I Got Banned Because I Said “Pussy.” Yea, That’s Right. Three Times.
So, uh, I’m betting that got your attention… and not only because it rings true with so many of us.
This pussy-filled copy is from a series of print ads from back in 2000 for Butch, a New Zealand pet food company. Check out the whole campaign here.
