Brokeback Mountain used in a car ad
« on: March 01, 2007, 05:18:26 pm »
I wanted to share this little piece, which brought a smile to my face. It's an ad for a car, the Touran, a so-called minivan. It's a part of a campaign from Vokswagen to advertise this van not to the usual buyers of vans (=families), but to new target groups.

The caption says: It's not necessary to have children to drive a Touran

Interesting adveertising campaign.
I hope Jack and Heath get "appearance" payments.
and if they get paid, I hope it isn't a "one-shot" thing.

I love that version of the picture, and the fact that Ennis is actually holding the 30-30.

Good on you VW.

Will future ads include shots from the hippy scene, including the VW van??
I'd love to see that.

Yeah, I like seeing these images used, they become more iconic each time they are used.

When you put people in charge of the government who are committed to proving that it doesn't work, you can be sure that they will cause it to not work.

Very well done. Now you should go on and buy a Touran, then ask VW if they're willing to pay you for their next ad ;).
