Odd Commercial



Please watch the video, so you know what I am talking about. If you are anything like me, the commercial made you raise a brow. When I first saw this commercial, I didn't know what to think besides 'WTF' (Do I need to tell you what that means?). This is an odd commercial that is trying to sell people the Honda Scooters. I don't think anyone rides them anymore, or at least I haven't seen any. Grace Jones (Woman) is trying to get Adam Ant (Man) to get the scooter. She says its sexy, stylish, and fast. Adam is skeptical at first, not sure if the scooter is for him, but in the end Grace, talks him into buying the scooter. I have seen several commercials and alot make me go "WTF' but I believe its just a way of the company to get you interested in their product, so they make a odd, funny, or perhaps a heartwarming commercial, so you either get the product or at least think about getting it. But one other thing that did get my attention was the way Grace Jones looked like. She had short upright hair, thick make up on, faces she made, and the way she talked to Adam, I thought this was intresting because not of commercials if any have a woman dressed or looks like that any more, besides Lady Gaga, whom I don't think has done commercials. But this commercial was in the 1980's I believe and they used all kinds of actors, actresses, and singers to sell their products, the commercial above is a good example.
