The Boots Advert, Just A Comment
17 Answers
I am not sure if anyone else has noticed, but with the Boots summer advert, it originally started with the guy lying amongst sand dunes looking through binoculars, saying 'lets see if we can move closer' The next scene cut to a child on the beach having sun cream applied. I always thought that had very dodgy connotations! I can see that they have now changed the scene sequence of the advert, so that the man is not shown directly before the child. Given the current paedophile prosecutions, I wonder if someone pointed out this to them and they thought it was best to change it or if it is just coincidence that that the advert scene sequence has been changed.
Did anyone else ever notice this in the original sequence or is it just me!

I think you are right. I saw a recent production of The Marriage of Figaro, and altho I agree it is mainly about two men marrying not each other but two women, there is a sub plot with Cherubino which should be played by a man - as castrato actually but there arent many around who can sing - but by a woman, who then has to pretend to be a man. Later the woman ( cherubino ) who should be a man but isnt, has to pretend to be a woman ( which she is).
I mean is this suitable entertainment for young children and unmarried men ?

LOL...PP....I was once having dinner with a Saudi surgeon and had to explain to him that a Pantomine was a fictitious story where the leading man was played by a woman and i also had to explain why women took their kids to a Well Baby Clinic when they were well.........what was the point he asked?
Difficult eh?

How the standards of advertising have changed over the years. It appears that in 1938 there was nothing wrong with looking at a bit of a baby's bum.

Thank you for all the answers, hmm Marriage Of Figaro, I think I will give that a miss like Tilly2!
Mick, yes I think it is to do with hay fever relief and of course the scene is entirely innocent, it is just my slant on what I thought when I saw the next scene with the child on the beach, I put 2 and 2 together and have come up with, well about 444!
Margie04, now you have got me thinking about the Werther ad! Never noticed it before, but yes I guess the adults could be asking the kiddies to come up and see their puppies next.......
Now perhaps I really am getting a bit paranoid!
Thanks again

They probably trialled two versions of the ad and found this one to get the best response - although it could be your theory too.
The halfords TDF ads used to have many more shots of the really fat chap in pink Lycra - he was excellent, but they seem to have cut him down (the amount he is on screen, not his size) for the ad now. A shame in my opinion as it made me chuckle.
