Tap ads damaging the brand?
You have a guy about to use the toilet, who sees his taps 'looking at him' and who then bashfully moves outside to presumably rather take a dump in the garden.
In another ad, a girl is about to remove an unsightly strip of pubic hair from her stomach (never quite seen a spread like that, but anyway) and sees her tap - and yeah, rather chooses to wax in full view of her date...
I haven't seen the third ad, which apparently involves an estate agent showing a property who needs to get rid of unwanted gas. The mind boggles...
What was this company - who apparently produces a very high quality and stylish, expensive product - thinking when they employed an ad agency which applied this lavatorial sense of humour (which can surely only appeal to Beavis and Butthead afficionados, 11-year old boys and Bez Valley tappets) to sell their product?
(And please, before you say, "It made you look didn't it?", taking notice of a brand for all the wrong reasons has never been compelling persuasion to buy the product!)
