Guinness Congo sapeaurs ad

Post by Sinned »

Guinness have started running a new ad which apparently goes under the name of Congo sapeurs. It features some Congolese gentlemen shedding their work clothes and getting dressed up in some brightly fashionable clothes. In one version there is a brief glimpse of a kilt and in another a gentleman in a decidedly feminine hairstyle. It just goes to show that manly men ( which I suppose that they are ) can wear bright colours although they were all still in trousers.

Here's a link to the ad:

Here's a link to a BBC page on it:

The narrator says "in life, you cannot always choose what you do, but you can always choose who you are." and I thought that this was so appropriate to this site.
I believe in offering every assistance short of actual help but then mainly just want to be left to be myself in all my difference and uniqueness.
