MTV International wanted to create a spot expressing the emotions of “first love” felt by viewers who discover its content pieces for the first time. The result was this cutesy-wutesy spot, developed by MTV World Design Studio Milan, featuring a young girl frolicking around a fantastic landscape replete with flying hearts and butterflies. The technical production, directed by prodco Blacklist’s David Lobser, is quite good and certainly gets across the idea that the young lady is truly enamoured with the things she discovers in the very pink land. That being said, we’re not sure that we would associate hearts and butterflies with programs like Jersey Shore. If that’s how kids feel when they watch that show, we weep for our youth. Is it just us, or is there a ton of sexual innuendo in this? There’s something up with those winged hearts.
