In Spring and Summer 2010, Orangina launched a new advertisement campaign, titled "Naturally", which showed a series of animals using the soda for purposes other than drinking. Most of the ads were created by the ad agency NoSite, with the publicity agency Fred & Farid credited for the concepts behind the series (and the 2007 ad campaign[1]).

"Orangina - the advantage of freshness sports"[edit]

"Orangina - and your after shave is impeccable"[edit]
One particularly notable commercial in the series, released on June 22, 2010, features an anthropomorphic male puma dressed only in a towel while shaving in front of the bathroom mirror and then using Orangina as an aftershave; while the voiceover narrates the bracing sensation of the tonic, a male human (played by American gay model and OURsceneTV personality Matt Maggiacomo) also dressed in a towel, comes into the bathroom and begins to sensually caress the Orangina-laced cheek of the puma. The commercial, when released in France and England, became controversial among the television-viewing public due to suggestions of bestiality between the two gay male characters of different species[12]; as a result, NoSite Agency announced that the commercial would not be aired on French television due to being considered "too polemic"[13][14].
Paris-based blog From Paris with Yagg initially interpreted the ad (or the non-showing of the a) as a "leverage of homophobia" to in order to create the buzz for the commercial two days before the Paris Gay Pride season[15], but the founder of NoSite, Thomas Clément, replied to From Paris with Yagg with an assertion that the commercial was ran by French-language LGBT-positive blogs and forums in order to garner how the commercial would be perceived[16].
Reception by LGBT-positive and English-language pop cultural blogs, however, was mixed, with many wanting to disassociate themselves from insinuations of bestiality and others calling for more openness among LGBT individuals towards [17][18][19][20]

"Giraffe [Light]"[edit]
A giraffe and her two human girlfriends are rollerblading in the sun on a boardwalk, but the giraffe notices a young human male also jogging in the opposite direction. The giraffe then turns tail to sniff at the buttocks of the man, alarming him to run away with the giraffe chasing behind him; eventually, the giraffe then returns with the man slung over her shoulder, to the amusement of the two human women skating alongside.[23]
