Title: Stupid ad on Facebook
Post by: Monkeyleg on March 26, 2011, 06:26:12 PM
A couple of times a day I check in on Facebook to see what my nieces and nephews are saying (usually nothing interesting).

Today I checked in, and saw this stupid ad:

Why do I say it's a stupid ad?















BECAUSE IF I HAD WHAT'S IN THAT PHOTO, I WOULDN'T BE THINKING ABOUT SLEEPING!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WHO CREATED THIS AD? PEREZ HILTON?

How would high heel wrap-around sandal thingies help you not think about sleep?

i'm guessing that their thought process went something like this:

"i like hot girls. i like looking at hot girls. therefore, if i put hot girls on my ad, people will look at it."

True enough, and I remember many marketing managers in the 1980's and earlier who thought the same way. It wasn't until ad agencies started measuring viewer responses that they found that viewers didn't remember the product being sold.

Apparently, some still don't know that.

When I was in Wisconsin the Head On ads drove me up the wall. I know you apply it directly to the forehead, but I have no idea what it is or why I would want it on my head. The commercials never say that. The ads are so dumb I have never bothered to look it up.

I still want to make a laxative suppository and call it BUTT-UP, so I can parody their commercials.

Because, man; first you let them wear shoes, then they want to leave the house. And drive cars. Next thing you know, they'll try to learn to read and such.

That's because guys often are drunk, and also because we weren't blessed with the ability to have multiple orgasms. We got cheated.

I wonder if that's true or if it's simply that none of us have ever tried for number 2.

stupid ad? how many of us went looking for it now?
plus we have a whole thread about it-seems like it did exactly what it was intended to do.

I'm still not sure though what they're selling.

I'm talking number in one "session". If you're talking number in multiple "sessions", then I've had thirteen "sessions" in an eight-hour timeframe. But only one orgasm per session.

Both. the majorty of sex in my life was with a sober partner. And even the drinker can go for two.

Must create a spreadsheet on this subject someday in the future. Previous scientific tests indicated that an hour was sufficient, but did not try for a lower time than that.

It's not until number five or six that you start actively regretting it.

Sure, it's fun while it lasts, but afterward, it's more like a really bad hangover after getting kicked in the groin a couple times.

I'm not going to get into an argument with you on either point, but it was done more than right, and it didn't hurt. ;) It's still a topic of conversation here. And it helped to be 17 at the time.

Back in the day I had a buddy that was even more ordinary than myself and I am about as ordinary as dirt ... Mike was about 5'7" tall and really nothing to look at.  Wherever we went incredibly hot women would walk up to Mike, kiss him deeply, and tell him in no uncertain terms that they missed sleeping with him and ask him, quite boldly when he thought they might have another opportunity.  We were both late teens early twenties (the 70's was a great decade).  To say the least every time I saw this happen it blew my mind.  Finally I asked one of these women what the hell was up ... she informed me that Mike was genuinely multi-orgasmic and that fact had been shared by many women leading to the most impressive 'resume' I had ever seen.   :O
