This commercial was banned because antiviolence activists were arguing that it illustrates the definition of rape culture. The author if this book I'm reading it saying it exploits the idea that "the male brute, creates an unrealistic construction of what a woman needs to acheive (Olympic-level ahtelic ability) in order to elude a violent attack, and generally objectifies the idea of violence against women to do the mst important thing - that is, selling running shoes."
Michael Myers wiith a chainsaw!! Didn't see that one. No wonder she outrun him!! Maybe it'd be better if Michael was wearing the sneaks and ripped the shit out of the girl. I'd have bought a pair!!
@stevie179 i say it does look like micheal but i never seen him with a chainsaw before.... :l so i guess i go with u or micheal idk this ine be on u u pick wut should do
There where some women's groups offended because it "Promoted" violence against women......Whatever....if anything it proved that Jason was a fat butt!!!
No, it wasn't banned, it was pulled because some groups deemed it demeaning to women. Silly, I say, as it depicts not a shrinking violet, male-dependent Barbie, but a fit, competent woman running off and leaving the chain-saw wielder gasping into the forest mulch, completely gassed. Hats off to Nike (or whatever ad agency developed the spot) and a big razzberry to the ignorant knee-jerk protesters who pouted and whined about the spot.
ThIngs don't get banned in the US. We don't have the BBC running the show for ou rmedia. Certain outlets will decide what they want to use for advertising but this commercial wasn't "banned". That would equate with governmental authority. Calling something "banned" is just a bullshit YouTube buzzword to get people to look at it.
Not exactly true. The FCC cannot, and does not, regulate speech before the fact. There is no prior restraint, to allow such would have a chilling effect on the First Amendment. Speech cannot be regulated except for its time, place and manner. If, after the fact, speech is deemed false, misleading or offensive, as you put it, there MAY be consequences if there really is a cause of action, but there is no preclusion of content. You run a risk with racy content. Smoked? That'd be you, punk.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
dude fuck US and the ways there laws are, they are just like terrorists anyways, they can go to your house anytime they want and put cuffs on you whether or not you did anything and tell u when to eat and tell u when u can leave and if u dont comply u get beaten and thrown in a hole for a long time, and unless u have been through this shit then dont run your mouth about how good US is, this country is based on lies and deception, and uneducated ppl just thnk they are criminals if wearing cuffs
The irony is during that same week they were running ads for a movie call "Urban Legends" which was extremely violent and the woman in the commercial was clearly killed and that didn't bother any one.
This rocks! It made me jump, I wasn't expecting that, but it was hilarious. At the end he was like " Aw fuck it! I can't catch her, damn it! How'd she learn to run so fast?!"
Ignorant? You really think I don't know about the rest of the world? I'm fully aware of the shit going down, however this is where I live right now, and this country still has MANY problems. Yeah, we've got shelter, as for education, it's pretty much shit if you live in the right areas. Food? Only if you have money or a trashcan near by, or someone's pity.
Yeah, we're a pretty privileged country. But we are far from perfect. Every country's got it's problems.
WOW. You did not just try to compare other countries to the United States. Are you trying to prove that the US has so much problems?
We dont have good education? We dont have plenty of food?
Have you not seen other countries where they have none of that? Who cares if the US isnt perfect. Is any country perfect? And if the US doesnt live up to your high standards, then go away and live in some other underpriveleged coutnry and then tell me how unperfect it is here.
The US DOES have problems. EVERY country does. Perfect is a myth. And I was pointing out America's issues with censorship, but maybe you weren't paying attention?
And I NEVER said the entirety of the US didn't have good education. I said that not all of it did, which is true.
You just want to argue and are therefore making a mountain out of a molehill. I however have other things to do. Good day.
I LOVED this ad! I am so sick of the horror movie cliche of the wowan trying to run, braking a heel off her pumps and that's the end of her- I always wanted to see this in a horror movie
The ad was banned because of a copyright issue with the mask worn. It's too close to Michael Myers from Halloween and the people from the Halloween Franchise were going to sue over it. I actually own the screen worn mask that I picked up at the 30th Halloween movie last Oct in Pass, California.
this wasnt banned, I remember watching this on t.v. Unless they played it and got complaints then pulled it. But its an awesome commerical! One of my favorites from nike!
stupid that this was banned in the US. It's similar to one of the Diet Mt. Dew commercials, or even the new Direct TV ads that insert an actor saying new lines in a classic movie.
I think mostly if she hadn't stripped to a bra, then ran in said bra, it probably would have been okay.
This is soo funny! I'm a woman and I take pride in the fact that if something were chasing me, I could out probably outrun it. The person who made the call to ban this was probably not a runner.
motivated by WOMEN's fear?!? any sane person would run like hell in this situation (unless they hapen to have a gun in their pocket or right beside them...)
why would anyone ban hat, what a bunch of whining "feminists" i think that is hilarious! and i am a woman. i get so tired of the politically correct BS
They couldn't use one or the other because of copyright/trademark infringement issues. So, they create something that's a little of both, but not enough of either one to be true infringement. It also helps to play of off those characters for people who are already familiar with them.
At last. A woman who does'nt fall over when running in a horror movie.
