Who would want to co-opt Ubisoftâs bothersome mascots, the Raving Rabbids? Russian salad maker Belaya Dacha, apparently, who have swiped the leporine mischief makersâor a very, very close approximationâto shill their pre-packaged salad greens.
A helpful tipster turned us on to Belaya Dachaâs salad spot, which he says was created by the Bazelevs Group, a media company founded by Timur Bekmambetov. Heâs the director of Angelina Jolie vehicle Wanted and the Day Watch/Night Watch movies. Belaya Dacha plans to continue making the ads starring these âĐаО (bunnies).â
We contacted Ubisoft to see if they were aware of or approve of the stars of Rayman Raving Rabbids and Raving Rabbids: Travel in Time pimping Russian salad mixes, but they havenât responded. Perhaps theyâre just as stunned as we are that anyone would glom these annoying little creatures.
