Campaigns Bullriding Gum Commercial A new commercial for EXTRA gum features a live bullriding event, in which
the gum is superimposed 'riding' the bucking bull. The Wrigley Company sent the following response to our complaint: From: <[email protected]>
Thank you for writing to express your opinion about our ads for ExtraŽ
Cool Watermelon gum. Because the purpose of all Wrigley advertising is to win friends for
our company and its products, we certainly like to know whenever anyone
has some objection to one of our ads, and we appreciate hearing from you.
Your point of view, along with other comments we have received about
this campaign, will be carefully considered. We certainly appreciate your support. Thanks again for contacting the
Wrigley Company. Sincerely, Melissa Griffin Apparently Melissa wasn't being sincere; the commercial is still running
a week later. Please add your voice; bullriding is a miserable rodeo event in which a
bull (or horse) is shocked, hit, has his tail twisted in the chute and a
rope cinched tightly near his genitals to make him appear wild and 'buck.'
