Ha Ha Hot or Duck Duck Goose?

Sometimes you look at a picture and you know it’s off, but there are just so many things to comment on that you can’t articulate any of them.
Yeah, this ad for Converse featuring its new brand models, Choi Kang-hee (My Sweet Seoul) and boy-bander Kim Hyun-joong (of SS501), is one of those instances.
Converse is selling… what, exactly? The ad says “down jumper” but the picture tells me “goose mothering skills.”
Tags: Choi Kang-hee, Kim Hyun-joong
guess it’s just trying to get the point across that the jackets are goose down
besides, it’s wacky enough to catch ppl’s attention & make a topic about it like you did, lol~ (oops, didn’t mean to comment twice -_-;;;)
omg XD lol i seriously love choi kang hee’s!
in fact i love this commercial, its so unique and hillarious
it’s like a parody…i totally agree with the previous comments, it’s so wrong that it’s hilarious, esp choi kang hee’s.
ditto eb – so wrong on so many levels & your comments are spot-on & ridiculously funny, as always.
love your blog!
hahaha! who cares?! it’s Kim Hyun Joong! (that’s what they’re trying to say LMAO)
Me: Mommy, did I come out of an egg like that?
Mommy: Shut up!! Kiss my Converse!!
Me: Sho nuff mommy!!

Kim Hyung-Joon: Hello, I am breastfeeding my child goose.
Goose: Come see my breastfeeding mother as Rui in the new adaptation of Hana Yori Dango!! Quack.
Kim Hyung-Joon: Shut up!! Kiss my Converse!!
LOL… luv the comments!!!
LMAO, goose mothering skills?
Gotta love the ad, it’s so weird yet it kinda stands out. At least I’ll forever remember that goose milking pic, lol..
theres just…something wrong lol
like when i see the duck i dont think oh down, feathers
i think they kill the duck and stuff the jacket with it
I KNOW that wrong but i still have that feeling
What Jane said, but…oh boy, such a lame ad!
I thought Converse only made sneakers?
everytime i see hyunjoong, i am reminded of how his nose doesn’t look like that before. lol.
but funny advertisement, nonetheless. it’s so wrong, yet amusing.
Oh gosh. I these advertisements would have been a lot more effective, IMO, if the geese they had didn’t look so fake. Sheesh, Korea. Did you just walk into a toy store? Kang-Hee’s egg doesn’t look so bad, but the geese are awful
And besides! Those are not “jumpers.” If you’re going to use British English, use it properly. If you’re going to stick with the American–call it a jacket. Jumper? Definitely a sweater, Korea.
i read somewhere else that those two were specifically chosen for this campaign because of their 4D personalities….so i am assuming the pictures ARE supposed to be weird and ridiculous….
are there more? hehehe…..i want to see more
maybe Converse will make leather jackets next, and nurture calves in their ads.
I will never understand marketing.
I LOVE THIS AD! it’s so weird and quirky it’s awesome.
First though: GEESE!!
Second thought: Wait..wtf?
[about 2 minutes pass where Katy stares at pictures. then...]
Last thought: Ohh. Geese, feathers. Down. Riiiiight.
but yeah. uh. interesting concept.
You are talking about Converse as in shoes, right?
If they were selling the shoes, they need to advertise it and actually show the shoes! Hyun Joong’s pic didn’t show the shoes and Kang Hee’s was hidden under all the frills of her skirt!
What the?!
oh. my. god. 10 bucks says converse hired the same designer bjork did during the 2001 oscars red carpet. http://fabsugar.com/144212
That second picture is awesome.
