Questionable Advertising

I saw this ad on the back of a tractor trailer this weekend in NYC. I don't know about anybody else, but this advertisement for Michael Jordan's cologne says to me: "with this cologne, you too can smell like the back of Michael Jordan's head."

  1. could be just me, but i think they're shooting more for the iconic silhouette of MJ's bald head and earring

  2. I figure if they wanted to do that, they could have used an actual silhouette, not a photo of the back of his head. I can't get past that.

  3. that's very true, i'm not sure really was just a guess. maybe they thought it was clever to put the back of his head on the back of a truck; some kind of symbolism or hidden meaning that's not completely apparent.

  4. Yes, the shot of the back of the head is very...in your face and I too can't get past it.
