“The farm – Struggle for existence.”

Farmen (The farm) is a famous TV-show in Norway where the participants are “sent”
100 years back in time. There they have to live like they once did in 1910. To promote

The only universal truth which nobody can challenge is the unconditional and selfless
love of moms. P&G (Procter & Gamble) has released a new commercial dedicating to all
moms for everything they do. The commercial titled “You’ll Never Walk Alone” features
the music of Shirley Bassey and simply says; Thank You, Mom for all the wonderful
things you do. It’s good for any brand to be associated with such emotional and feel
good type campaign which definitely gives a lift to the brand’s image.

The advert features Paris Hilton in a short black dress dancing around with Devassa
Beer to the delight of onlookers watching through her window. This ad apparently
devalues women - in particular, blonde women and too hot to handle according to
Brazil’s Secretariat for Women’s Affairs.

It’s a debate whether banning something serves the purpose or in fact is counter
productive as it get’s more publicity. But, to me it’s a nothing ad with no substance.
Just by having some beautiful women in an ad without any connection with product
doesn’t make it any better. If you want to ban then ban the very idea of sex sells
however you present for whatever you want.
