Birds & the Bees

I really liked this ad from Norwegian Newspaper VG! I found it on AdAge but I think it's very cute and clever. I think newspapers do really mask people from situations in society. I thought about a coffee shop - people go here to read the paper, but sometimes people are paying attention to those around them and just pretend to be busy with the paper. Also, it reminded me of my parents at breakfast when I was in highschool. My dad could ask, "Honey did you call the yard man today?" and my mom would say "Oh I um er uh yes, let me finish reading this - we'll talk later". Having a paper in front of you is definitely a way to avoid a sticky situation, especially the one in this ad where the little girl has made her Barbies look like they are having a wild & crazy party (haha).
