  • Ass-vertising?! (No that's not a typo)

     

    If this isn't evidence that we've entered a new millennium, than I don't know what is:

    Way back in the day when marketers were reaching for any means necessary to attract attention, one company came up with the notion of assvertsing. The idea was simple. Place ad messages on the asses of hot woman and parade them around for all to gawk at.

    Apparently, Kodak thought this was a great idea:

    Assvertising was so great you knew it would be copied. Who knew Kodak would be the one to stoop so low? That's like butterscotch-giving-grandpa hitting on your girlfriend - and stealing her (true story). Apparently, Kodak used the derriere media placement during a photo convention in Boston Kiev, Ukraine. At least two hot women were hired to wear ridiculously short mini skirts with Kodak logoed panties underneath and then drops things on the convention floor and pick them up.

    Wow.  That's either pure genius, or pure genius.  Confused about it works?  Perhaps these pictures will help clarify:

      


    Now that you've been exposed to all this "branding", do you have a sudden and passionate desire to buy Kodak film?

    Ass-vertising: the wave of the future?  Or a new low in marketing?  We'd love to hear from you!
