In order to get around the ban of direct-to-consumer advertising of prescription drugs on TV in Korea, [Pfizer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/advil-easy-open-arthritis-cap) came up with these interactive ads to promote [Viagra](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/erectile-dysfunction-gel) pills.

The ads come in the shape of a promotional hand fan with an image of an old or fat man without a penis. In order to use the fan, you have to put your finger in the hole, which instantly gives the guy an erection.

Brilliant!

The campaign was created by [Cheil Worldwide](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lifeguard-snack), Seoul, Korea, with creative and art direction by Sanghun Yoo and graphic design by Bom communications. The copy and illustration is by Jeonghun Yoo.
