What is it this Equal Ad?
Am I the only one who finds this Equal commercial absurd?
A woman asks a man for something for her tea. The man gives the woman Equal. Some synthasized music plays in the background. The woman asks what this is. The man says it’s the zen-effect of the Equal. The woman asks “Can I lie down?” The man says, in a sudden voice of seduction, “Be my guest.” The man says something, I don’t remember, but it begins with “If you’d like–“. The woman replies orgasmically, “ooo.”
I don’t get it. Did the man slip the woman a date-rape drug? Equal is a sweet sugar substitute. Why is this advertisement taking off from a bad porn script?
