flirt, squirt and sex sells?

if they would target girls, they would show a man giving head to a woman-for sure!
why should a girl be inspired to buy puma by such a pic?? she won't get an orgasm by performing a blowjob. or do some stupid menstill believe this porn myth that girls are getting sexual fulfillment by cock sucking???
this all is really boring! always the same dumb male fantasies. men should be creative in finding out what makes girls really happy. if this fake ad would be showing a cunnilingus scene it would be really avant-garde and would deserve this hype.

to add to the effect -- my bulgarian friend tells me the line at the top of the first ad says "he said he was counting the stars." (the bottom line is apparently Flirt Vodka's standard advertising tagline, "keep your memories"). what's more, she assures me that it's completely plausible that this is a real ad of theirs; apparently ad stunts of this nature are not at all uncommon in bulgaria these days.

uh-huuuuh.

Some real creative bad boys over there. World domination can' t be too far off!

why are so many logos on the Puma ads blurred out? that's what made it look fake to me.

that's it. i'm moving to bulgaria.

i agree..sex is good and it does sell..i love it!!!

I'm still hoping they follow through and actually sue you though - if only because I really want to see you slide up to court in a miniskirt, fishnet kneehighs and puma shoes.

*pines*

hustler got sued by campari for one of these fake ads and larry flynt took it to the supreme court & won.

Yes, this ad did run in Bulgaria last year throughout summer on citylights and as magazine adverting. I live hear and saw them. They have about 3 other similar executions as part of the same campaign.

yo...these ads from Puma...
GOT STOPPING POWER...i mean it...really...

Actually, the top ad for flirt vodka is from the country of Bulgaria. This ad was actually all over at the time, and in poster stands on the main street in the capital of Sofia. This is EXTREMELY common here, and other companies do it too. (there is a great one that is a kitchen with finger lines left in some whipped cream....:)
By the way, the caption says "he said, he was just counting the stars" As an american living here, its WAY different from what i was used to in the states, but is cool from a free speech and advertising standpoint.

If this is exemplary of the latest generation of talent emerging from portfolio school, my career is secure.

I suspect they're targeting the boyfriend Victoria's Secret style ... Girls like handbags and shoes... handbags and shoes = happy girlfriend... happy girlfriend = very happy boyfriend.

"hey fellas, give your girlfriend the gift that keeps on giving - right back to you!"

It's the unfortunate byproduct of hanging out with too many men... I used to think I was a traitor to my gender then I squirmed uncomfortably when my partner demanded loudly that we include a Queen of the Jungle-looking babe on some table tents and POP.

I fervently pray he never sees this Puma stuff.

damnit!

... anyone else belive it was gyro worldwide (us agency) who did this puma campaign?

*laughing*

Speaking of porn, good old-fashioned "beer porn" comes to spirits! No, no sane person would put this in their book (at least since the big crackdown on ghost ads and the recent return to somewhat good taste - remember the one featuring that guy from Sugar Ray with the girl straddling him in the bathroom?)...

Perhaps this is the handiwork / attention-seeking stunt of a recent portfolio school grad... especially if they've been told to cut down on the condom ads.

a "balls out" stunt, heehee.

i hang my head in shame for knowing this, but the porn magazine Hustler used to run ad parodies very similar to both of these using real brands, not knock offs. i never understood why companies they parodied didn't get in a serious huff and stop the practice.

so... has anyone actually seen these ads in print? that they're supposedly displayed in Brazilian Maxim issues sounds suspiciously difficult to confirm. and the semen on the woman's leg seems extra fishy. "hoax?" is what i'm asking here.

PUMA AG Statement regarding unauthorized "bad taste advertisement":

It has been brought to our attention that several unauthorized, sexually suggestive advertisements portraying the PUMA brand have been released over the Internet. We are appalled that images like these would be created and distributed under the PUMA name. As a brand, we seek to take a unique perspective toward our advertising in an effort to challenge the boundaries of our industry; however we would never consider using these tactics. We are in the process of researching the circumstances and reserve any legal steps available.

I dont care, I'm going to buy some Pumas right now.

where did this statement appear?
other than here.
