Sleazy CIROC Sean Combs television ad

[Hillbeans]

Ugh, I am so sick of the CIROC ad with Sean Combs escorting the two ladies into a waiting limo in what is supposed to be the morning after a night spent at his house. They have their cocktail dresses on and are doing the "walk of shame".

Am I the only one who thinks this ad is sleazy and a complete turn-off? Is this really what it takes to sell a bottle of booze?

I thought he was getting them a ride home because they had been drinking....at least that's what I thought I heard him say.....I do know he also gave $15 debit cards to be used NYE night in NYC so people got home safely....

I agree - I didn't think it was a "walk of shame" situation at all - I thought it was a "you are too drunk to drive so let my driver take you home safely" kind of thing.

Maybe i'm off base, and maybe it is meant to be more along the lines of a don't drink and drive ad, but IMO then he could have the rest of the group from the party and not just these 2 ladies wearing their night-before clothing in the daytime.

It's good that he gave people gift cards to get home on NYE, but I still don't like this ad.

I haven't seen this one. What type of programming are they showing this commercial in? I know I don't watch a lot of tv, but just haven't even seen it.

I got the impression that Combs was trying to immulate "The Rat Pack' and their look and lifestyle. That's the vibe I got. I really don't know much about the Rat Pack (I'd have to ask my dad about that one). Combs is NO Sintra..

It's a "drink responsibly" ad. Diddy is having his driver take the ladies who are too buzzed to drive themselves, home. You clearly hear him ask for their car keys. I actually thought it was a fairly responsible ad.

I don't find anything sleazy about this ad at all. He is trying to say to drink responsibly and not to drive.
