Ok. We thought we had heard it all in the latest odd place to stick an ad. But who would have thought to put ads on prostitutes' thighs and cleavage? Apparently Dutch design student Raoul Balai. He got bored of conventional advertisements, so set up a fake online agency offering advertising space on prostitutes.
It doesn't end there for this cutting-edge thinking desinger. Oh no. On his website he also suggested painting zoo animals with brand names and foalting billboards off beaches. Slight problem there as an Amsterdam zoo threatened Balai with a defamation suit after he depicted fish from the zoo with the brand name of a frozen fish company.
His website (Flash and slow to load, be patient) instoresnow.nl
If you call the "agencies" phone number, you'll be bombarded with sales messages while on hold until you finally give up. ;)
Ah, this is great fun. Cool way to take up the discussion about ad polution.
However, should this idea ever find it's way to the streets I hope that we as an industry will produce top notch advertising each and every time. I can't imagine a more annoying place to see crappy advertising than while having sex!!
