Hippo, Whale Serve as Ill-Fated Metaphors for “Biggest Oven Ever”

DM9DDB in Sao Paulo is responsible for this ad touting the size of Whirlpool’s Brastemp BOC 90, which is apparently “the biggest oven ever” according to the copy. A hippo and a whale we guess serve as easy metaphors to point out the appliance’s massive size. Judging by the apple in the mouth, you can basically sum up their fate in an ad that could possibly piss off some animal rights folks.
