Carlsberg beer made a commercial where they rented a small movie theater. There are 150 seats and they filled 148 of them with tattooed, leather clad, body pierced biker-types. They left 2 seats open, right in the middle of all of those bikers…
What would you do?
Such an interesting example of human behavior, isn’t it?
I showed the commercial to Devin and Conner. We discussed whether or not we would have done it… (I’d like to think that I would have.)
Conner said: “It would depend on what movie was playing.”
I assumed he meant he was gauging the stay-or-go decision on how much he wanted to see a particular movie. Not so.
He clarified it for me: “No, I mean if they were all sitting there to see Twilight or something, you’d know you were probably pretty safe. What kind of a tough guy would see Twilight?! pfft”
That got me all choked up and brought a tear to my eye.
Oh my gosh that is the best! I called my husband over to watch it with me again. What a fabulous commercial and a great peek reactions to stereotypes, I know we’d sit down! We love biker guys. lol I laughed out loud at Conner’s Twilight comment. Tell him I said “hey…now!” lol

That’s funny! Though it would be pretty awesome if it was Twilight!
I wouldn’t sit there only because it’s smack in the middle. I like the aisle! Bikers and tatts don’t intimidate me. I think.
What a great message!
That is awesome! I wonder what I would do if I walked in like that. I found it interesting how all of the guys immediatly stepped closer to their girls
I totally TOTALLY would have done it! It looks so bad when they stood there just staring and deciding what to do. LOL
What an awesome commercial! I liked when the girl was fine with sitting down but the guy was the one who wanted to leave!
I doubt I would have walked out because of biker fright. I’d walk out because of extreme claustrophobia and I sweat profusely around leather. It’d be a favor to them all that I left….trust.
This brought tears to my eyes. I know, for myself, I would have just gone to the middle and sat down. Bikers, tattoos and piercings are just part of living in Los Angeles. =0)
I LOVED IT!!!!! Thanks for showing it to us!!

That is great.
I’m gonna be honest and say that I’m not so sure I would have sat down. That makes me a bit sad and embarrassed but it’s the truth.
Funny thing, I married a biker and we both have tattoos!
