      maybe they're just sick of reading perezhilton. they should read www.theanti-pop.com instead. way better music news….and no political BS!!!!!

      I expected a better commercial from Ridley Scott!
      .
      That was a beautiful man however.



    6. 6

      What a bullshit ad! Why is the poor child forced to gaze at her in awe? She looks like a fucking mannequin.
      Lay off the fucking botox Nicole!



    7. 7

      The guy's kinda hot but they couldn't have used an actual Indian?



    8. 8

      it's a bit weird.



    9. 9

      I'm sorry, but that was pretty bad…



    10. 10

      wow, in a commercial? what a sell out… f course, you would know all about that, right, mario?



    11. 11

      damn perez, you didnt even trash her, too much



    12. 12

      HUH? DID I MISS SOMETHING HERE?? THE COMMERCIAL DOESN'T MAKE ANY DAMN SENSE. DONT THEY REMEMBER THE KIM BASINGER-MICKEY ROURKE FRUIT AND SLIME SCENE FROM 9 1/2 WEEKS??? NOW THAT WAS HOT! IN FACT THAT WOULD BE THE BETTER SWEPPES COMMERCIAL. STICK A BOTTLE OF SWEPPES IN THERE AND BANG! HIGH RATINGS. HAHAHA.



    13. 13

      Dandified - the guy, Arjun Rampal, IS Indian. He's a model and Bollywood actor.



    14. 14

      sexy and classy



    15. 15

      very bad commercial..but the guy Arjun Rampal is actually a really big star in India so,if the commercial airs over there i think they would be more interested in him.



    16. 16

      Okay that made no sense. But I don't get why everyone bags on Nicole.



    17. 17

      a completely orientalist ad: the little "dark" girl is gazing in awe at the "beautiful white woman" in India, where the imperialists came to modernize and save the "dark" people. come on. it gets reallllly old.
      some things never change.



    18. 18

      OH MY GOD!! i really liked this commercial!! The end was so unexpected and SO FUNNY!!! :D aw well.. i'm sad to hear there is a lot of people who didnt like it!!! But i have to admit, i really do prefer her in the Chanel No5 Commercial -> THAT WAS HOT COMMERCIAL!!!!



    19. 19

      Re: smurfy threesome – - my thoughts exactly! And oops, didn't know he was Indian. He looks mixed-race, and I know Indians can be very pale but he he still didn't look fully asian. Then again, asians can be as racist as anyone and they favour pale skin too. Btw, I'm part Indian (also Portugese, Malay and Scottish), so I can say these things ;D



    20. 20

      yuck. she' too pasty for this dumb commercial



    21. 21

      Not only is she a great acctress but a totally beautiful and classy woman. Glamour, Glamour, Glamour..Only she can deliver such a beautiful and misterious moments in this commercial.

      The girl is adorable and the guy is not bad looking either.- Great director, faboulous place, good looking talent…This is of course, a winner!!!!!!



    22. 22

      Good God Can that "woman" be any more fake looking. She looks like a mannequin. And those huge inner tube lips sucking at that bottle are disgusting not sexy.

    27. 27

      Re: dandified – He IS INDIAN dumbass. He's an actor there. Do your research biatch



    28. 28

      haha, it's like "look, the slumchild finally gets to hang out with Nicole Kidman!" she's been granted the one wish of being able to hang around the pretty white lady!! insulting…totally using that little girl.



    29. 29

      not being racist but it would have all meshed better if theyd got a beautiful asian actress instead of flat-screen-fod nicole. she just doesnt fit in with the exotic feel of the rest of ad



    30. 30

      she is pretty



    31. 31

      Gauzy age-defying camera filters, ten-thousand dollar dress, cute grinning kid to make her look like less of an ice queen, or Chanel ad II, the sequel.



    33. 33

      SHE LOOKS BEAUTIFUL EVEN IF I DONT UNDERSTAND THE COMMERCIAL



    34. 34
