NOT Photoshopped

This ad can be seen in rotation at the top banner position on MSN Hotmail ... Posted by Bill at May 20, 2004 02:06 PM | TrackBack (1) CommentsI can't remember if it was here or elsewhere that I wrote about this recently. If it was here, sorry for repeating myself. A few years ago I saw and ad for something, I couldn't tell you what now. It featured a shot of a woman frame from her chin to the tops of her breasts. She was wearing a necklace that had lots of diamonds and pearls on little silver chains... well, dribbling down the base of her neck onto her chest. I've got a fairly dirty mind, but my girlfriend at the time was a straight and narrow as the day is long. Even she thought the ad looked pornographic. Then of course there's the infamous Sisley campaign that featured Josie Maran squirting milk from a cow's teat onto her face. The line between porn and advertising is getting thinner and thinner. Frankly, I don't mind, as long as it's oblique enough that kids don't get confused by it. The picture of the necklace was probably okay. A famous model taking it on the face in a clothing ad might be a little much. Posted by: Jeff Harrell at May 20, 2004 03:24 PM Um, uh, any idea where one might glimpse that Josie Marin ad? Posted by: Bill from INDC Journal at May 20, 2004 03:26 PM It looks like the banner that Michele photoshopped for PW last month. Posted by: Dr. Kate at May 20, 2004 03:51 PM Heh. Hope you'll pardon the URL, Bill; when you turn to Google, you've gotta take what you can get. http://www.celebteengirls.com/josiem2/josiem2_009.jpg Posted by: Jeff Harrell at May 20, 2004 05:12 PM |
