Run! 'Knocked Up' TV Marketing Campaign's Giant Amphibious Sperms Will Kill Us All! [Marketing]
http://defamer.com/ 5045937/ run-knocked-up-tv-marketing-campaigns-giant-amphibiou...
Via the Copyranter blog, we bring you this ingenious, if kind of gross, marketing effort for an upcoming showing of Knocked Up on New Zealand TV. It mounts a living, breathing recreation of a sperm's penetration of the oocyte using a diorama incorporating tadpoles and a fish food-stuffed egg-sponge. And while we'd hate to see what kind of baby results from sperms that look like that, we do think this adverquarium could have a lengthy second life as a handy visual learning aid for Sarah Palin, available to wheel out every time she needs to explain to the American public when life precisely begins.

http://www.bestweekever.tv/2008/09/05/where-are-your-peta-go...Copyranter (via Defamer) brings us the following ad promoting the movie Knocked Up in New Zealand, which uses tadpoles and a fish-food soaked sponge to recreate the sperm heading towards the egg, Look Who’s Talking style: Now, most of you will have to admit that this is a pretty brilliant campaign. But my question is: WHERE IS PETA? These pool little tadpoles are being held PRISONER in a corporate ad used to promte a SETH ROGEN movie about PREGNANCY. Oh, hey little tadpole, you wanna go grow legs and hop out onto the river bank and be a little frog and take a little ol’ frog nap? Of course! Just do us one quick favor: MMM… Look like a sperm for as long as possible on a bus stop wall, and then we can maybe negotiate things a few months down the line. So where are your PETA asses now? I don’t hear you! Why so quiet? Is it because you can’t pet a tadpole? You can’t put pictures of tadpoles on tote bags to show all your friends how big your heart is? IS IT BECAUSE THEY DON’T HAVE EARS? (AND POSSIBLY NOSES OR EVEN FACES?) I assure you, if it was Kermit the Actual Frog’s giant green ass suffocating behind that glass, you’d be freeing it as we speak. Which leads me to only one conclution: Dear PETA, You sicken me.
