This advertisement for Evian water on the side of a vending machine at a Paris Metro stop has me totally baffled. I just don't understand why this guy is wearing a t-shirt with a baby's body on it and I really don't get what it has to do with bottled water. I'm also confused how their statement "fraĆ®cheur garantie" (guaranteed fresh) ties in with the picture.

Although mystifying, the picture does totally crack me up. It looks funny and would make a pretty good Halloween costume.

Anyway, if anyone out there has any insight into the meaning of this advertisement please let me know. The best I can think of is baby = young = fresh but then why not just have a picture of a baby with the water instead? What do you think?
