This new ad campaign from the La Familia agency in Chile for some kind of soda isn't very kind to beloved children's characters. Here we have a guy who's returned from an afternoon of delighting children as Barney, and is digging into his carton of smokes and collection of skin mags. See the full ad here. Another ad shows a Teletubbie taking a leak in a Trainspotting-like bathroom. Somehow this "0% fantasy" notion is meant to make the soda appealing.
