Kotex Beaver Ad

From News.com.au Viewers damn Kotex beaver ad

A TAMPON company may be forced to cancel TV ads that show an attractive, young woman going about her day with a beaver in tow.

The Kotex advertisement, rated M and broadcast only after 8.30pm, features a woman and her pet beaver eating lunch, having their nails done, at the hairdresser, and being gawked at by men on a beach.



Looks like they cast the gopher from Caddy Shack and changed it's tail.. Also reminds me of that classic line from The Naked Gun 'Nice Beaver' 'Thanks, I just had it stuffed'




Not nearly as funny as the Howard Stern Beaver/Beaver salon that appeared here a while ago.

It is a really bad attempt to connect with young women. It is a really poor rip-off of Canadian Pilsener tv ad. But at least a beer ad in Canada has a raison d'etre.
Firstly men who drink beer refer to "Beaver hunting" and secondly, at least in Canada they have Beavers.
