Strangest advertisement I have ever seen..

[sNyx]

Okay so I step downstairs to have a smoke this morning and parked in front of my building on Water is a large truck. This isn't any ordinary truck, it's clear windowed with a fake Mexico setup inside (chairs, trees, beach ball, ect) with a pretty girl in a bikini getting a massage by some dude in a towel. They look up and wave to passers by, while fake lighting gives the impression you could be someone better on a gloomy day like today in Vancouver. Simply wild..

I'll try to steal a digial camera and take a snap if it's still around later on.

was it for like a travel agency? that's pretty new age thinking, even for vancouver.

[Gusto]

interesting idea

Those are the same guys who were handing out bags at Waterfront yesterday. They had a bunch of people in straw hats and shorts handing out these bags and a loud ass Mexican trumpet player.... not what I want to deal with at 7am on a Monday morning....

The one that you saw sounds like a better ad campaign if you ask me!

That's wicked!! Um I hope you don't hate me for this but my company is the marketing firm that organized and ran that fiasco at waterfront station. I was there at 5:30am to set up, and I was one of the guys in orange handing shit out. Don't complain, there was a free chocolate bar in each bag we were handing out. Besides, I was there for thier sound check/ practicing at 6am. Not fun!

I did see that guy molestingbthe bikini chick on the way in this morning and I have no idea what its all about. I kinda wanna grab a case of coronas, break into the "tropical bus", throw the towel-pussy out and get my grope on with that bikini slut and get loaded. mmm drinking and molestation at 9am

First of all it was a different company, I like thier idea(bikini bitch) much better. Secondly it was Tuesday morning not Monday. Buy a calendar biatch!

Ya I wanted to kick the band members in the balls quite frequently but I wasn't alowed to abuse the band. :(

Now THAT is the true Mexico experience.

[~*tct*~]

hey that would be neat to see

[decypher]

Oh shit I saw this on the walk down from the cold beer the other night. Although the lights were turned off and no one was inside, i still wanted to climb in there and have a beer on the patio furniture.

[krisamata]

if u guys wanna see what it looked like grab a province and turn to page a12

[crookedking]

like i need an ad to make me go back to mexico.

i saw something similiar to that bikini/massage thang on ripley's believe it or not once. they put some hot chick in a zoo and people came and just stared at her. when she quit the zookeepers got some dude in there, but he just couldn't pull in the numbers.

[acidic_liquid]

Maybe they were inspired by that sum41 video.... pieces

I remember a few years ago my friend Ariel "worked" in her sisters boutique where she laid in a lounge chair (in a bikini) in the store window instead of a mannaquin (sp?)

It caught a lot of attention.
