Compra esta actitud

Posted by Robin on 23 October 2009 17 Comments

This spot-on parody of a perfume ad is actually a public service announcement from Ayuntamiento de Madrid encouraging citizens to conserve energy.

    I like it! of course considering the shabby hovel she’s living in, I suppose conserving some energy is the least she could do. If they let me move in , I’d promise to conserve energy too!

      Hilarious! I also liked the “I’m getting real, here” shot of the woman at the very end of the ad.

        Yes!! A facial expression you NEVER see in a real perfume ad.

    LOL, loved it! The model is just like Naomi Watts in the Angel ad.

      Yes, she is!! It’s really apparent that they know exactly what a perfume commercial looks like, LOL…

      And thinking…boy, they spend more $ on “public service” type commercials overseas, don’t they? We don’t get anything like this here.

        Waaaay more money. We only spend that kind of dough on beer commercials.

    The house in the video is not exactly a model choice for energy conservation. Now, if they would just let me move in, they could refilm the PSA using my place. That’s a good idea to me! Giggles.
