This ad isn't as bad as the first but still. It shows a man and woman doing something and the man is getting the gum out of her back pocket. Everything is black and white except for the tango gum. This ad is saying that you should be have sex to get some gum. All you need to do is ask for a piece of gum! This ad does show what is being sold but in a bad way. To me it would be just a little bit easier to just show the gum without all the people. The only problem though is that our generation doesn't want plain and simple. We always want something that will catch our eye. Apparently this is the only was to catch someone's attention.

You're right--we (consumers) need to be shocked in order to pay attention. Sad, isn't it?
