Flax: Shit in Space

Whether it's a black cat crossing our paths or a shooting star, we all look for good omens before buying a lottery ticket. But, as this scatologically silly spot for Norwegian scratchcard lottery Flax shows, lucky signs can come from the basest of places.

Set on an international space station, the ad, created by Try and helmed by Matias & Mathias via Bacon Oslo, sees an astronaut going about their daily business (ahem). So far, so prosaic. But when the toilet is 'flushed' and the waste is shot into space, it transforms into something magical... at least that's how it looks to the star-gazers down on Planet Earth.
