Is this the worst ad in Finnish history?
August 26, 2009
This piece of work appeared at my father-in-law’s restaurant, inside a cardboard tube with some extra-cheap beads as a gift.
In order to entice people to use their firm’s advertising services, it basically says: ad men will take the shirt from your back, and the time of the dinosaurs is over.
How very, very true.
Throw in some sexist photography and some rather racist references to “medicine men being from Africa” and ad men “being greedier than Ahmed Ahne”, and you have yourself a mighty fine advertisement for the firm, and for the Finnish advertising industry!
ps the colours were truly spectacular too, but unfortunately i’ve only got a black and white scanner…
