Hell-O Magazine

[janno]

I agree with you to a point.... the difference however between this site and the advertising from Hell's pizza is that we are all adults here and can decide wether we want to look at something or wether we don't, and can control it accordingly...

the advertising of this company is out in the open, given to just anyone, with little or no regulation as to whose hands and/or eyes will get on it...It is crass advertising for the sole purpose to shock and get attention, without any thoughts for who it may affects...it is slightly irresponsible!

Agreed totally.

The Hell marketing is tired and not clever. Fine, just my opinion. But handing the mag out to children without the parent's consent is wrong.

By the way, us kids found my Dad's stash of Penthouses when we were about 7 or 8. Mum and Dad just said "don't you get all silly about looking at those" and left it at that. So nudity was no big deal, and we soon wandered off to do something else. Quite a good way of handling it, but it was in our own home, and still to this day I think the penthouses of the 70's and 80's were particularly beautiful and celebrated the female form. I doubt they would have had the same reaction if it had been hard core porn or some other dubious stuff.

The Hell Pizza mag just sounds immature, tasteless and idiotic. Which are things I would try to censor from my kids.

I don't understand how they can get away with using the term Hell-O as the name of the mag. What does the real Hello mag have to say about it?
Just thinking back to all the legal palaver about the 'Formerly the Blackball Hilton Hotel' on the West Coast.

But I'd kill for a proper pizza right now - in Korea the toppings include sweetcorn bits, mayonaisse, and glace cherries, and a tiny sprinkling of cheese.

Why thank you...you raise a good point, which I have actually wondered about.

I'm my view, my avatar is reasonably tasteful...you can see roundness and some form of detail, but it is clothed...and also, I would hope that it would be sufficiently subtle not to offend anyone...I have consciously selected one with clothing, and if it had been a nude, I would have censored it myself...

But if anyone is finding my avatar disturbing, by all means, let me know and I'll place a chihuahua in a bathing suit instead.

For the record, that image is not there to get your boys going (even if it seems to have that effect), it is there because I love to look at beautiful things, and that butt happens to be a very nice one...besides, it is a also like my personnality: VERY CHEEKY!

I find your avatar bloody disturbing!

I can't get my contacts lenses unstuck from it! John.

Because copyright law is about 'intent'. If they intended to take 'hello's' customers - or copy their style or content...hardly the case.

They might get a don't do it again, but job's done.

That couple must have a very boring sex life

They have kids - the couch and the kitchen is out.

[SARGE]

There's no such thing as bad publicity. As long as they spell my name right

of course ..if the REALLY wanted to go the extra mile, they woulda passed on Sicky Watson and handed out free passes to the Pelican Club or Famous Floras ( great radio ads..)

bet no fish-head creative rocked up to the Monday morning meeting with that one ..

never trust a creative under 30 with an Armani

or ANYONE with an Armani for that matter ..


and WHOS IDEA WAS IT TO BLASPHEME PIZZA BY PUTTING BBQ SAUCE ON IT ..

???

exacary...my stash of porn is well under locks just for that same reason...

Heck, there is nothing wrong with the beauty of the human body, and we should all be able to enjoy watching it at our leisure...
But when it comes to our little ones, we should have the freedom to censore.

Any better since I censored it? Or is your tongue stuck there too now??...

[Lias]

Sadly, yes.

PS: I think Hell's Pizza is great, and their marketing too, although handing the mag too a kid was a bit stupid on the drivers part.
