Ignited is out with an ad for Sanuk Shoes that envisions why simply wearing the brand’s shoes will maintain your comfort even in life’s most uncomfortable situations, like sitting in front of a kid who won’t stop kicking your seat on a nine hour flight.
So why is this ad dumb? First of all, not even the most comfortable shoes will assuage the antics of a crazed kid on a plane. And second, if you’re going to imply that only the guy in the middle is bothered by the kid. and not those sitting next to the guy, you might want to detach the seats from each other before you shoot the commercial.
