Just When You Think You’ve Seen It All….

A couple of days ago I posted about advertisements on airport’s electrical outlets. I thought it was an outrageous idea. But a Dutch design student had to top that.

A Dutch design student bored with conventional advertisements has set up a fake online agency offering advertising space for beer, cars and TV stations on prostitutes’ thighs and cleavage.

On his website www.instoresnow.nl, Raoul Balai also proposed painting brand names on zoo animals and floating huge billboards off popular beaches to get vacationers’ attention.

“I was getting sick and tired of advertising everywhere,” Balai told reporters. “But I don’t want to preach, and I thought satire would work better.”

Far from taking his ideas as a joke, an Amsterdam zoo had its lawyer threaten Balai with a defamation suit after his website depicted fish from the zoo bearing the brand name of a frozen fish company.

Prospective customers phoning his fake agency are kept on hold and bombarded with sales pitches until they give up.

Whats next? I would certainly put an eye out for those ads ;)

      Sara7a! the boob and thigh thing of a prostitute is ingenious! hahahaha! Arabs would buy all their products!

      But this type of unconventional thinking is what will get him the big bucks! Im telling you!

      a few years ago people were auctioning space on their forhead, back, arms, chest, and other parts on ebay for a price. But ebay stopped that since they would be liable! It was crazy!
