Man crashes car to gets closer to Miroslav underpants
In a new cinema ad by agency M&C Saatchi, a man deliberately crashes his car just so he can get closer to a pair of underpants.
The tagline ‘Quality best appreciated up close’ is brought to life when a man smashes into another car so he can hug an air-bag covered with a pair of Miroslav briefs.
The campaign will run across print, radio and cinema, but not on TV.
A print campaign with a similar theme ran nationally in fashion magazines as double page spreads.
Andrew Scott, Miroslav head of marketing said: “The core benefit of the product is quality. We knew we had to do more than put a model in the underwear to communicate that.”
“While the benefit is a pragmatic one, we’ve tried not to take ourselves too seriously”.

Odd. A car manufacturer would not be able to use such footage (not that they would want to) as the naysayers would claim it promoted dangerous driving, but you can use it to flog undies.

I agree with John. Plus he wasnt wearing his seat belt in the end shot. Irresponsible? Very. Funny? Not at all.
