Hitler Sells Shampoo in Turkish TV Commercial Spot pitches 'a real man's shampoo'
In the most bizarre ad fail of the year so far, Adolf Hitler takes a break from selling condoms to pitch shampoo in this TV spot, which is airing on television in Turkey. The voiceover translates to: "If you're not wearing women's clothes, you shouldn't be using women's shampoo either. Here it is. A real man's shampoo. Biomen. Real men use Biomen." How does a single person think this is OK, never mind a whole group of agency and client people? Adland has more about the outcry.
