No, not really. Featured at the beginning in close-up, then in almost every frame in some form or another, then again in close-up. That's considerably more than in the Raw advert.

Perhaps you need to define "good" for the purposes of this conversation.

I'm really not sure what you mean, or how the offensiveness of an advert is relevant to the discussion we're currently having.

An advert is there to promote the product in that way Go Compare adverts are works of genius

Yes, but this is ground we've been over. I don't call the can being on screen necessarily featuring it. I was talking about close-ups, and you've agreed these were equal.

It's imaginative, has a catchy tune and sticks in the memory, and not for being shambolic and cliched like Vanity's advert.

It's relevant because IMO Vanity's ad was offensive in its lazy stereotypes to the point where it would deter me, and hopefully everyone, from buying the product.

So basically seen it before with a slightly higher production quality and the genders reversed.”

Yeah, that was their Pulse fragrance in 2003, I think - with the brilliant Room 5 - Make Luv as the song for the advert.
