Greetings everyone!
Advertising is indeed a cutthroat industry. It’s not surprising that ad companies will go to great lengths, even defiling well know family cartoon characters in a bit to sell stuff.
It is however rather odd when an extremely popular character is used in an illicit way and then very little is done about it. An advertising agency in Australia called The Foundry has shocked the general Ozzie public (and the internet community by extension), by using Snow White and the Seven Dwarves in a rather dirty little ad, in a bit to sell booze. What is this world coming to hey?
First off I have to commend The Foundry on a nicely designed ad….even if it has been done in bad taste, it still delivers exactly what they were aiming for and the artwork is super cool. Basically the Snow White ad campaign shows the famous heroine and the Seven Dwarves all packed into a bed while she takes a drag of an obvious “after sex cigarette”. Eish, no that is rather sketchy if you ask me. I’d love to see parents trying to explain this advert to little Shane and Sheila. The catch phrase for the Snow White ad is “anything but sweet”, the product, Jamieson’s Raspberry Ale.
The Snow White ad is smokin!
