Foreign Ads Posit That Some Women Actually Care About Soccer
Latest
This Lay’s ad out of Uruguay has a seriously edgy premise: that a chick might actually be into fútbol, and perhaps even more shockingly, know what she’s talking about.
It’s all in Spanish, so allow us to roughly translate: At first, the lone girl on the couch appears uninterested in the action that is making her male friends lunge towards the screen in joy. And then she says coolly that it doesn’t count, and launches into a technical explanation making her case. When the ref agrees, the dudes have to concede that she knows her shit. The tagline indicates that just as you can’t do without girls who love soccer, you can’t do without Lays.
It’s not a specifically woman-targeted campaign, from the looks of it — the other spot includes just dudes treating their house like a stadium, and a parallel spot substituting Chile for Uruguay. (Such promiscuity!)
