Ladies, Schick Has The Solution For Maintaining Your Lawn

By
Home Stager with Sharon Tara Transformations

My sister sent me this internet commercial she found on YouTube for the new Schick Quattro For Women Trimstyle Razor & Bikini Trimmer.  Although many may find it inappropriate, I think it is very creative and original.  I find it quite funny with the whole "mowing the lawn" and "trimming the bushes" theme. 

You may have to watch it twice to pick up on every play on words, and some will go right over most heads...I personally thing "tulips" is brilliant.  The whole point of a "viral campaign" is to generate attention, and I think the creators of this one have succeeded.

Sharon, I thought this was VERY clever! I did notice the UK web site which explains the "out of the box" thinking ... no pun intended :-)

Angela:  It's real, just not on TV.  It is on the Internet only.  It is a viral campaign, which means they are relying on people to forward it around and have it spread that way.

Nannette:  You are welcome!  I had a good laugh too!

Lara:  Yes, it is from the UK.  "Out of the box" lol, very good!

Sharon, WHAT are we talking about here??!! So funny.....That commercial would NEVER make it past the censors in prudish America! LOL. Maybe this should be a Ladies Only post ; )

That's too much. One should not have to laugh like that on a Saturday night.
