You Only Have One Semi-Aquatic Rodent
Well 50% of the population has one at any rate.
This is an Australian ad for a ‘feminine hygiene product’ that at least addresses what it is used for; Swapping euphemisms for slang, yay!
I think it’s more clever than the current batch of horribly conceived advertisements for ‘feminine’ products, but then I’m a bloke. I don’t even have a beaver.
Edit: Since I have an example of a clever approach to selling the product, here’s an example of an awful approach. It played in Spain every single time I saw a television on. I had the damn song stuck in my head by the end of my trip.

Well, at least it’s a different approach than the advertising branch usually serves us for these products. I know I should not be saying this, but I think the beaver is cute..

The “Evax” one! actually I live in Spain and this damn song is still playing! I really think this ad is awful, maybe that’s because of the song… or maybe for the product, but the thing is that I don’t like it!! Do you think the same?
