Talk:Joe Camel

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Someone needs to add a reference to the Jokamel parody from TV Funhouse. --71.112.183.85 07:05, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Until recently (I would say 2004), a "funny" kids-friendly plush camel had been featured on Camel print commercials throughout Germany. The ads were largely plain in-your-face humour (as, for example, this plush camel falling down a skyscraper, with the underline "Never throw your Camels out of the window"). As this plushie is a resemblance of "Joe Camel" in my eyes, I would say the campaign wasn't over as of 10 July 1997 (as the article says) - this would be more the date of the ban of Joe Camel on the US market. It was on at least until 2004 - only taking a look at the German market!

Take a look at http://www.guenther-net.de/camels/camelbilder1.html The ads for the German market were made by the advertising agency McCann-Erickson.
