Last but not least: Volcano gives the Friends a hard time
Actually, the commercial that the Hamburg-based agency Scholz & Friends recently produced for Siemens is harmless—if it weren't for Eyjafjallajökull. The Icelandic volcano threw a wrench in the advertisers' plans.
Due to the effects of the volcanic eruption, the latest Scholz & Friends commercial is attracting more attention than the Friends would like. The context: the commercial begins with a volcano spewing ash. The film also provides the solution to the problem: simply vacuum up everything with the new vacuum cleaner from Siemens. Actually funny, isn't it? But Eyjafjallajökul is now the advertisers' undoing. The commercial is cynical, they say. But honestly, nobody could have guessed that the Icelandic volcano would paralyze half of Europe. Unfortunate coincidence?
