Chocolate is not sex, and neither is chocolate ice cream, but we've been selling chocolate with sex-innuendo and virile men since forever. ;)
> about the industry
Absolutely. The ad industry, shady as it may seem to some has been good at self-regulating poor practices in the past, but seems to have totally dropped the ball on email marketing (see Spam) and banner ad networks, partly due to the global connectivity of it all. The global industry needs to have an honest sit-down now that the ad-blockers seem to have gained the upper hand. This is an arms race between consumers and advertisers, and the kid caught in the middle is the publisher/content creator. We have devalued content to the point of it being worth zero to the creator, but millions to the person with the right database. This should certainly be discussed a lot more and I'm relieved that it finally is. Thanks for your piece and commenting here, Marco.
Oh how fun! This reminds me a little of Jung Von Matt's "Lorem Ipsum" recruitment, only in the fact that they are advertising it where the hard working art directors are looking.
Amy saying "smorgasbard" instead of smörgåsbord" really sent it home. Tsssk. Americans. Or wait, Canadians? Either way, people-who-speak-english. STOP APPROPRIATING MY WORDS YO* ! ;)
*obviously kidding.
