It's almost as if the ad guys have run out of ideas so they stick some sexy chick up on the bill board or whatever. If you look at the most succesful bill board campaings woman are not there. Speights and Tui's spring to mind.
Yes, but look at Tui's tv ads - HEAPS of women! And Speights subtle use of the blonde barmaid...
But I have to agree in part - it's almost like the ad guys think "mmn, can't think of anything great about this product and I'm not clever enough so I'll just use tits! That will work and they'll buy it anyway!"
As people here know, I am not a fan of small children and in particular babies. So the surest way to make me avoid a product is to use cutesy kids in the ads! As soon as I see an obnoxious child advertising something, I just switch off. (With one exception - the ad for the fruit lollies where the father chops the heads off them - for some reason I like that girl!)
Yes, I am pedantic about spelling and grammar so get used to it!
