Badvertising – Dynamo Washing Powder
Unless you’re Michael Jackson, Gary Glitter or Jonathan King the beginning of the advert for Dynamo Washing Powder won’t do much for you.
Last time we remembered, watching children taking their clothes off is just a little bit wrong.
But who are we to judge when we smother dog food across our genitals for some easy loving? Maybe there is a market for paedophile washing up powder. It’ll get those greasy stains right off. Even the white ones.
Because this is a South African advert, you’d assume that a South African person would do the voice over. Right? Apparently not in this case, as it seems the narrator is someone doing a crap impression of a German. The way he says “penetrate” is also quite worrying, perhaps he is a washed-up porn star.
Just to top the wrongness of this campaign off, the creators of this advert think a child wiggling their arse will make you buy it. We’d ask Michael if it did the trick for him, but you know, it’s a bit complicated.
You’re joking, right? If not, you’re pathetic. This is a perfectly normal advertisement.
I hate to break it to you but this isn’t advertising washing powder; it’s a popular AIDS medication called “children”.
“you’d assume that a South African person would do the voice over. Right? Apparently not in this case, as it seems the narrator is someone doing a crap impression of a German.”
Christ, why don’t you find out what your talking about.
There are eleven official languages in South Africa – Afrikaans, English, Zulu, Xhosa,Ndebele, Venda, Swati, Sesotho, Sepedi, Tsonga and Tswana.
The narrator is an african man, speaking English (which is not his native tongue). Hence the accent.
There is nothing wrong with the advert. Stop projecting. Stop trying to be funny.
