Remember the big ad? The small ad is just as, if not more, funny.

Unattractive, middle-aged and balding. That is the kind of hunk that should be appearing in ads, according to a report in the Australian today.The Advertising Standards Authority in Britain has found itself advising the owners of a cheap, popular sparking white wine Lambrini what images should be in its ads. For the uninitiated, this is what the punters think of the drink:
“Lambrini is a white wine and has a volume of 7.5%. Being the lightweight that I am, a couple of bottles of these gets me off on one! Lambrini is brilliant for getting drunk. Stuff the neat spirits that deep down are disgusting, have a pleasurable cheap bottle of plonk! Enjoy many glasses without throwing your dosh down the drain constantly!”

Sometimes, just sometimes advertising can be better than the product, which in this case is Carlton Draught by ad agency George Patterson. Check out Big Ad, a homage to the much parodied and brilliant British Airway’s Face ad from the late 1980s created by Saatchi & Saatchi in London. I’ll watch the ad, enjoy the ad, even laugh and tell my friends about it. Just maybe, if nothing else is on tap, I may buy the beer too.
