Carlsberg for some time now have been promoting this tag line “Probably the best Beer in the world” and swapping the world “Beer” for something else, in this case the word “Ad” and I can’t help but agree.
This is a print advert brought to life, a bottle opener from a magazine. Original and clever.

This image was intended for magazines to advertise as you may have guessed oh lola by Marc Jacobs. It will not be featured in magazines or anywhere but the internet in the UK this is because the Advertising Standard Authority (ASA) have upheld a complaint banning it from publication.
The ad feature Dakota Fanning child actress from the States. People complained that the image sexualised the young model and has been seen as irresponsible and offensive. However, the makers of the ad Coty UK didn’t receive any complaints themselves and said “They did not believe the ad was inappropriately sexualised because it did not show any private body parts or sexual activity”.
This being said the banning of the ad in the UK has create an online buzz, to which many bloggers like myself, media agencies, news networks and social media outlets are all talking about it.
I expect this particular fragrance will be a Christmas hit
