This Finnish milk ad has to be fake, right?

This rather awkward image showed up recently on Buzzfeed. It's been floating around Reddit for over a year. It can be traced back to here. Any better ideas as to provenance? 

UPDATE: Word on the social media street is that it's student work. My friend Evan also sent me this Italian link that included some much worse dairy ads from there:

"Nurse yourselves"

"The beautiful things of summer"

"Races of scamorze" (It's a soft cheese)

F'd Ad Fridays: F'd Law Association Ad

I couldn't find a non-flash version of this ad for The Association of Finnish Lawyers, which just went up on Copyranter, which is too bad because it's a little embarrassing for desktop viewing at work. (Turn down the sound and keep an eye out for passers by.)



Goodness me. And I thought it was the lawyers who kept the admen in line...

And I think I know why they misspelt "Finnish"

F'd Ad Fridays: Art Direction gone overboard in Finnish McDonald's ad

It's a bacon cheeseburger. A bacon Goddamn cheeseburger. If you are talking to someone who is hungry for a bacon cheeseburger, then it is enough to show them a beauty shot of one, perhaps with a low pricepoint. And then they will buy it. Maybe even two, if they're drunk.

But this, DDB Helsinki, this ad is not designed to sell cheeseburgers. It is designed to make other Art Directors say, "hey! cool!'. And they are quite possibly vegans.

Yes, it's the right way around. No, I don't know what it means.
