Jim Alfredson Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Speaking of Super Bowl ads or ads that run during sporting events, I have to say ever since I've had kids I'm more upset at some of the crap that gets advertised during the afternoon. Like horror movies. I don't really want my four year old seeing the preview of some sick horror movie, thank you very much. I think it's gotten a bit out of hand. After 9pm is one thing, but at 2 in the afternoon, I don't think those ads should be run. Call me a curmudgeon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chewy-chew-chew-bean-benitez Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 i agree with jim entirely, i mean, anyone who wants to go have an affair already knows how to work it, they dont need a tv ad on the most important tv ad time to hip them to nothin.

Dan Gould Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Jim, they're obviously advertising to teenagers. If you're seeing these spots while you watch your "stories" maybe its time to kick the soap habit and let the kids watch age-appropriate stuff where I'm sure Bloody Valentine's Day in 3-D won't make an unwelcome appearance. Just a thought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Gould Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 "We don't intend to let this pass," Biderman said. "This is our core audience and we will find a way to let them know about the existence of this service." What, they think they're too good for online porn ads, like their competitors?

papsrus Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 The rationalization about alcohol is rich: "I find the rejection to be ridiculous given that a huge percentage of the NFL's marketing content is for products like alcohol, which they sell in their stadiums, promote on their air and clearly have in the magazine," Biderman said. "That's a product that literally kills tens of thousands of people each year. Products "like" alcohol? What products? There's alcohol and then there's ... what? Wings at Hooters? He's trying to draw some sort of moral equivalence between alcohol (or chicken wings) and cheating? Why not compare cheating to cars, which also cause a lot of deaths each year? ... publicity stunt. I'm sure they realized the ad would be rejected and the plan all along was to use that rejection to create a buzz. The statement about football fans being their target audience has to be more than a little insulting to millions of happily married football fans, too.

Friday the 13th, even the Criminal Minds preview would have given him nightmares. I'm curmudgin' with you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a thought. Who's talking about soap operas? I was talking about sporting events like football and basketball that air in the middle of the afternoon. I think I should be able to watch the game with my daughter without having to turn the channel briefly to avoid some nasty preview for Saw V or whatever.

Dan Gould Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 Sorry, I missed that part. Nevertheless I'd think you understand that there is a lot of overlap between the audience for sporting events and the audience for horror films (and relatively few 4 year olds who tune in for sports).

papsrus Posted January 27, 2009 Report Share Posted January 27, 2009 I notice PITA has used the same tactic (submit an ad and have it rejected) to generate the same sort of buzz. And I suspect this is an intentional advertising tactic. Both these outfits submitted ads that they probably suspected might be rejected, and are now benefiting from the buzz created by the rejection itself. Cheap and effective. People want to see the rejected ad. Cheaper than paying for a Super Bowl spot, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzmoose Posted January 28, 2009 Report Share Posted January 28, 2009 You know, I always thought the term 'cheating' was complete chicken shit. I mean, comparing betraying your spouse to copying off of your neighbors test back in junior high school? I dunno... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
