Kritik af hygiejnebind-reklamer – fra en mand? Richard Niel leverede et overraskende udfald, og et både elegant og morsomt ét af slagsen, for næsten 100.000 syntes godt om det på bind-producenten Bodyforms Facebook-side, og over 4.000 har kommenteret det.
Læg dertil alle de, der har delt indlægget (sic!) til deres venner, og du har et viralt hit, som tilmed er svært at give lige så elegant igen på.
Men først Richard Niels ord:
Hi , as a man I must ask why you have lied to us for all these years. As a child I watched your advertisements with interest as to how at this wonderful time of the month that the female gets to enjoy so many things, I felt a little jealous. I mean bike riding, rollercoasters, dancing, parachuting, why couldn’t I get to enjoy this time of joy and ‘blue water’ and wings !! Dam my penis!! Then I got a girlfriend, was so happy and couldn’t wait for this joyous adventurous time of the month to happen … you lied !! There was no joy , no extreme sports , no blue water spilling over wings and no rocking soundtrack oh no no no. Instead I had to fight against every male urge I had to resist screaming wooaaahhhhh bodddyyyyyyfooorrrmmm bodyformed for youuuuuuu as my lady changed from the loving , gentle, normal skin coloured lady to the little girl from the exorcist with added venom and extra 360 degree head spin. Thanks for setting me up for a fall bodyform , you crafty bugger
Morsomt og bidende – måske det mest bidende på Facebook i sidste uge, uden at vi har overvåget samtlige posts.
Og hvad gør Bodyform? Svarer igen på en måde, der matcher Richard Niels ord i elegance og popularitet i visninger: Mere end to millioner på YouTube på tre dage.
Svaret præsenteres således:
Hi Richard. We loved your post on our Facebook page. We are always grateful for input from our users, but your comment was particularly poignant. If Facebook had a “love” button, we’d have clicked it. But it doesn’t. So we’ve made you a video instead. Unfortunately Bodyform doesn’t have a CEO. But if it did she’d be called Caroline Williams. And she’d say this.
Do let us know if we can help you further…
Regards,
The Bodyform Team
Fart consultant: Mike Koenig
Selve videoen ser således ud:
Mens Richard Niel ventede på et svar fra Bodyform, mente han sig berettiget til at modtage royalites fra Bodyform for reklamen. Nu har Bodyform givet Richard Niel mindst lige så meget reklameomtale den anden vej.
