We had our hopes up. Our fingers crossed. Our mind optimistic. And that happy mental state lasted all the way to :52 in this new Adidas Iconics commercial. We were like wow! An ad with Snoop Dogg, skaters, rap, hot cars, superstars…and no gratuitous booty! No booty! We thought, this breaks new ground! This is creative nirvanna! This deserves its own Cannes Lion “Assless Rap” category!
Sadly, like a first timer trying to make it to the finish line without…ahem…prematurely finishing, this ad shot it’s wad with less than eight seconds to go. Bam! Pow! Booty! All up in our face! And here we thought we could finally write the headline, “Adidas Alienates Ass. Leaves Snoop Dogg Drooling.”
