Air New Zealand is at it again with some racy ads…

Gosh, you’ve gotta love Air New Zealand for their creativity, eh? First, it’s grandma running through the aisle naked in Air New Zealand’s new safety video, and now they have three, erm, unique ads promoting their new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.

Here’s the first ad, “Happy Hour:”

Here’s the second ad, “The Intimate Art of Touch:”

Here’s the third ad, “Story Time:”

Thoughts? Hilarious? Offensive? Somewhere in the middle? I’m laughing my rear off over these.

I can’t decide if it’s because I think they’re funny or if it’s simply because I’m amazed that an airline would spend their ad dollars like this. Well, I guess Air New Zealand is a firm believer in viral marketing, that’s for sure…

@ iahphx - Air New Zealand do fly people safely and efficiently around the world. However a company does not need to be boring to do that. I'm actually really glad that you are less likely to fly with them. Please don't. I'm more than happy to fly on airlines that are not full of uptight people!

The first one is the funniest. The 2nd one, not so funny, and the 3rd one?????? Beats me what they're talking about. :>)

Well, as an uptight Northern Hemispherer, I find the ads crude and unprofessional. They would make me less likely to fly Air New Zealand in the future. An airline is not a late night comedy club. Oh, sure, there's nothing wrong with making folks laugh, but at the end of the day, flying people safely and efficiently around the world in metal tubes is a serious business. Would you hire a doctor or lawyer who advertised like this? Wouldn't you want one that seemed, um, more professional? Personally, I'd prefer an airline that acted a little more professionally.
