Asian Culture, Lifestyle and Entertainment
Ivorian footballer Didier Drogba travels around the world to hunt for epic foods, but “unhappy” to find that Argentinian football star Lionel Messi is always ahead of his gourmet adventure. A humorous advertisement by Turkish Airlines.
Destinations include Turkey, Nepal, Japan, Siberia and Sahara. The last part of the video shows the company’s acclaimed in-flight meals while seemingly on the way to The Americas (which oddly don’t have any featured food in the commercial).
Commercial for Turkish Airlines featuring two of the world’s biggest sport stars, i.e. American basketball player Kobe Bryant and Argentine footballer Lionel Messi.
Turkish Airlines has been chosen as Europe’s Best Airline in the latest Skytrax World Airlines Awards. Ignorant on my part but I didn’t know the company is that good.
Argentine football star Lionel Messi on the cover of Mexico’s Esquire [Mx] Magazine.
PEPSI commercial featuring world-class football players i.e. Lionel Messi, Ricardo Kaká, Didier Drogba, Thierry Henry, Frank Lampard and Andrey Arshavin. Song is Oh Africa by American-Senegalese singer Akon who also appears in the video.
The FIFA World Cup will be held in South Africa this summer, hence the African culture theme. Sentimental wise it would be nice if there’s an Asian in the advert, but I guess there are no players “world-class” enough in Asia.
