Advertising Agency: Unknown

This ad is from the early 2003. PUMA officials denied that they made this ad and threatened to sue anyone who posted it. In January 2006 Peter Kim (ex PUMA International Marketing Manager) solved the mystery aroud this viral ad:
What really happened - a small Eastern European agency affiliated with Saatchi & Saatchi created the ads on spec, trying to win business with a PUMA subsidiary. They got nothing and emailed the ads to friends; from that point it snowballed. As you can guess, when the PUMA powers-that-be decided to get all corporate on the blogosphere, the whole thing exploded. Poor Pete M.'s (PUMA GC in the US) email inbox exploded with junk after that, with his name being on the cease and desist. No "Brazilian Maxim", no evil master plan (they're real but we'll say they're fake), but online store sales were up like CRAZY for a couple of weeks. Too bad we didn't even have the shoes in the ads in stock!

Anyway this is a clever viral ad. [via]

No, because if you saw these all the time you'd get desensitized to them and they wouldn't have any effect on you. You'd flip through a magazine and see an ad like this and think "Meh, nothing I haven't seen before. Nothing I won't see on every other page of this magazine."

14. THIS is the proplem of ...
THIS is the proplem of socity today. its advertising like this that is the cause of premarital sex, and rampant teenagers involving themselves in sexual activity that should not be tamperd with until marriage. Young people are growing up too soon there innoncenc is being takern away younger and younger. A 12 year old will see an advert like this and understand what is going on, that is real concern. Then we get ourselfs in all kinds of trouble, STDS, single parents, children without there father and so on, then we wonder why young people are so angry, and vent out there fustration in there enviroment causin trouble and so on. Think of all the promblems we cant prevent by not giving in to our lusts. Advertising like this does not help the socity keep sex, whitch is a precious and beautiful thing and not just a physical act that has no effect on ones mind, personality and most seriously ones soul. Our morals and values are faiding away, we seem to accept anything these days. Advertising is very powerful so please use this power for good and use it to portray positive things, and build morals and respect and images that protects young peoples mind.

I would like it better if the guy was on his knees. Really, why can't ads take care of the ladies? And the cum is just tacky, we all know what is going on without that. Do the writers, or whoever just think we're slow?

she is a young girl
and she is a sex object
used to sell shoes
she has no face because her humanity is uninvolved
she is not human, she is not equal
she has cum on her leg and she is in a position of passive vulnerability
is it any wonder that violence against women is on the rise?

Although one should be careful with where the ad is placed, to limit the exposure to our young ones, I think it's a great ad altogether :D
32. I think these comments ...
I think these comments are funnier then the actual ad, to blame all of these problems on a couple of subliminal ads is ridiculous. Obviously it only does harm but the society has to be fundamentally flawed (like we are, and i include myself in the we) before we can see it expressed in the media.
P.S. a real puma girl would swallow!
33. If you don't get ...
If you don't get what’s going on in this ad and are over 14 or 15 u shouldn’t be able to express your opinion on this page, and your just plane stupid!
34. Wow, shut up and learn ...
Wow, shut up and learn how to spell. Just because you're a slut who gave head when you were 14 doesn't mean everyone who didn't is stupid. Yeah, I don't know you, and I don't know that you gave head or were a slut, but you know what? You don't know anyone else who commented here, and telling them they're stupid and shouldn't be allowed to express their opinion is just as judgmental. Trust me, you don't want stupid people to be prohibited from expressing their opinions. It wouldn't serve you well.
35. you can't spell plain.

36. This image is a very ...
This image is a very well done and it is very imaginative. However I can understand the concerns surrounding this image as expressed by some of those who have responded to this image. Some of you like this picture and some of you believe it to be degrading but in a way all of you feel both intrigued and disturbed by this picture. It is hard to believe I know but natural human nature can not be avoided all of us feel the same urge to fear what is different be intrigued by something new and feel and eternal lust for love.

38. Nich, I feel what you ...
Nich, I feel what you are saying. Kids are not stupid these days, they are subjected to more sexual images than before. Anyone who says things like "the female should have swallowed" and "nothing is wrong with this ad" do not have descent morals. Hope these people don't have daughters on their knees at the very same time they make these stupid comments.
39. Stop judging people ...
Stop judging people before you know them and saying that they don't have decent morals, which you spelled wrong by the way, because they don't object to a picture that you object to. If you don't like the picture, don't look at it, but don't call people immoral because they did. Everyone has different values, and you're being very disrespectful. That's not very moral either.
40. the women in the ...
the women in the picture cant be portrayed as being under age just look at how developed she is!! and further more on sarahs point, a rise of female abuse?? thats not an advatisors fault. its shitty rednecks americans who believe that they have male supremacy. this ad is a tongue in cheek look at the ever increasing sexual lives of people. get over it and get over yourself. you cant balme puma just cos youve been slapped around a bit. dont think of yourself as a woman think of yourself as a person get a back bone and report the bastard whos affected you! jesus!

just because the girl is gibing the guy some head dosnt mean that they are trying to strike women. my gf gives me head all the time lol dosnt mean every one hates her... and she wants to do it anyways... so as long as hes not raping her then im ok with it...
a nother thing.... every one has sex? your parents are doing it now i bet lol >.<
47. So there are no girls ...
So there are no girls who perform these acts out of free will, or even enjoy doing so? Sex is supposed to provide pleasure and. The way some of the commenters put it they make it sound like a punishment.

Interesting reading the comments here. Ive found that perception is projection. You see what you want. The comments here are just information about the observers state of mind. I see a poor bloke whose just severed some nerves with a bad gash to his hand from a broken milk bottle. Quite nasty. There was of course spilt milk. But lets not cry about that! And this woman, (who shares his taste in footware) is tending his wound with the first aid kit that was in the puma bag. Well, it could be, couldn't it? Cum-on, get real!

i wanna know if the sales for the female version of the shoes rocketed as well as the male version.
"but online store sales were up like CRAZY for a couple of weeks."
It would raise a couple of questions for the moral campainers above in this blog.
not saying i approve of the ad.
although i would probably take the guys place if given the choice.
:p

Dirty talk :P
60. if this is really from ...
if this is really from puma then its very degrading to humans. All that it says is, anyone who wears puma is a filty animal. Only animals do this to the public.
A company like Puma should think about the wellfare of the society and not things like this.
Creativity is not Stupidity, they should change this and come out with somthing creative.
61. Did you not read the ...
Did you not read the blog? Do you read at all? Puma did not publish this, in fact they rejected it when another company pitched it to them. You are foolish for assuming that Puma condones this ad and that "anyone who wears puma is a filty animal". So every person who buy products from a sports company that someone once made a racy ad for are all filthy animals? (You spelled filthy wrong, by the way, and stupidity is not a name so it shouldn't be in caps. Maybe you should take some reading/writing classes before you try going on the internet again.) So if I made an objectionable picture and slapped a brand on it that you at some point in your life have worn, you would instantly become a filthy animal? That would probably be a good thing for you then, because at least filthy animals have brains.
62. What they should of ...
What they should of done is put a little puma kitten on her leg. Now that would of been better.
63. First of all, anyone ...
First of all, anyone saying this ad does not degrade BOTH men and women is a moron. Yes, most adults engage is sexual activity. Both the act that is pictured and all other kinds of sexual acts included. But in advertising i think it is fair to say that women are usually portrayed doing these acts. The man is of course also stereotyped as the "typical"man, virile, high sex drive, etc. It places both in unrealistic categories. And like someone else said, why the fuck is she the one on her knees? Because that's where society expects her to be in an advertisement like this. You don't expect her to be the one receiving oral sex. That would put her in a position of power. If this advert was real, it would be targeted at MEN. Do you really think that a picture with a woman on her knees with some guys cum on her leg is going to make women want to buy fucking puma shoes?
And no, it doesn't specifically promote violence against women, but it promotes disrespect which breeds violence so he might as well be slapping her in the face with a caption saying: buy our shoes, hegemony rules!
Secondly, i agree with what someone else said. That it's not clever, it's obvious. Sex sells. It's been done to death.

Secondly, She doesn't look underage. As has already been pointed out, she is obviously developed. But her style of dress (short tartan skirt, cropped top, fishnet stockings combined with the sneakers and the cutsie bag) is clearly tapping into pornographic ideas surrounding so-called "lolitas" that have become popular in adult films.
Thirdly, i agree with what someone else said. That it's not clever, it's obvious. Sex sells. It's been done to death.
