This Is An Ad For Something [VIDEO]

Ad Age recaps:



Think about “The Best a Man Can Get” and you don’t envision a guy hugging the porcelain goddess. But while ads featuring Olympic athletes usually show the glory, Gillette’s anthem video for the Summer Olympics breaking today instead focuses on the gritty, including what appears to be the first razor advertising that shows a guy throwing up.

That’s part of the hard work Chinese swimmer Ning Zetao puts into practice. And the online video breaking today from WPP’s Grey in similar fashion shows British cyclist Andy Tennant in a spectacular crash and USA decathlete Ashton Eaton chased by a very mean-looking dog on a run.
