I built this website. From scratch. Including the servers.
For shits & giggles, we can pretend that Lucille looked like this, because of another cover, namely the one of Mississippi seeds, har har har! Of course, that's not the case, and the mass-produced, once stolen, original Lucille with the inlay you speak of is a black guitar. I don't know if B.B. King ever had a guitar with a copper-nameplate like the one shown in the ad. All I know is, I don't like the advert very much, but I like B.B. King. Oh, and this has something to do with Toyota and "bold".
Since this has turned into a picture thread, I'll bite.
I think that the guitar picked is the burned wood color because that's the color of the guitar on the album cover "Lucille", where the art direction/photo is quite deliberately reminding viewers of the shape of a woman. (Next comment will have another photo)
Yes, it's unfortunate that the first two comments spent their energies on disagreeing with David more than discussing the idea but that was to be expected when he weighed in on the creation of such nudes in the first place.
Like Patrick from the Unfappening says, pictures on the internet aren't so easily removed. Now that we know an immoral Russian webhost has all the images and he refuses to take them down, tender (read "horny") moments between starlets and their chosen partners will forever be found on the net.
I say "immoral" because he's banking on stolen property. Funnily enough, that's how a lot of the most popular web sites work these days. And there's literally nothing that the toothless DMCA or other copyright laws can do about it. International copyright relations to Russia are complicated, on top of an already complicated idea of ownership of data in the shape of photographs or music, in a world where people honestly think "it's on the internet = it's public domain".
While I like the artists cover-ups, especially the cartoon octopus & proud bird, for the idea to work these have to spread further than the original nudes. Also, now we're in the territory of bringing more attention to something that one of the involved starlets has called a "sex crime". She's calling it a sexual violation and demanding that the laws change so these web sites can be punished (ie; Russian host & more). I agree that laws need to change, this much has been obvious for years with photographers leaving the business and countless bands packing it up. Those photos are copyrighted, and there are laws about that, but it's not very sexy to talk about how hard it is for creators of stuffs to keep control of their stuffs. Google can scan your email for child porn, surely there's a tech solution to this dilemma? There is, but when we go there, the discussion shifts to an overbearing controlling government and then the discussion derails again. We've had all of these conversations before.
Sometimes it's just simpler to cover up the nipples with an octopus.
Really?
It's B. B. King's "Lucille" because first idea. *sigh*
Well this one fucking doesn't so spell properly from now, pretty please. :)
(Actually it used to filter "accountmen" to spell "acuntmen" instead, but I was the only one in the world to find that funny and it's super childish so I removed that eons ago)
Yes, but the release also explains that there's more to come (online content?) and that this is the first effort from "first launch initiative under the Total Toyota (T2) model, a total market model that created a more cohesive marketing approach. All of the T2 agencies (Saatchi & Saatchi Los Angeles, Burrell Communications, Conill, InterTrend Communications and Zenith) came together under Saatchi LA’s leadership to arrive at a core idea for the campaign. " Which means all of those agencies have weighed in to make sure it can work (and doesn't offend) in their markets so .....Yeay for missing the utterly sexist slant on this, all ye agencies. Well done.
