All I Want for Christmas...

David Miller - Friday, October 14, 2011

Is a real life cut-out tool, like the one depicted in these Ving Travel Agency ads.

Targeting parents who seldom get a break from the antics of their attention consuming youngsters (I have two of those), this campaign suggests a much needed escape to a luxury resort.

“Adults only,” is the sole listed condition of the enticing offer, but the image within each print still pictures parents with their children keeping close. 

In this first ad, a couple share a romantic dinner together, accompanied by their spaghetti-throwing infant son. 

The second ad depicts a woman relaxing on the pool deck next to her excited, splashing kids. 

In both cases, the ankle biters and their associated activities are being playfully excised from the pictures with a dotted line and scissors.

If only a real life airbrushing tool-set existed too...
