Poll: Sex sells?

[Ignignokt]

It sells to everyone except me, too.

One of the Eddie Izzard shows (maybe "the Definite Article" or "Unrepeatable") has a good take on this.

I've seen a great Kenyan (I think) advert for condoms which is full of innuendo and bloody funny can't seem to find it though and an Anne Summers advert with a woman crawling around her house flicking a red kidney bean which is also great as you don't know what it's about till the end (which I don't really want to try and find while I'm at work).

Where's the "It's never did and I find it offensive that they think I'm that stupid" option?

It has nothing to do with stupidity. If you're past puberty (I suppose you are) I extremely doubt that sex never did sell to you.

Sex stopped selling the minute Billy Mays started to yell at me.

And dear god I miss his "BILLY MAYS HERE!" somthing bout him made me lol myself into submission

Does it take logic of anything higher than a 6 year old to realize "hey if I buy that, this person in this commercial who looks sort of pretty will still never care about me?"

Would you buy a cheeseburger if the commerical had a topless DD college girl eating it?

As most men who watch TV know; a tv-show or advertisement showing women giving away erotic poses will most likely attract more people(mostly just men) to that channel.
Frankly though, I'm kinda fed up with it; Constantly seeing women shaking their a$$ in front of the camera to get more ratings begins to turn on me. I'm willing to shout at the producers to get original again and dump the whole 'oh-look-titties'-idea that's dominating the tv for over a decade!

So now I'm asking you: Does it really sell anymore for you?

Yes and no. If you're talking pretty girls with some class, then yeah. If however you mean skanky chicks from like, a Shot at Love, then HELL NO!

 

[Thurmer]

its not sex in advertising will make you buy the products
the idea is that sex gets your attention, and its true if theres hot girls in skimpy outfits theres a greater chance on the viewer watching and so forth

its actually been done and they got great results lol

It works subconsciously, mostly...

 

[Xanadeas]

It doesn't work on me. Because homosexuality isn't prevalent in main stream media. Except in shows such as Will and Grace... and that's really the only example I know of. D< Do you know how annoying it is having some woman with massive tits pop up on screen every time I try to watch TV? DX I usually flip channels because it's horrendously obnoxious.

Now the real question is, if a women saw a naked man with a huge willy eating a cheeseburger, would she buy it or call the FCC?

If Ian McKellen was naked and eating cheeseburger on TV, would you buy it?

I don't know who that is. Is he attractive? But... it might get my attention and get me to watch the commercial... But it wouldn't make me hungry for a cheeseburger. <_< I'm just a pervy bastard. XD
