|  Am I the only one offended by the new RedBull Commericals.... Ok, Maybe it is me...I don't mean to be an activist at heart but...... I saw this RedBull commercial last night where a guy in a suit gets pooped on my a bird flying over. He gets it off him, then pulls out a redbull out of his suit and drinks it. Then he pulls out a sling shot and shoots the bird! The bird falls to the ground then HE KICKS IT!!!!!!! I know it is just a commercial but come on, what is next... a dog pees on his car tire, he drinks a redbull then runs over him. Or a horse bucks him off, he drinks a redbull then he shoots him... I have to tell you I was really really offended!!!!!!!!!!! Is it just me that see this as offensive? It made me question what has the world coming to when we use animal abuse to promote our products... It doesn't matter what the animal was, it was cruel to show it and to show him KICKING IT after he shot is.... Btw, I called Redbull and complained, of course I got the vm but I did leave my message! __________________ | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Re: Am I the only one offended by the new RedBull Commericals.... I saw one where he flew over the bird and pooped on him, but not the one with the sling shot. That one would have offended me as well. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Re: Am I the only one offended by the new RedBull Commericals.... RedBull went to far...that is not funny ad to me. Geico Insurance on the other hand supports Zoos and Aquariums. That is a classic difference between good marketing and poor marketing. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Re: Am I the only one offended by the new RedBull Commericals.... i wouldn't say it "offended" me, but i did think it was a bit in bad taste. not exactly the best marketing choice. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Re: Am I the only one offended by the new RedBull Commericals.... When I saw it the first time I was horrified & actually gasped. I wondered if they were trying to ape the dumb but humourous Beer ads. The sling shot of the bird was kind of WarnerBros-like, however the brutality really hit a nerve. I avoid commercials as much as possible & assumed it was pulled. It is a dumb product & the commercials are dumb as well - no offense meant to drinkers of the product, we all have Achilles Tendons. | |||||||||||||||||||||
