True insights into kiting ... or, the chocolate milk made me do it (LONGER no less).
A blast from the past from Helvetia Ovaltine tells it how it really is(n't) in kiting. It is amusing but negative advertising all the same. Have to say these folks are no strangers to controversial advertising, it goes WAY back, see below. Translated caption "The truism "Practice makes perfect" applies in kiteboarding. Good to We know that is true, another wisdom, which says: "With Ovaltine can you not be better. But longer. " Some behind the scenes production photos of the work in progress. They take accurate trouncing of the wannabe seriously, well almost. From the Ovamaltine FB page, https://www.facebook.com/ovomaltine/photos_stream . The tower of staged kite-calamity! IF you're going get lofted, this is the way to do it with safety rigging, storyboards in place. We all know sex sells but does it sell chocolate milk in this 1933 ad?! http://noonesnemesis.tumblr.com/ I am not totally certain but I suspect the skier in a diaper and baby hat in the Swiss Alps is about to chug some of the magic beverage. Hey, get that guy some ski clothes before something freezes off! http://patientcircle.org/english/201...of-health.html Ovomaltine at the start in 1904, before the days of defaming kiting http://patientcircle.org/ What is in this stuff, Valium? Something about this ad makes me think of the cult film classic "Reefer Madness." http://i.crackedcdn.com/ I found this at the same link as the ad above this one. Misleading negative advertising on sexual forays by servicemen. You would think running around at the front in your birthday suit without ammo would be safer. Maybe that was the point? http://www.cracked.com/article_19311...tisements.html Very unSwiss-like I would say, promoting sexual orientation change through sucking down chocolate milk before turning in. So, those are some of the hazards of chocolate moo-juice, buyer beware. .
