The new Dairy Queen Commercial

Post by Cernd »

Did anyone else see the new Dairy Queen commercial and immediately think of Hanako when the show the little black haired girl with the burn? Or am I just crazy >.>


Here is a link to the commercial for those who haven't seen it.

I didn't see it in the first place. :?
It's the hair I think. Maybe she had short hair but grew it long after getting the scar?

I doubt I would have thought of Hanako if you hadn't pointed it out.....

Grew it out to cover her scars. Plausible.
It's a good thing Shizune is deaf, she is the only one who can stand (not) hearing "Wahaha~!" over and over.

Wow, an advert like that would get so many complaints if it aired in the UK.

The UK gives out tickets for climbing trees and being loud. I wouldn't be surprised.

What kind of cheap-ass legbrace falls apart because of a slow walking motion?

Yup, because it was in a movie it has got to be real! :wink:

No, I've not even seen it before. I don't think I'd equate burn victims to Hanako anyway.

What I want to know is, if you wanted to help, why you would buy calories-in-a-cup from DQ with part of the proceeds going to help these kids when you can just donate to the organizations directly...

Also, KS needs a Hairlip-tan

Because we are gonna be stuffing our face with calories-in-a-cup anyway and this lets us feel virtuous about adding to the plaque in our arteries and the layer of blubber on our carcasses. :wink:

That, and it's a convenience thing. I recall seeing that commercial and DQ pledged to donate any and all profits from those things to the foundation (which means cost of sale minus cost of production). I'd probably guess that to be somewhere in the $0.50 to $1.00 range, maybe a little more. Consider how many people actually knew about the foundation to begin with, then consider how many of them knew the address or a location where they can send donations to. When a big company like DQ provides an exceptionally convenient way for you to donate, even if you aren't actually 'donating,' they have provided awareness and more donations than they would have received otherwise.

Kind of makes you wonder how Emi would feel about this...

"But just one Blizzard!"
"It's bad for your health!"
"But it's for the children!"
