Any gossip from the BTACA's? Or just the usual coke induced mashing and shagging in the toilets we all expect from these kind of bashes?

Lynx TV Commercial

neptune — Wed, 15 Aug 2007 17:11:46 GMT

The new Lynx TV Commercial is pukey. The submissive man, who is a la Lynx, naked, acts like a cross between an ape, and a streaker. Why is it considered necessary, in order to sell a toiletry? Some of us have imaginations. The commercial itself, is dire. The worst one was, a bare backsided man, being ogled by a bimbo, again not needed, to advertise a toiletry. However The ASA, saw nothing wrong, oddly. Another one was, not preoccupied with bare flesh, in the same way, but had an aggressive bimbo, spraying a product, at a pretty boy. Somewhat thoughtless. It is Sods Law, that one seems to see more of this kind of thing, causing an immediate wish, to change channels.

All their commercials, use superficially good looking, white skinned people, implying, that no one else matters, and is entitled to buy their products, which are cheap, to use such pretensions. I notice, that women are never featured in the same lack of clothing, in commercials, or other entertainments. Somewhat sexist.

Does anyone actually get the aero ad? I wonder how much he got paid...

Ask: a risky campaign?

I'm not sure what people think about the Ask campaign but i heard something funny... Apparently a blogger searched for Google on Ask.com and it pulled up this comment 'Don't be a droid- use different sources of information'. This was next to a picture of a man on puppet strings and a link to Ask.com's anti- Google website.

Naughty naughty!

Carphone Warehouse pulls from Celebrity Big Brother

BillyB — Thu, 18 Jan 2007 15:53:24 GMT

So were they right to pull their sponsorship of the show?

Have they made a stand for morals over missing out on exposure to millions?

What do you think?

Who?

Which recent lunchtime PR event was so terrible that the presentations over ran by 3 hours and there was only a sandwich and soft drink for lunch?
