World-Cup publicity

Every single commercial out there this days has something to do with the World Cup, or football, or the national team, whether they have paid rights to be an official sponsor or just use the football theme as an excuse for their ad. There have been quite some creative and original ads, but this one just cracked me up the other day at a bus stop in Mexico City:

They don’t mention anything about the Cup, or the game, or the team; yet the slogan “Sí, se puede” (Yes, we can) and the wig with our flag colors give away the “football soccer” theme. It is especially funny that they used the pig —maybe the potato head would’ve been equally funny.

I cracked up when I saw it, and I guess it’s just an advance laugh for the movie I would’ve seen anyways —wig or no wig ;)
