Yeah! Americans would never use sex to advertise something!

[–]breakfast_champ 47 points48 points ago

The difference is that American culture doesn't allow for the sexual implications in the ad to be blatantly called out. God forbid mentioning sex in an advertisement

[–]acespace 22 points23 points ago

And stuff like this gets marked "NSFW"

[–]CubbyRed 17 points18 points ago

Seriously. There is nothing NSFW about this ad.

[–]TheInternetHivemind 50 points51 points ago

Except that if you open it at work you might get fired.

But apart from that, totally safe for work.

[–]TheApatheist 2 points3 points ago

If stuff like this gets you fired, go find another workplace I'd say. I'd never want to work for a company that uptight.

EDIT: I'm a bit surprised by all the downvotes. Do you guys approve of this strictness then? Would some people care to explain why the downvote? I seriously couldn't imagine being happy at work in such an environment, I'm sorry.

[–]TheInternetHivemind 27 points28 points ago

You know, in a lot of places Reddit itself is NSFW and might get you fired.

[–]TheApatheist 0 points1 point ago

I work in Europe, they don't know Reddit here. And those pictures would be the least of their concern if I get my job done.

But I'm working a desk job for a brewery firm... thank god it's quite laid back. I wouldn't trade that informal company mentality for a 20% raise.

[–]TheApatheist 4 points5 points ago

Depends if I need the money or not I suppose. Money isn't important, smiles are.

[–]TheInternetHivemind 1 point2 points ago

21% raise?

[–]JovaBoswell 1 point2 points ago

What about your normal wage plus a couple of raisins?

[–]larcenousTactician 5 points6 points ago

Not everyone can afford to choose where they work. If the only work you can get it at a strict workplace, what are you gonna do?

[–]TheApatheist 0 points1 point ago

Stay and look for another one while I'm at it I suppose. It costs a lot of time and energy, granted, but who'd willingly want to spend the majority of his waking hours at an unpleasant place?

I'm trying to understand America, in fact I like the country, but I just can't understand this workaholic/fun-is-forbidden attitude to the best of my abilities. When there's no work at the desk or you're waiting for someone, what's a few minutes of Reddit going to do except make your waiting time for the next task a little less arduous?

Happy employee = productive employee, no?

[–]larcenousTactician 1 point2 points ago

I totally agree, trust me, I'm lucky enough to have a job where our boss is very relaxed. I certainly don't mean to give the impression that most bosses ARE horrible taskmasters, just that some are, and that some folks would rather have money than not.

[–]TheApatheist 0 points1 point ago

Yea, the focus on monetary value as a goal instead of just a tool to be more comfortable/happy is tough to understand. But to each his own of course. Reading Reddit could make you believe the whole of the US is humorless, overly sensitive and just corporate greed. I like counterweights to those stories, so thanks and good luck at your job :)

American culture has no problem with tits and vagina (and the occasional dong). It all comes from the sexually-repressed twats at the MPAA and the FCC that use their position of power to impose their will of assfuckery on the rest of us.

Sex? What sex?

[–]skipdog172 0 points1 point ago

What are you talking about? They certainly do.

[–]Airazz 0 points1 point ago

This one goes the opposite way, though. It's not "Use this and you will get laid" style.

[–]Tier4 52 points53 points ago

Yeah, pretty progressive.

[–]Tier4 29 points30 points ago

It isn't the nudity. It's the lowest-common-denominator bullshit that objectifies women and treats men like idiots.

I don't buy products that do that shit. Don't even think of bringing Axe body spray into my house. I don't like advertising that insults my intelligence with an unrealistic and shameless portrayal of women.

[–]Kriskras 5 points6 points ago

But this ad does not insult women does it?

[–]bubblybooble 8 points9 points ago

Sexual desire does not correlate in any way with IQ.

You are full of shit.

[–]Tier4 7 points8 points ago

Using a naked woman to advertise a product that has nothing to do with naked women only works on the the most pathetic of men.

[–]skipdog172 0 points1 point ago

You don't seem to understand how advertising works.

[–]MadMagyar92 3 points4 points ago

I don't think you've ever seen an Axe commercial before. It basically says "if you buy this, girls will tackle you for sex." You'd have to be pretty dumb if that form of advertising got you to buy their product versus any other form of cologne/deodorant.

[–]Tamil_Tigger 2 points3 points ago

I think their ads are made a little tounge in cheek.

[–]K-A-ScH 2 points3 points ago

Calm down. Some people actually like the smell. Would you rather Axe advertised themselves as selling a product that marginally increased the likelihood of the user getting laid? In fact I'm pretty sure that there is a perfume with a name along the lines of "Sex Grenade" - whatever. Plus, Axe isn't the only one who does this. It's not like KY or whatever it's called doesn't pretty much out and say "Use our product and you'll have the best sex you've ever fucking had."

[–]MadMagyar92 0 points1 point ago

I'm pretty calm. I really don't care who else does it. My point was in response to bubblebooble who stated that Tier4 "was full of shit." I feel to the contrary of his statement, and I expressed my opinion.

[–]bubblybooble 0 points1 point ago

I've seen the commercials. They're not promising sex. They're situating the product within a narrative of sexual attraction There's a nuance there. Those commercials go through multiple levels of legal scrutiny to make sure that they're not making any explicitly unfounded claims they can be sued for. They're simply telling a story. Unilever's lawyers are smarter than you. Suck it.

P.S. There is no other kind of cologne/deodorant commercial. They all situate the product within narratives of sexual attraction. You cannot find a single exception.

[–]MadMagyar92 0 points1 point ago

Was not disagreeing with sexual attraction. I was disagreeing with the tactlessness of the advertisement. And the promise of sex is implied to the viewer. Please do go on about telling me to suck it, it adds a lot.

[–]bubblybooble 0 points1 point ago

Axe does not explicitly promise sex. Their lawyers are smart about it. You are not smart about it. You don't know shit.

You also have been unable to show even a single cologne/deodorant commercials that does not tell a narrative of sexual attraction.

[–]MadMagyar92 0 points1 point ago

Neither have you bud. I really don't care. If you wanna keep talking, go for it, but I'm more or less done with this thread.

[–]bubblybooble 0 points1 point ago

Why would I do your job? The burden of proof is on you and you've failed it.

[–]skipdog172 0 points1 point ago

Boggles my mind that some of you can't grasp the fact that many women do in fact, like the smell of some of the Axe sprays.

MIND BLOWING for some of you I'm sure...

[–]MadMagyar92 0 points1 point ago

My girlfriend does like the smell of Axe. That's not, in anyway, having to do with the point I'm making. The point is, Axe commercials over-sensationalize their impact by suggesting girls will only like you SOLELY cause of your smell.

[–]ChagSC 0 points1 point ago

No he isn't and that's not what he said. He is talking about the advertising stereotype of hot women and beer drinking Joe Average. With the implication of using the product makes you Joe Special instead of average.

[–]bubblybooble 0 points1 point ago

The ad in the OP only works on the premise that the viewer is nothing more than Joe Average and will never be anything more than Joe Average.

You didn't get the ad. You sound dumb.

[–]ChagSC 0 points1 point ago

I sound dumb? The comment you replied to was talking about the cliche American ads as was I. We were not talking about the original ad. Reading comprehension. Learn it.

[–]bubblybooble 0 points1 point ago

This thread isn't about cliche American ads. Learn Reddit.

[–]ChagSC 0 points1 point ago

Then why did you reply to him Mr. Interne Bad Ass? Get a job.

[–]bubblybooble 0 points1 point ago

I replied with relevant content. Being irrelevant is their problem to set right, not mine.

[–]TheInternetHivemind 0 points1 point ago

For most people boobs trump this. It's what works. If saving kittens made money, they'd do it. If launching those kittens into the ocean made money, they'd do that too.

[–]stillalone 13 points14 points ago

That does not make it ok.

[–]Rosetti 45 points46 points ago

Why not?

The post has 695 upvotes. People are enjoying this content. Who are you to say that they are not allowed to look at this, just because you or anyone else has seen it before?

[–]stillalone 12 points13 points ago

That's not what I'm saying. You should upvote content that you enjoy but you shouldn't upvote stuff just because the username implies that it's a repost.

And I didn't notice the username before I saw SimilarImage so I think he's still useful even if the username implies that it will be a repost.

[–]DownvoteALot 4 points5 points ago

The username implies that it recycles content. Indeed, OP took the same content and reposted it under another title that gives it a different purpose. The mildly received content triggers a better reaction as a result. Recycling success.

Although I haven't checked if OP's history is consistent with this, I'm okay with the principle. But you have to do it right.

I am sorry to tell you this but not all women are prostitutes.

[–]nixonrichard 0 points1 point ago

Only women who sell their bodies for money . . . which clearly this paid model didn't do.

[–]waviecrockett 24 points25 points ago

yup, obviously the same thing.

[–]Zalitara 2 points3 points ago

Actually only the ones that sell sex for money, which this woman may do, but we have no way of knowing from just looking at the picture. Being a model is not the same thing as being a prostitute.

[–]garja 1 point2 points ago

I agree with your sentiment. The presentation is very odd given the message the advertisers would want to send. One would be forgiven for thinking for a moment she might be a prostitute - the dead-eyed stare is the biggest part, but that she is splayed out in skimpy clothing and entirely impractical footwear, complete with belly piercing and surrounded by darkness - the tone comes off as slightly seedy, not classy and out of reach.

The advert would have worked just as well by showing a lot less skin and putting her in a more social, less soulless environment.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points ago

Well, sure they seem better to redditors. Redditors are obsessed with sex and shitty advertising.

Downvote, obviously.

[–]matzo1991 1 point2 points ago

The ad is made by Duvalle Guillaume, a belgian-born, gone international advertisement agency with a fair share of daring AND/XOR original advertisements. http://www.duvalguillaume.com/news/

[–]warcin 1 point2 points ago

Because hot, young and obviously fit people are the ones that get a majority or transplanted organs... That being said I support the cause though. If I am dead I don't need them anymore, someone may as well get use out of them

[–]andrewdeba 1 point2 points ago

Have you seen the Kate Upton ads? We gotcha beat bro.

[–]dannyduh 1 point2 points ago

Why did this post have to be a Country war? Why couldn't it be just a "hey, check out this funny ad!". Why are Europeans on reddit always trying to "one-up" Americans?

[–]Boa220 0 points1 point ago

Seriously...

[–]FaZaCon 10 points11 points ago

So, rather than compassion for their fellow man, and generosity, Europeans must plead to the most basic of instincts to get a message through to their people. Ya, much better.

[–]bubblybooble 11 points12 points ago

The compassionate already donate their organs. An ad's purpose is to reach out to the unconverted.

[–]RandomWeirdShit 0 points1 point ago

I feel like this would just make people bitter and they wouldn't donate out of spite.

[–]bubblybooble 1 point2 points ago

Your feelings are invalid.

[–]Sheepyhead 2 points3 points ago

Europeans can take a joke.

[–]NiceAndTruthful 2 points3 points ago

Its a somewhat amusing advert that brings to attention the need for organ donation without being a massive downer.

If "compassion and generosity" was all that was needed for someone to bring up the will to donate I'm sure the transplant list would be much shorter. As it is, many people never consider that their organs may be of use to someone else. This advert brings this attention to the mainstream while not being one of those overly depressing "For just three pounds a month, you can increase the chances that we'll stop showing you pictures of dead babies during your evening meal..." adverts that are so damn popular these days.

Then again, as someone in dire need of an organ, maybe I'm biased. Something is better than nothing.

[–]stareattheart 0 points1 point ago

I think this was in UK. This ad never run in my country.

Last time I checked, we haven't floated away to Africa or Asia.

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points ago

HOW IS THIS EFFECTIVE? THIS AD IS INSULTING TO ME.

It's also saying women are for nothing more but sex.

[–]Veret 36 points37 points ago

It gets your attention, makes you laugh, and then tells you to go do something selfless for the good of humanity. You know it's okay to be feminist and have a sense of humor, right?

[–]lydocia 2 points3 points ago

That's Belgium for you.

Edit: The extension of the website is .be - that's what gives it away. I haven't seen the advertisement personally.

The organisation depicted is also certainly Belgian.

[–]whole_lotta_magic 2 points3 points ago

If it's from Belgium, any idea why the ad is in English?

[–]Fealakwen 9 points10 points ago

Cause it's the only way to make the add easily understandable by the whole population?

[–]DownvoteALot 3 points4 points ago

100 years from now, Belgium speaks exclusively English.

Unless they get rid of the French in time.

[–]FuckingLoveCamelCase 0 points1 point ago

RACE WAR!!!

[–]rotzooi 6 points7 points ago

You will see this happen more and more, especially in northern Europe. Everyone speaks English to a degree, but young people who've grown up with the internet will often "code switch" during conversation and insert an English word into a Dutch or Norwegian sentence.

Languages are evolving and currently the internet has a huge influence. I like it.

[–]nixonrichard 5 points6 points ago

That's how they do it in Belgium. It's a called a "Belgian Dip."

[–]matzo1991 3 points4 points ago

Are you sure? Everyone in Belgium is organ donor by default anyway...

Unless your immediate family explicitly speaks against it, that is... Which is why you can still explicitly state consent. And you should, imho!;)

EDIT: Never mind, the ad says reborntobealive.be, and that sure is a Belgian organisation.

[–]nixonrichard 0 points1 point ago

I'm quite sure. Belgian Dip.

[–]matzo1991 1 point2 points ago

Yes, you're right. I still wonder why there's an ad however.

[–]Kalouless 2 points3 points ago

Standard advertising procecure. Make original in local language, and then make an english version for award contests, meanwhile hoping it'll go viral on the web.

[–]LukaCola 1 point2 points ago

1/3 speaks French, the rest speaks Dutch.

But everyone speaks English to a degree.

[–]lydocia 0 points1 point ago

Make it more half and half, don't forget the German and give up on the idea that the French are willingly learning any other language than their own.

[–]MaxiPackage 1 point2 points ago

60-40.

[–]lydocia 0 points1 point ago

Because many ads are in English?

I don't know, making an ad in English reaches more people than picking one of the three official languages and/or is a lot cheaper than producing them in all of the three languages and distributing them accordingly.

Everything sounds better in English, anyway.

[–]Narfhole 0 points1 point ago

What is this ad even selling?

[–]Dsch1ngh1s_Khan 11 points12 points ago

Hot European women in underwear

[–]EightiesGamer 2 points3 points ago

I somehow doubt this would actually result in a single additional person joining a donor registry than would otherwise, and less than a traditional ad could.

It's clever, but its also puerile and pandering to a limited slice of the heterosexual male audience.

[–]Rapetacle 1 point2 points ago

And we all know that heterosexual males are a slim minority.

Oh wait...

And what would your "traditional ad" look like? For that matter, what the heck is that supposed to be? "Donate organs so that fat guy with too much cholesterol can continue to eat more fatty fast-food"?

[–]EightiesGamer 1 point2 points ago

A traditional ad would highlight to a wider audience the need for donors and how simple it is to sign up for the registry, rather than reminding you that an attractive model is attractive, and that you probably want to have sex with her.

[–]serfis 0 points1 point ago

Not every ad goes for a "wider audience," nor does it need to.

[–]gottaloveJesus 0 points1 point ago

Well there are more females than heterosexual males. And this ad treats them as objects.

[–]Rapetacle 0 points1 point ago

How does this ad treats them as "objects"? Last time I checked, objects don't have organ transplants.

If you say "oh sex is suggested" well yeah...derp. I would have to lie if I would say I don't want to fuck her. That doesn't mean I treat her as an "object". I think the same when I see some hot woman in a movie or for in an underwar advertisement. Still I don't treat her like an "object".

If I pick up a girl, I don't do it because I think she got great things to share with me, but first because I'm sexualy attracted to her. Afterall, that's all I know when I see her. Background, personality, all that is after the initial first step.

A poster or ad or movie hardly let's me have a convesation with the person it it. Thus looks is the only impression that a poster can convey (unless there's a genuine philosophical or political quote next to it).

And by the way: Yeah there might be slightly more females than males (in the western world), but the amount of people that fall into that category is still damn high.

Ah...I said there are more FEMALES than HETEROSEXUAL MALES. Not all males are heterosexual, and nor are all females. So there are more than 'slightly' more. There are a lot more total women in the world than there are heterosexual men.

And yeah, the fact that you see her as something you would like to use for your sexual satisfaction before you see her as a human being with feelings and goals is the very definition of sexual objectification. My SO, for one, saw me as an interesting human being first. He found me sexy, but that is secondary to my worth as a person.

It looks like it's from the same ad agency as this one: http://s955.photobucket.com/albums/ae33/ericn1300/?action=view&current=UsedBMW.jpg

Don't they mean becoming a surgeon is the only way to get inside her?

This is funny, right now i am sitting here browsing reddit with a 24 hour Blood Pressure monitor because in the next few weeks i will be donating my kidney anonymously. My chance has come!

TV is better* too. Topless women shown all the time on normal broadcast TV (at least in Germany)

*at least in terms of toplessness, not necessarily quality of programming

She has a better chance of getting my dick inside her than one of my lungs.

[–]pearcewg 0 points1 point ago

yeah, but with hips like hers, she can only bear 7 or 8 children

It's funny because it's true. Actually, it's sad because it's true. And now I feel said. Thank you, op, for remembering me that the only way I could be with a hot girl is by dying first.

This is an ad by the same Belgian company that did the 'Push button to add drama' commercial.

When I was in France they had a hot girl having stripping for no reason to advertise insurance

Except she's a he and therefore the one that gets inside of you BOOM Shyamalan twist. Except for then you're already dead so you don't know.

Given that I don't want to enter said transvestite, I'll be keeping my organ, thx.*

  • Just for the record, I am already an organ donor.

Pft, If she don't want my penis, she sure ain't getting my organs!

Inciting discontent between European and American redditers with a repost. Wow....downvote for you, sir!

To all my friends in the Us, I hope you realise we ALL get one of her with our free health care.

"HEY, FUGGO. GIVE US YOUR ORGANS."

Probably not the most effective.

[–]FuriousFapmaster 0 points1 point ago

America makes sexy ads: boo American corporate media objectifying women and creating unrealistic body image standards.

America doesn't make sexy ads: boo European ads are so much better.

America just can't do anything right.

[–]larevaluciondele 0 points1 point ago

sigh yet another repost today

[–]FailosoRaptor 1 point2 points ago

Stop complaining about reposts. People will upvote what they haven't seen. Eventually it will get stale and old if enough people saw it and will no longer upvoted. There are a lot of users out there. All you have to do is downvote, eventually it will go away

That's because North America is full of prudes...

Europe is too, but no one listen to them.

[–]Depressed_Economist 0 points1 point ago

Two things: 1) it doesn't make me want to donate my organs more, and 2) is it true paramedics work less hard to resuscitate if they know you're an organ donor?

[–]Saerain 0 points1 point ago

No.

[–]bubblybooble 0 points1 point ago

Actually, the ad is false. In most European countries, prostitution is legal, so you can get inside a woman like that for a reasonable free.

"Hey ugly people: you're pretty useless to us, why don't you give us rich and pretty people your organs."

So much better. e.e
