I've always looked as Trojan commercials as kind of annoying promotions of SEXisONLYforHOTPEOPLE. I was pleasantly surprised just now to see a Trojan condom commercial with not just REAL looking people, but OMG AN OLDER, BIGGER WOMAN, TALKING ABOUT HAVING SEX. Sure, she was there to sell it to older couples, maybe ones looking for something new to try... BUT THEY THREW HER IN WITH THE "HOTPEOPLE".
It made me happy. Any fatties (or just someone BIGGER than size FOUR) on commercials usually gives me respect for the brand. It is easy to get what people consider attractive on a commercial, but it shows more dedication (or maybe just unawareness of the apparent TV fat ban) for a brand to chose a fatty over a thin woman. I love marketing towards "real people". Yes, models are real too, but common? Not so much. The women in the Dove commercials are much more real and affective than the women in the Victoria Secrets commercials.
It does still come down to selling to certain buyer, but Trogan could have easily chosen to pick all thin, HOTPEOPLE models. A brand that isn't trying to sell what the media considers ideal sex, but real sex instead, is refreshing.
Note: This post was completely impromptu in nature. If you can think of other commercials I might have missed, or other aspects I have not considered, that's fair. I just like the big girls on commercial's, y'all. (:
