Maybe I don't "get it", but that was an extremely irritating ad. I find most perfume ads to be nonsense.

I think perfume ads are pure image clips. How else do you convey a scent, it's really hard to describe. In this case it's probably also due to Cunningham being just an irritating director of sorts.

You're selling an image with your scent. Embedding and associating ideas to the fragrance beyond the actual functional value of the fragrance itself.

No different from the rest of fashion in general.

He WAS paid $7M, he did not PAY $7M. Your title is misleading.

And I really think the math are fuzzy, what is this $10M meaning? Media buying money? If that's the case then it's ridiculous to pay 70% of your media buying on one talent. If it's just production, well then it makes more sense.

Yet here we are discussing Chanel and their bottled stank.

Disappointing indeed. I know Brad is just a rich celebrity but from all the interviews/roles he's taken I genuinely thought he was different. Maybe he did this for a favor or something? Or maybe he really is just another actor who likes more money.

My girlfriend loves this advert. So do I. Everytime it comes on the tele... well let's just say she get's a bit overexcited, which is good for me.

I had the same feeling when I saw a commercial for a hedge fund voiced by Matt Damon.

Wonder why they didn't include this in the article?

YouTube user MrJetpacks posted "Like he hasn't got enough money?! Brad Pitt man, you were great in Seven, I liked you in Fight Club, you were terrifying in Kalifornia, and rock n roll cool in Johnny Suede. What has become of you? Do you not realise that by spouting this drivel on behalf of an overpriced women's scent, you may as well me eating up your credibility as dinner, vomiting it out, then eating it again, through a straw, then shitting it out in a violent liquid stream, all over your own boots? Never to be washed off."

Well, as has been pointed out, these guys have a massive standard of living to maintain. Pitt has houses all over the world, private transportation, staff maintaining it all as well as an affectation for buying art.

Ridiculous that someone gets paid $7 million to do that when kids are dying in slums. Hope he donates every cent to something worthwhile.

48 is old?

When someone says you're starting to look old, that statement has nothing to do with your actual age. The fact is that growing grey facial hair is going to make you look much older than having a clean face and non-grey hair. He could still pull off early to mid 30's if he wanted to, but he doesn't seem to want to, and that's fine too.

Hope it didn't cause anyone too much distress.

Maybe he's gonna donate the 7mil to charity or to Obama or some shit. At least that's what I'm hoping. That was really, really ridiculous.
