Of course, peace talks have been going on off and on for 40 years, so…. don’t hold your breath

Just made this same comment over on liveandletsfly…
I don’t think the purpose of the ad is to imply to cheat on your spouse on vacation. I think the point is you indulge in something that is a “cheat”, like eating the cake. I think you are taking this too seriously.
Yea, I also think you’re taking it a bit too seriously. I would imagine they would have a man in the ad vs a woman eating some pastry if they meant cheating on a spouse vs cheating on a diet.
I also really didn’t read that slant into the Lufthansa ad. I guess it depends on the mind of the viewer.
Carl – what are you trying to say about my mind!!?!?!! 🙂
I know what you (And others) mean. But I think clearly at the very least Lufthansa was going for a double entendre
It obviously can be interpreted two ways (based on the observations here), so it is a double entendre, Lufthansa intended or otherwise. I think if it was just the words, without the photo of the lady with the cake, I might be more likely to take it your way. It would be interesting to get a female opinion.
I’m a woman and I only saw the relationship cheat side of the double entendre. Had to stretch to see the calorie version after all your comments.
Woman chiming in here…
It would never have occurred to me that the ad refers to cheating on your spouse. To me, the message is all about the calories. I’ve heard different versions, e.g. Calories don’t count when you are on vacation (not a great advertising slogan).
BTW – that pastry looks good enough to spend $1000 to fly to Europe so I can eat it (and its brethren) and be as thin as the woman in the ad. Talk about a dream come true!
From the other ad (“in a relationship with Europe”) it becomes more clear that this is a marketing effort toward younger single women. Not a double entendre. Married men are not the target audience for these ads.
Interesting- I saw this add as referring to someone being in a relationship with her, after the cheat phrase in the last add. I think you are right though. Perhaps another double entendre.
