Mumble Report post Posted August 18, 2011 Okay, I've watched it several times and I don't get it and it's annoying me. Can someone please explain the recent ad for a popular high street opticians where a koala drops out of a tree, steals a woman's newspaper and sits down to read it. Why? How does that advertise contacts? Besides, koalas would never fight someone for a newspaper - they'd decide it's far too much like hard work and have a snooze until the human had finished with the paper.

darkshine Report post Posted August 19, 2011 I haven't seen it but from what you've described it doesn't make any sense to me either. The best I ever saw was on the front of a free paper - it was a photo of a truck that had crashed through a "popular high-street optician" with the headline - "should have gone to...." (and since that was the store it seemed really funny - I would have hated to be that truck driver though - I bet that took some living down!!!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mumble Report post Posted August 19, 2011 Must be me but I love that ad at the moment Can you explain it then please, 'cause I don't get it at all. I can't see how it advertises contact lenses - is it the woman or the koala that's supposed to need them? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
darkshine Report post Posted August 19, 2011 (edited) Ok, I've found it online and watched it - I believe that they are supposedly short-sighted and lacking ears to pin glasses on means they'd have to have contacts - maybe they should have used an over-sized bat instead Although this doesn't explain how it read the paper in the first place....
