It's unianimous. The commercial IS disturbing.\n\nBut, it certainly got our attention!\n\n-- 1 point for them.\n\nHowever, now we're all too disgusted to buy any more Skittles.\n\n-- 5 points against them.\n\nSo, they're the ones who should be the most disgusted because they wasted so much of their advertising budget on such a horribly repulsive commercial.

I haven't seen the frilly panty ones but I agree that the creepy king is just weird. They even called him I think "freaky king guy" in the superbowl commercial. They're just going for shock value, trying to appeal to a new generation and get them loyal to the BK name. Did you notice how fast the "coq rock" band went away? (the guys for the chicken fries-coq is french for chicken) apparently the whole band name and marketing scheme was computer generated and they didn't realize how suggestive it was. Well, that's what they claim. Nobody puts anything into advertising accidentally, that's the first rule of marketing.

I've never even seen that commercial, so I can't give you the name of the song...  However, Coke sometimes puts commercials up on their website, so you might want to check that out and see if they say anything about it.  There might be a contact address or something on the site and you could email somebody and ask, too.  Sorry I can't help better.

The commercial was for Pampers and can be viewed at the link below.  This was one of my favorite holiday commercials this year.  I'm not sure of the singer though.

The ad was a black and white (of course) ad of a little blond haired girl--average American kiddo.  She is picking the petals off of a daisy, one by one.  And just before she picks the last petal, you see a mushroom cloud.  \n\nThe ad is leading people to believe that he was not only wreckless with the a-bomb, but also that he was a "baby-killer" so to speak.  The little girl in the ad could have belonged to any American family at that time in history, and for a voter to see "their child" blown away (even though it doesn't show this of course, it is just implied) this was a major shock factor for the parents of America.  \n\nIt was a very effective and memorable ad, as it is still discussed in poli sci classrooms throughout the nation.

Skittles are small round fruit chews that come in a hard candy shell with a letter "s" on it, originally from the United States. Sold either in packets or in a cup-shaped containers ranging in size from 7.3oz to 48oz, Skittles come in several varieties, including original fruit, tropical, wild berry, smoothie mix, and sour, each with five different colors and flavors.

Skittles are also well-known for their advertising campaigns. Often associated with rainbows (due to their colors), Skittles slogans include "Taste the rainbow", and there have been several television commercials, often considered some of the best in the genre, centering on surreal scenes, presumably set in Ireland, with happy people joyously receiving a bounty of Skittles raining from a rainbow in the sky. Skittles are also commonly used by teachers to demonstrate probability (using the color distribution).\n\nSkittles sold in the UK are made in the Czech Republic, where Mars, Incorporated makes them for export to many EU markets.

I don't get it. \n\nDiet Pepsi,  McDonalds Salad, \n\nRaisins are a fruit so why would it become illegal to advertise them.  ????? \n\nSociety just keeps on getting stranger.

I saw that commercial the other day & now I think I was wrong in originally saying the song is done by Outkast. I couldn't find anything on it, but this seems like a good site for future reference (& maybe the forum).\nhttp://www.whatsthatcalled.com/index.html

What is this an advertisement?

These billboards are all over the US as of a few weeks ago.  Atlanta has been plagued with "I pooted" and "My boogers itch".  These phrases are from Fosters and Ed Edd and Eddy.  Other cities have seen "I have a meat beard" and "clowns hate tangelos".  These are from other cartoon network shows.  They possibly dis-included logos to get a better buzz, but children have a great recall quality that will enable them to remember lines like these from thier favorite television shows.  Since they are ads, the  purpose still is yet to be seen.  Have fun watching them pop up!
