Man-Boobs and Marionettes: Just Another Insane Candy Ad
(Video possibly NSFW.) Here's an example of candy oddvertising at its most weird and randomly disturbing—a Italian spot by Milan agency Selection SRL for Vivident gum featuring a couple of family secrets best left undiscovered. "If you like unexpected turns, you should try Vivident Blast," says the spokesman, who then gets squashed by a whale. If you "like" the moment when the father whips out his man-boobs, you might consider asking for something not available over the counter. Via Shots.
