Lawnmower Provides Bikini Line Trim

This is a billboard, shot by Flickr user Trev Vg, in Paris for, apparently, a lawnmower maker. We've seen racy ads that get the message across but this one definitely wins the prize for mixing relevance with attention-getting imagery. Those French sure aren't as caught up about sexual imagery as we Americans seem to be.

UPDATE: Apparently this campaign is years old and has already been featured in Archive Magazine. Well, we're just really sorry about covering something so old but we don't live in France and we don't read Archive Magazine. Call us dumb but we still like the ad and thought you would too.

That's right. This is part of a very old campaign for Kookai. Must be some seven years old.

The campaign was for Kookai, a women's clothes brand.

Before the idea was an ad, it was a viral email of a real tattoo that was a little risque.

So what if this thing is old? So am I. Thanks to AdRants for the recycle. If everything new is old, then everything old is new. Or something.

Yes, this ad is old, but it is funny and very imaginative. Credit to the person who came up with the ad that catches everyone's eye and has everyone still talking years later.

I have a great idea. On every post you should say the ad is really old so the only comments you'll get are that it's new. Then you can just tell them that you're so up to the minute that yesterday is old to you. Problem solved!
