Feelin' confused
"Love for women".Feelin' confused
If you saw this sentence and thought it was an advertisement, what product do you think it would be advertising? Go on, guess.
Did you think that it would be for beauty products like make-up or skin creme? I know Dove has that campaign for real beauty, so that would be a logical choice. Unfortunately, it's a wrong one.
Did you think that it would be for some sort of self-help book catering towards the female side, that is also an excellent guess. In fact, I think that title would sell. But, alas, that's not what this advertisement is for.
Did you guess pizza? Why would you, because that's absolutely rediculous? It's not like pizza can be made especially for women. I mean, pizza is pizza. But you'd be wrong. This is actually the slogan of a pizza restaurant which is inaptly named Mr. Pizza.
I think Mr. Pizza has many restraining orders against him
If you're still hungry after eating your specially-made woman's pizza, you can go to the chicken restaurant that is "a women's choice". Sure, I know that when you look at and eat the pizza and chicken it doesn't seem any different than any others that you have tried. But, remember, it's made for you, the women who likes perfectly acceptable tasting pizza and chicken.
If you're a man, or if you haven't felt the love, yet, there are many other things that you can buy to fill that void. For instance, there's this soy milk that not only will give you love, but it also has an extra dose of nature, health, happiness, trust, and (for a limited time only) love. You know, because sometimes, love just isn't enough.
You forgot the words super and awesome
Ok, maybe you don't need love, maybe you just want to be happy. Just for a little while. Well, all you have to do is drink some banana flavored milk and you're on your way. It's easy, try it:
How's that for you? Are you happy now? No? Ok, fine. You know what would be real awesome? Swiping a credit card! Wait, there's more...you would get to swipe a credit card into a radish. Not good enough for you, you say? Ok, how about swiping a credit card in a radish's ass? Ya, I knew you would like that.
Which way do you put the magnetic stripe?
Comments on "Happiness is One Purchase Away"
I have yet to understand Korea's obsession with putting things in other people's butt cracks.
Sigh.... We only have pizza made for men here. Women are supposed to eat salads and yogurt apparently.
holy crap. that ba-nah-nah-nah-nah is uhhhhh-mazing!
I love the Korean butt obsession. No where else is repeatedly putting your fingers up your male friends butt not an act of Homosexuality. In KO KO KOrea it means you are best buddies. Dongjeep anyone?
Ya, I feel like I'm in the Asian version of Borat every day.
This is hilarious. I don't know how I never noticed Mr. Pizza's slogan before! And I sort of wish I hadn't seen the radish ass swipe. Yeesh.
Yup, Mr. Pizza loves his women, probably a little too much.
A Mr. Pizza opened recently across the street from my school. I was floored when I saw their slogan on everything.
Ya, I was too when I initially saw it. Now I think it's just par for the course of Korea.
We'll never look at pizza in the same way again. Hope all is well!
I drink a protein product called "Muscle Milk" which also comes in banana flavor so I can appreciate the happy humor of the video!
I appears that there is an acute lack of censorship in Korean advertising....the card swipe would never make it in the US without rightous indignation from many segments of society.
OMG every time I see that radish man it FREAKS ME THE F*CK OUT!!!!!!!!!!! Have you seen the radish commercials for that credit card...it's just as freaky.
