Hey it’s called MENstruation, right? Previously, in an all-male creative team created ad for Panadol via Singapore, the funny ha-ha visual featured the product being delivered to a holed-up raging PMS-ing woman via police robot. This time, the pre-menstrual lady has mutated into an apparent Mexican wrestler. Oh boy.
The all vagina-less team that concocted this ad is from Prolam Y&R in Santiago, Chile. The product is Kitadol PerÃodo Menstrual—”get her back.” Leaving aside how completely insulting the ad is to women, the overriding question is: why a Mexican wrestler? Why a male Mexican wrestler? Why not, like, Medusa or Bride of Frankenstein or Hecate, the three-headed goddess? And, yeah, stick a pair of fluffy slippers in the shot SO THAT WE GET IT. |Image via: Coloribus|
Why a Mexican Wrestler? Because despite being scary, Medusa, the Bride of Frankenstein and Hectate are still alluring and perhaps a little sexy even. There is nothing less appealing than sleeping next to A Mexican wrestler. Not fun….nope…not at all.
You're not even going to show us the commercial?
Any man that thinks PMS is funny is so fuckin dead if they cross my path today. I've got lightning rods shooting out of my eyes and smoke coming out of my nose at this very moment (it's a day or two before I expect my period to come). Just try to crack any jokes, or even make a single smirky smile, and you are doomed.
Well, dan, the Mexican wrestler may strike a chord with you, but the product is, remember, taken by women. Maybe this ad with its "get her back" headline is advocating that men force-feed their crazy PMS bitches the pills?
How is this going to work, exactly, unless the guy is secretly crumbling this stuff into his partner's food?
I'm ashamed to say I wore that outfit to bed last night. Didn't know I was supposed to save it for that special time of the month. Fail.
not too mention how gross MEXICAN wrestlers are. because nice white american wrestlers might be tolerable.
What's wrong with being a Mexican wrestler? I happen to think they're awesome. They're funny and campy like American wrestlers, wear cool masks, and they even have one called SuperBarrio Man who fights evil capitalists. Man, if PMS turned me into one of those guys I'd be PSYCHED.
Unfortunately, I think the process is a bit more involved than that–at least if you believe Jack Black ;-)
I thought it was funny. I feel like a Mexican wrestler right now… not ready to take off the mask.
