porn as advertising? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

This might belong on the links board, but I figured it was interesting enough for others to see too: http://www.sexpacking.com/home.php

Porn, yes. But also a clothing catalogue, with embedded links to buy the clothing seen in the 'ad'. Given that it's very explicit porn, I doubt this is going to catch on many other places, but as advertising, it IS getting people to see their product.

The flash version takes ages to load, the quicktime ones download a bit faster. Oh, and its Sophie in the girl/girl version.

Every once in a while, I think to myself, "marketing genius".

In this case, I just thought, "I love Sophie..."

The thing is, it's a bit lengthy and elborate as a stand-alone means of advertisement. I'm not sure anyone would sit through the porn just to see the clothes. It sounds like a neat idea, but I think these porn clips would have to be way shorter. Like, 20 - 30 seconds or something. You can show a lot of hot lesbian action AND the clothing they're stripping off in 30 seconds.

So- A for effort, A+ for hotness of girls and their action, but I don't see the idea going anywhere. Also, I wonder how often a woman is found to say, "see what that porn star is wearing? Doesn't that look nice on that porn star? I'd like to wear that."

reminds me of the promises of interactive TV. Watching a TV show and like the clothes? Like the furniture? Click click click and you can know what it is and buy it...

umm... not for me.

I have this strange urge to go out and buy a skirt for some reason.

I wonder how big the fine would be if they played this comercial at half-time of the superbowl?

Maybe if the clothes were anything remarkable. Interesting concept, but a completely banal selection. If the clothes were a little more exotic, then I'd probably give this more merit. As it is, though, it's pure marketing with no product.

umm, it won't let me download,

edit: Hmm, tried it on IE as well, still says "You are not authorized to view this page"
