unless that pair of panties or whatever they are were wet and froze to the icecube.. in another 15 seconds the next photo would have been sprawled bleeding from the head after it slipped off the corner of the melty cube.

Maybe she has suckers on her butt.

Who comes up with this stuff? This is supposed to make me want to drink soda?? Or is this cthuloid drinking soda after having eaten someone for dinner?

Orangina = High fructose corn syrup swill

Izze Sparkling Clementine = Fizzy orange juicy goodness

I agree. Calling it "sugar water" is a misnomer. Sugar water is much healthier.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

It's still sugar, not HFCS, in France where these ads are.

I fully approve. I can even see the letters "S-E-X" lightly shaded into the ice cubes.

To my astonishment, this is for real. My amazement was so great I underwent the torment of their flash-based website, and this is absolutely for real.

Looks like we just lost the war against the furries.

Dude, culture lost the war on fandom a long time ago. Even the evangelicals read slash.

Aw, the winamp skin is unavailable, but you can still get the "screen mate". (Ew.)

The bear and hyena ones are creepy as hell. I am in awe of the French.

My nipples explode with Orangina!

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

Is PZ Myers doing your blog this week?

(Reply) (Thread)

I'm disappointed; the breasts only have one nipple each.

(Reply) (Thread)

Are you sure that's a nipple and not a sucker?

"In Soviet Russia, breast sucks you!"

what comes to my mind is the ad campaign from frédéric beigbeder's book "99 francs" (i highly recommend reading it).

(Reply) (Thread)

I am ashamed that I recently bought Orangina for the first time in years. Now they are going to think this worked.

(Reply) (Thread)

I tried to shrink it to under 100x100 and 40K so that it will work as an LJ userpic, but I failed. Maybe someone else will succeed.

On the upside, being forced to watch that over and over again has at least shown that she's not lactating fizzy, yellow flavourings, but is instead squashing citrus fruit against her mammaries.

Her...mammaries. On a squid-thing. Which is not a mammal. Hmm.

This is less surprising when you consider the product is named after a portmanteau of Orange and vagina.

I like to think there's a reason for it other than furry fandom, but that's probably because I'm in denial that something so fucking perverted could ever be mainstream enough to be a national advertising campaign in a major European country.

My French friend says that anything with breasts will sell well in France. This does not explain the need for animals and plants!

If it was just the octopus, it could almost be understood, because the standard Orangina marketing is "regardez, il a la pulpe d'orange". The french word for octopus is poulpe. A witty splash of wordplay. But unless the word for "fizzy drink" is girafe, cactus, ours or lionne, I'm not buying it.

The commercial is like a night at the DNA Lounge.

I have a feeling you're generating more publicity for this product than the gimmick ever will.

(Reply) (Thread)

I also have a feeling that nobody he sees this "publicity" will want to purchase Orangina.
