I have an unnatural urge to buy perfume.

If a V-Strom had a fragrance, it would be "Old Spice" or maybe "Aqua Velva" ... sorry fellas.

V-Strom Lifestyle...

For those of you who can't see it, the above-linked video is a Chanel perfume advertisement. Keira Knightley wakes up somewhere in Italy to the sound of soft jazz, gets dressed, then hops on a vintage Ducati 750, wearing leathers, boots, gloves and a helmet that all match the Ducati, along with a spritz of her favorite Chanel fragrance. She then zooms across town for an afternoon tryst with an unseen lover. She then suits back up and takes off for parts unknown.

I can't see anything in the ad that would get it banned anywhere other than Iran. It is very tame by today's standards. I don't know, maybe Canada has a TV ban on depicting women operating motorcycles in public. But raunchy? No way.

But I agree with you guys. If she rode a V-Strom she'd probably wear a perfume that smelled like gun smoke and leather.

too bad they didn't use a model that actually had a woman's body. sorry fellas, she has no ass, no hips, no chest. kinda boyish. face isn't too bad though...

and from a marketing perspective, not sure how that works. guys like it, i get that. is it supposed to make them go buy coco for their women so that the women might jump outta bed and get on a vintage bike, ride across the piazza to have a tryst with some other dude?

Yeah, where's the raunch?? Sheesh! I saw nothing objectionable in that ad. If you want a "raunchy" commercial, just take a look at the Carl's Jr., ad for the turkey burger. Shows a young woman on the beach almost wearing her bikini and holding a turkey burger. She undoes her top, but the sandwich cleverly conceals what we all know is there. This this dork comes up and says, "Nice sandwich." That one is raunchy.

So......does this mean that Canadians cannot download porn?......

I mean, what's the point of even having the internet otherwise?

I was never entirely clear on what the ad was trying to sell, but I have a sudden urge to go out and buy a vintage Ducati, a jumpsuit, a trip to Italy, and some perfume.

Sound effects...

While I do agree the T Mobile girl is quite attractive, the funny part about the T Mobile ad is the sound effects. Her bike goes from an inline four to a 90 degree vee twin to an American 45 degree vee twin in just a matter of fractions of a second. Listen to it again. She must be riding the same bike Tom Cruise rode in Mission Implausible, the one that can change from street tires to knobbies while in mid-air.
