Once again, trolling the internet I manage to find YET ANOTHER video on Youtube that makes me scratch my head. This time it is a German grocery store campaign using famous VIRAL CATS (I use the term “famous” loosely)

One of the supermarket chains, Netto, in Germany has decided that the best way to promote their stores is, not to focus on their regular human customers, but to follow cats doing their shopping instead…”Viral Cats

Although some may think this is genius I, on the other hand, find it upsetting. Not because they use cats for the commercials because I have seen some weird commercials! It’s the fact that they use viral cats that became popular online for being weird! So not only are these cats famous on Youtube, but also because of this commercial. The video includes “NO NO NO Cat” “Piano Playing cat” and “Cats jumping from cucumbers”

 

Enjoy your day in sun kitties…your 15 minutes of fame is almost over!

I wonder if the commerical has actually helped boost sales?!
