| Why does mom have a Rentway arrow in the shelf in the closet where she hides our Christmas presents? |
At least a company with a giant animated talking dildo should get your attention in their commercials, right?
In this fifteen-second ad for Rentway we see what appears to be a giant talking purple phallus urging us to save more by renting at Rentway. In the end we can see it’s supposed to be an animated arrow.
In the best-case scenario (the scenario where this mascot is not mistaken for a flying penis) an animated talking 3-D arrow is a shitty logo. If they were too lazy to come up with something better they were probably too lazy to check and see if their idea had an uncanny resemblance to a jiggly purple dildo.
This is jiggly purple dildo, signing off.
