Ha Ha Hot or Duck Duck Goose?
by javabeans
Sometimes you look at a picture and you know it’s off, but there are just so many things to comment on that you can’t articulate any of them.
Yeah, this ad for Converse featuring its new brand models, Choi Kang-hee (My Sweet Seoul) and boy-bander Kim Hyun-joong (of SS501), is one of those instances.
Converse is selling… what, exactly? The ad says “down jumper” but the picture tells me “goose mothering skills.”
Tags: Choi Kang-hee, Kim Hyun-joong

everytime i see hyunjoong, i am reminded of how his nose doesn't look like that before. lol.
but funny advertisement, nonetheless. it's so wrong, yet amusing.

Oh gosh. I these advertisements would have been a lot more effective, IMO, if the geese they had didn't look so fake. Sheesh, Korea. Did you just walk into a toy store? Kang-Hee's egg doesn't look so bad, but the geese are awful :P
And besides! Those are not "jumpers." If you're going to use British English, use it properly. If you're going to stick with the American--call it a jacket. Jumper? Definitely a sweater, Korea.

i read somewhere else that those two were specifically chosen for this campaign because of their 4D personalities....so i am assuming the pictures ARE supposed to be weird and ridiculous....
are there more? hehehe.....i want to see more :D

maybe Converse will make leather jackets next, and nurture calves in their ads.

You are talking about Converse as in shoes, right?
If they were selling the shoes, they need to advertise it and actually show the shoes! Hyun Joong's pic didn't show the shoes and Kang Hee's was hidden under all the frills of her skirt!
What the?!
