Goodbye Bush, says Veet in cheeky ad

We love this ad we got sent, which comes from Veet, capitalising on Obama becoming president yesterday. Obviously there has been much cashing in from a variety of brands on the new presidency, but we think this jokey take is one of the best……nice to see a brand with a sense of humour in these tricky times.

    Nice to see clever use of topicality in the press – though in the era of twitter – what constitutes ‘topical’ becomes moot.

  10. meattofu Says:

    That must have required some kind of collaboration between the editor(s) and the advertiser.

    Worth it!

    Forget about cute ads and say what you really mean… “Good Bye and we will never forget you f*cking us George”

  29. alcidaho Says:

    WOW. That’s a good one . It’s funny to maybe things will start going back to the way things were in a fews more years. I know Obama will be a good president,because he already had meetings his first day in office,and even though he waz probly tired for being at ten partys and not leavning till after one in yhe morning.
