getting screened. Definitely missed it with this one. Too bad Canada.

Hair Removal Ad – Grossing Out the Buyers

Missed It By That Much!
The idea is obviously that the hair removal product is so easy and so effective that this man’s chest rug comes right off. But the alluding to skin pulling away from the body is too gross for words. Skinning this man alive – even if only a layer or two of his skin – is an image that probably doesn’t make most people think “oooo! great product”. And those that do think that..maybe are good folks to be your customers.
