Pants

This is an advert for pants. Obviously. It must have been 4pm on a Friday when this advert was commissioned – just what exactly is it saying? Your pants are nice so you can kick your wife’s head? Your wife is a tiger? She should be skinned?

If we wanted, we could guess that your brand new pants would be so luxurious and appealing, you would be able to walk all over any woman who dares to defy you. Somehow, we think this advert lacked such nuance.
