Vilara Gets Mean to Hawk Exclusivity, Leaves More Questions than Answers

vilara_chavs.jpg

Like the queen bee on the quad, some people just get off on making other people look lame in comparison. We’re guessing that’s how this spot for Vilara is supposed to encourage people to go there. Apparently Vilara is super-awesome because chavs (a slang term for working-class uneducated folk, according to handy Wikipedia) don’t know where it is. And the website notes places only get It status when they’re virtually unheard-of.

So why advertise for it? Who are they talking to exactly? Won’t this in fact make chavs aware? Does that mean they stop being chavs? And what TV-watching demo will actually be relieved that the topless kissing chicks featured in the ad won’t be at this dream spot?

Real confidence rarely needs to announce itself: it shows up as stillness under pressure, a level voice when everyone else in the room is raising theirs, a willingness to let silence sit for a few extra seconds, and no need to perform for an audience that was never really watching
