Beer & Car Adverts On Hookers Thighs?
July 6, 2006 (2 Responses)
WHAT DO YOU RECKON the chances are that people would be interested in reading adverts for beers, cars and TVs on the lovely long thighs of hookers? Well – in Amsterdamn (where else?) a Dutch design student bored with conventional advertisements has set up an online agency offering advertising space for beer, cars and TV stations on prostitutes’ thighs and cleavage. On his website www.instoresnow.nl, Raoul Balai also proposed painting brand names on zoo animals and floating huge billboards off popular beaches to get vacationers’ attention.
The reason for this? In his own words “I was getting sick and tired of advertising everywhere, but I don’t want to preach, and I thought satire would work better.”
And the catch?
It’s all fake. Just a prank. Yeah I know… shocked right? Then again, it’s Amsterdamn 
However not everyone got the joke. Far from it in fact. An Amsterdam zoo had its lawyer threaten Balai with a defamation suit after his website depicted fish from the zoo bearing the brand name of a frozen fish company. And then of course there were the customers who phoned up looking to advertise on some good looking prostitutes. He decided to keep these folks on hold and then bombarded them with sales pitches until they finally gave up 
You just have to admire his imagination!!
Are you sure about this? It’s sounds a little Amsterdamish to me.
I reckoned my last post.
Have a look.
Tourists search the world for the magnificent castles that still may be found on the Earth. The famous remains fire each one with questions, awaken imagination, yet human self-love ignores the lessons of the history, silences the discovered archives.
The reality is warning, yet people didn’t fear but do otherwise. They rejoice. A good many are fed by tourism.
In other words, we joke but didnt make any conclusions. No wonder, that there are lots of stories to colorful irony. For example, I just have checked my guestbook and deleted some proposals to buy Viagra.
