Weird adventures in advertising.
It’s funny how advertising works. Sometimes there are odd couplings that should have stomped out in the boardroom before making it to our television sets.
Let’s take for example Shaq, who now is peddling vitamin water. In a commercial, Shaq beats a bunch of jockeys, 1/5 his size in a race on top of a surely deceased (by now) horse. It’s brilliant, the commercial extolling the vitamin water’s healthy and weight conscious attributes. What’s funny here is seeing how long the 300 lb. NBA center will be pictured in a jockey suit.
