So how did you react the first time you saw KMart's Joe Boxer ad??? I broke up laughing so hard that I didn't even know what it was advertising! In fact it took about three times until I noticed. I think they are finally making up for all those T&A ads that leave the guys bug eyed! It's about time!
 

My reaction to the ad was ... who is the audience that they were selling that to?
IMO.. it's too juvenile for adults and too risque for little kids.
.. other than that I didn't think much of it one way or the other.
 
My reaction was that it was risque, and on the vulgar side. More like something that is not prime time, but judging from what seems to be acceptable these days when just about anything goes, I guess it's mild and fits right in with the philosophy that sex sells...by the way, what were they selling, anyway?.

I just watched a movie this morning that had a shot of a man in full frontal nudity..it was not a sex scene, he was the only person in the shot, standing naked at a kitchen counter and turned around just long enough to take a good measure. Absolutely no reason to have this 15 second no dialogue scene in the film that I could see, it added nothing to the movie, but I guess they did it just because they could.
 
They showed on TV an old ad from KMart, with naked men that had wrapped gift packages around their private sections...so they were commenting how this is not new, but VERY effective for the company. They said being talked about on social media, and the ad pretty much going viral on the internet, along with the TV commercials, was a very effective sales method. They said whether people liked the ad or not, it attracted them to the store to shop in the end. :dollar:
 
Many of the videos that have gone viral on YouTube and other social media sites include suicides, beatings and vehicular accidents.

Personally, if I had a company I wouldn't want to achieve viral status at the expense of my morals.
 
I thought it was funny, but agree that it's not really appropriate for the younger set. No doubt, they see worse in movies, but I wouldn't allow younger ones to watch those kind of movies, and don't think that was appropriate for daytime tv.

OTOH, the Hardee's commercials (I think it's Hardee's) with the 2 women grilling, or dressed in skimpy outfits eating a burger - well, obviously meant for men, aren't any worse, IMO.

Hubby and I have also watched commercials that gives us really no clue to what they are selling.

Click to expand...

Hardee's/Carl Jr.'s had Heidi Klum do a commercial where she draped herself around some burger or another. I've never seen her as anything but a floozy, so naturally that perception has extended to the restaurants.

Oopsies!
