Ads featuring women stereotypes



In this advertising there are two fat twin sisters who are sitting on two deckchairs.They are wearing the same type of bikini. The slogan focuses on the possibility offered by the bank of a current account which suits different requests from different customers. The message is effective and humorous as well, and consistent with the image.

The ad is for Bosch Car Service. The slogan "Mai con uno sconosciuto. Meglio Bosch car service means " Never do it with someone you don't know. Bosch car service is much better". Of course it plays on ambiguity both of the words and the picture of a beautiful girl's smiling face. In the copy there's some infomation on Bosch car service and details on how to contact them (telephone number, web site address etc). The ad is ironic but, in my opinion, too explicit to bet really effective.
