I found the new Napster commercial and I was surprised by the awesomeness of it. They took a very good idea for an ad, which is pretty damn hot too! Anyway check it out: http://www.napster.com/napstergirl. I am glad to see commercials heading in this sort of direction.
 
What a completely stupid (and not to mention very misleading) advert. It doesn't sell the product, it just shows a stripper.

What, you mean featuring strippers? :rolleyes:

Seconded.
 
i don't see any point to it honestly. and its tasteless.

but sex does sell. but i don't think that will work here either.

i agree - there's something missing from this advert, something that just makes it a woman dancing around on a table. if it had that certain something that made it sexy, maybe it would work a bit better - i think losing that contributes to the tastelessness.

All depends on how much she is charging for sex.

I guess selling yourself over Napster beats eBay any day.

i see no connection. no humor. nothing that makes is stand out at all. nothing besides a woman dancing. blah.

its not that its sexually blunt that bothers me at all, its that it doesn't provide any connections or reality to itself.
 
Before viewing it, I was going to call you a pack of prudes, but it turns out I agree with you.

That ad doesn't have any redeeming features, unless it's to tell us that Napster users are fat, balding losers.
 
I didn't think the ad was bad my any means, relative to other ads out today, but it wasn't great. I'm biased though because I strip :).

Sadly yes. I wanted to do the same... then I watched it. Sigh.

Wii girl works much much better.
 
Seeing a woman prostitute herself out like that for an advertisement makes me lose any once of respect. I don't see it as sexy in the slightest, just detestable and useless marketting.
 
As pointless as it is it must work a little if we're talking about it. ;)
No one wanted to see Janet Jackson's overly large nipple either, but she was back in the spotlight after being gone for so long.
