I'm not sure if this has been posted before..but,who cares?

Advert for Siemens dishwasher ......

Across Germany’s northern-most border with Denmark you'll find an incredible superstore called Fleggaard. There, you can buy everything you need - tubs of gummi bears, cases of wine, industrial strength dishwashing soap - at prices 30% cheaper than you'll find in Denmark . It is Denmark's Costco, packaged as a German loophole. This is their advertisement! The 100+ women do stunts in the air - while free-falling - holding hands to spell out "Half-off on Dishwasher at Fleggaard."

You'd be hard-pressed to find a man in Denmark who hasn't seen and fallen in love with this commercial. It was geared strictly to men. The ad is real! Here is a link to simply the best advertisement ever made.

Honestly. It's awesome.

That is brilliant - had to search elsewhere for it. I am not going to comment on the sexism or any of that other stuff. Nice advertising :eek:

Eh...maybe because other countries don't have such prudish attitudes and draconian laws regarding the sight of naked breasts on tv.

ya mean boards right?

A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer
