Cool Marketing Thoughts

This ad is rather unfortunate. See, I love ninjas and their weapons. I really admire the art of slicing someone’s guts out with a sword so sharp that if it’s planted upside down in a river bed, it splits a leaf that floats against it (you’ll remember the scene from the movies). I know ninjas are fast as the wind and they can slice you into small sushi bits before you can blink with your eyes. But here’s the catch. For this PlayStation2 game, Cawley Nea/TBWA came up with the concept of the guy that brushes his teeth. So okay, he’s brushing his teeth and his head is whacked off so fast his body doesn’t seem to know it yet. The reflection in the mirror hasn’t gotten it either and still thinks there is something to reflect. So far so good. Now look in the sink. The way the head is positioned, with the white stuff in his mouth… does that look gay or what? I know it’s the toothpaste, but it seems like he just gave a blowjob. Don’t get me wrong here, it might be my twisted mind, but seriously… look at it. It’s so clean. No blood, no guts, no ninja. Just a guy standing in front of a head that’s placed with the mouth facing the zipper, and some white juice dripping from the mouth. Ew. Rather unfortunate indeed. What game was it they were advertising? I can’t remember.
