Does Sex in Advertising Really Sell?

By chie, 25 July, 2009, 1 Comment

Sex in advertising has stirred controversy around the globe for years. In a very competitive market, consumers are constantly surrounded by advertisements that desperately compete for attention so the guys at the creative department try to get a “creative” (or rather, perverted) idea out the door and hope that the client is dumb enough to get sold on it. Apparently, there are a number out there.

I compiled a couple of ads that most would deem particularly perverted, insulting, scandalous, or just plain disturbing.

Sexy Vegetables by PETA
We all know that PETA advocates vegetarianism.. they certainly took it to the extreme on this one. When the network pulled out the ad, PETA said the network had something against veggies. Hmm.. riiiiight.
