When you first see this woman walking down the street with her fuzzy pet rodent, her cheerful disposition set to upbeat music might fool you into thinking this is just another cute Australian commercial. But! Even though the woman and the Castor canadensis get their hair did, nails painted and hit the beach, she's not actually hanging out with a beaver. The critter is a symbol. Because as the voiceover explains, "You've only got one. So for the ultimate care down there, make it U." The ad is for U brand tampons. Have there been complaints? Yes. Has the ad been pulled? No. Is it offensive? You be the judge. Click the picture to see the clip. [AdFreak, News.com.au.]
