[Archae]

I love this French TV ad!

1. Awww sick, fucking furries!

[Archae]

3. Would you rather be seeing republicans?

:P

[supernova]

2. Strangely, not thinking about orange juice

after seeing that.

[lost-in-nj]

4. That was quite disturbing.....

:silly: :silly:

the visuals will for ever be engraved in my mind...




lost

[Rabrrrrrr]

5. And 90% of uptight America, sadly many liberals included, would go apoplectic

if that aired in this country. "OOoh, but our bodies are dirty and disgusting and gross and evil and we can't show 'em because THINKOF THE CHILDREN!!!!!! MY GOD!!!! THE CHILDREN!!!!!!!!!!!!"

That's fucking brilliant work, and hilarious!!

I loved the Orangina bottles exploding toward the end, and the one woman taking it to her chest. :rofl:

Pure pornographic excess.

:thumbsup:

11. We were "founded" by people too uptight for England

You'd think we would have gotten over it by now.........

[meegbear]

6. Oh my!

:yoiks:

[spinbaby]

7. It reminds me of this Japanese commercial

Also with kinky animals.

16. Wow...

I have no idea what to make of that. :o

[spinbaby]

17. It does make you wonder

What goes on in that apartment building they're advertising?

[XemaSab]

19. Sexual contact between children and raccoons:

The love that dare not speak its name. :P

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

21. Japanese raccoons have magical testicles.

"Tanuki" they're called. The raccoons, not the balls.

Apparently it's some Japanese old wives tale or fairy tale or something about those critters. I guess it loses something in translation.

[TimeChaser]

22. They're not raccoons at all, actually.

Tanuki are a totally different species. Canids, in fact. And yes, the actual animals do have rather large testicles.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

23. Meh, same difference.

Theys fancy foreign raccoons what thought too much of themselves.

[XemaSab]

25. The tanuki article was interesting....

The large testicles are a symbol of prosperity. :)

[TimeChaser]

26. Personally, I'm more of a fan of Kitsune legends

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsune

What is it about tricksy canines in mythology? Here in North America, we've got Coyote, and over in Japan they've got the Kitsune.

[XemaSab]

27. Speaking of foxes, I saw three endangered island kit foxes the other day!

They looked like big gray squirrels. :)

[XemaSab]

24. They're not raccoons like ours in North America, they're raccoon dogs, related to dogs

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanuki

[spinbaby]

28. Okay, that explains the big balls

But what's the explanation for the animal boobies and Little Red Riding Hood?

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

35. That one alludes me.

I'm guessing it's a play at "Why, Grandma, what big 'fill in the blank' you have!"

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

18. Oh those Japanese and they're crazy well-hung raccoons.

This was a big hit with Japanese school kids. Imagine Disney releasing it.

[XemaSab]

20. That is some truly odd stuff

n/t

[quip]

8. WHAT THE

F*CK? That truly was one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. Honestly, how does one ever even come CLOSE to a concept like that, let alone spend millions of $$$ on it. Amazing.

Good luck with that future thing, France!

[Archae]

10. People are going to remember ths ad...

And thus, they'll buy the bottled orange juice.

"Mission Accomplished." ;-)

[EOTE]

12. Orangina is more than just bottled orange juice.

It's more like bottled bliss. This is coming from someone who loves oranges and fresh squeezed orange juice, but can't stand the bulk of store bought orange juice. Real orange juice mixed with carbonated water and just the right amount of sugar. I tried making my own once and it turned out pretty good. I think I'm going to give it another try. As for the overt sexualization of forest creatures? I'll never look at Bambi the same way again.

[Sequoia]

15. I'm moving to France.

[mainegreen]

9. Wonderful!

[ThomCat]

13. Wow. That is so hypersexual,

the sexual sybolism reached the point of being absurd. They took something creative and made it tacky.
:wow:

I can't imagine that every being shown on broadcast tv in the US.

[quip]

14. Yes. It is absurd

Further, I think it's absurd to believe that sexual absurdity sells orange juice. At least, for the sake of humanity, I hope it doesn't. :scared:

[JVS]

30. Orangina isn't even OJ. It's like some shitty carbonated Sunny D

[quip]

31. It's wrong on so many levels. Damn

the French and their gaulish ways. :mad:

[JVS]

32. They sap the purity of our bodily fluids by putting the sexual fluids of woodland critters in the OJ

[quip]

34. Ewww. Add yet ANOTHER level of wrongness

x(

33. Dupe

[Fire Walk With Me]

29. At least they avoided the cliche of the male as wolf.
