Wes Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 So I was looking at USF's website, and I stumbled across this wonderful thumbnail image. Sorry it's so small, it's the largest I could find. I understand the Hulk reference, but do you really want to be promoting your parks by showing some overweight dad with no shirt and his kid following suit? I honestly don't know what to say here.

jackskellington101 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 That has been in their advertising forever. It's a still from the TV spot. It's usually the same spot that had the overweight lady shoving her pre-teen children into her bosoms on Jurassic Park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disneyfan1313 Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 It's shown on TV in Orlando about every 30 minutes. Blah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheArchfiend Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Overweight dad? I think he looks to be in great shape for a guy thats probably in his mid to late 40s. Maybe those were just two patrons reacting to a price increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnage Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 A few tweaks in photosop and it would look like that man is ripping the kids clothes off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jarmor Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Hey dont overweight people go to theme parks also...I applaud universal for knowing that regular people come to the parks and showing that in their advertising! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wes Posted January 27, 2007 Author Share Posted January 27, 2007 I don't have a problem showing overweight people, I just think showing them sans shirt is a bit interesting. I haven't seen the commercial where this was from, but judging by how it was described to me, it has a quirky, humorous tone...which makes the thumbnail image make more sense.
