== K-fee advertisements == | |||
In 2004, German caffeine company ''K-fee'' made some controversial TV adverts for their coffee drink. These adverts have been heavily criticized for their content and many feel that the advert is very uncommercial and upsetting, though its shocking visual is built to simulate the effect that the product has on the viewer. | |||
The ads consist of a peaceful scene, such as a car driving down a grassy hillside to soothing music. However, at some point in the ad, the scene gets briefly interrupted by either a zombie or a gargoyle screaming at the camera, followed by the company's slogan and the product. | |||
The K-fee company received a lot of complaints about viewers getting heart attacks and young children getting startled. Soon after that, the ads stopped being aired on TV. On some occasions, a warning message was displayed before the advert played, informing any young children, individuals who are easily scared and people with heart conditions to not view the footage. | |||

* '''Auto''' | * '''Auto''' — The commercial begins with a relaxing scene of a white car driving down a grassy hillside to soothing music. When the car passes behind a large tree, the camera follows. When it pans off the tree, the car is gone. Then, a zombie with a frightening scream then suddenly pops into the scenevery briefly, scaring the viewer. | ||
* '''Fishing''' | * '''Fishing''' — This shows a man fishing, and not long afterwards the zombie appears, surprisingly not looking directly into the camera as he screams. | ||
* '''Yoga''' | * '''Yoga''' — This shows a person practicing yoga on a cliff, and as soon as the person lifts his hand, the zombie seemingly appears out of nowhere, screaming. His face is obscured by the dark. This is probably the scariest of all ads. | ||
* '''Meadow''' | * '''Meadow''' — A view over a field is shown, and the camera stops moving at a certain point. Not long after, the zombie shows up from the left side of the screen and screams. | ||
* '''Surfing''' | * '''Surfing''' — This is a far away view of a man going to the ocean to go surfing. Then the zombie appears from the right side of the screen and screams. This also seems to use the same footage of the zombie that's used in K-fee auto. | ||
