Default What is the story with those dominion ads??

Ok, I dont know if anyone else posted about this, but what is the story with those Dominions ads with the scantily clad chick? Or the one of just a picture of her legs?? I mean, yeah she's hot and thats great but wth does that have to do with Dominions? Is this just a stupid marketing stunt then? Am I the only one who finds it offensive?

You got it the wrong way around. It's a stupid marketing stunt, but the woman is hot.

LOL man yeah did I miss the thread on this one!

I love the suggestion that she should be hugging a furry Bog Beast doll. That would definitely make the ad move from the realm of offensive to just funny for me At least it would have some kind of relevant content.

Yeah, ask budweiser or godaddy or doritoes if advertising with hot chicks that has nothing to do with the product is a stupid marketing stunt.

In those ads, at the least, they have some product imagery or some other kind of attempt to link the women with the product. Here its just stripped bare to into some kind of ridiculous pretense for advertising.

Gee, I enjoyed it as a parody of advertising.
