So, these Tanqueray ads...

You know, the “Tony Sinclair” ones (and if you don’t know, count yourself lucky).

Does anybody actually find these appealing? Because every time I see one, I have to fight this surprisingly strong feeling of revulsion. They make me not even want to see a bottle of Tanqueray, ever.

Actually, I’m interested in what you think the ad campaign is shooting for, what angle it’s supposed to be using to get at people. Obviously somebody somewhere thought it could be effective…

(I’m sorry if this isn’t entirely the appropriate forum; it seemed like the best one.)
