An actual shampoo brand, Biomen, is using imagery of Hitler in a Turkish TV ad. It’s not a spoof. It’s not a joke. It’s an actual ad currently airing in Turkey. The ad’s translation reads, “If you’re not wearing women’s clothes, you shouldn’t be using women’s shampoo either. Here it is. A real man’s shampoo. Biomen. Real men use Biomen.”
If there’s one constant in this twisted business we call advertising it’s that every once in a while we are witness to some of the strangest, most inconceivable happenings. Though the use of Hitler in an ad will unlikely be topped.
