~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was having a bit of a read of a book about advertising the
other night and I thought that I`d share some of it with you.Not all
of the gleaming ads that we see on telly or in the papers got there
without a hiccup or two on the way.
Apparently the advertising for the cough sweets,Zubes,was doing
great things for the product with the slogan." Go suck a Zube ".That
is until they launched the campaign in the Middle East where the slang
for penis is of course,Zube.Well I expect some people were still keen.
Unfortunately for the bill poster,the two side by side
billboards that he had pasted contained these two ads.The first was a
medical warning, " V.D. The Deadly Disease ".The other next to it
read." I Got It At The Co-Op ".
A few years ago The Commercial Union opened a new office in Rio
De Janiero.It proudly displayed it`s logo,C.U. in huge illuminated
letters on the front of the building.Someone was kind enough to point
out though that Cu is the local word for a ladies fluffy bit.They made
a right c*** of that then.
In their lighter moments ad men seemingly come up with slogans
that they just know will never see the light of day.The following are
a selection of ad slogans that never quite made it.
People are sticking to Kleenex.
For Panasonic some wag came up with." From the peole who brought
you Pearl Harbour ".
A guy had to come up with something to follow," B-B-B-
Butlins.His answer," Burgers,Booze and Bonking ".
Carnation Milk,the best in the land;
Here I sit with can in hand,
No tits to pull,no hay to pitch,
You just punch a hole in the son-of-a-bitch.
There was a young bridegroom named Pasco,
Who anointed his tool with Tabasco,
The screams from his bride
As he thrust it inside
Made the honeymoon a f***ing fiasco.
For Pakistan Airlines." Fly to Bangkok and Phuket ".
The only part of Popeye that doesn`t rustis the part he puts in
Olive Oil.
Sharwoods Curry,as recommended by Geoffrey Boycott.You still get
the runs only more slowly.
For a market garden in December." Kill a tree for Christmas ".
For a chain of Chemist shops." We supply everything from
sunglasses for the continent to rubber pants for the incontinent ".
How does the Lada fair against the Porsche,fine,but try getting
laid because you`ve got one ".
For a coal depot in Slough." We`re the best bunch of Coke-
Sackers in town ".
When cigarette advertising was deamed unable to show the actual
product, Winston ciggies had these two ads run.A picture of a crowbar
with a cake on it with the slogan," We`re not allowed to tell you
anything about Winston Cigarettes so here`s a tart leaning against a
bar ".And,a picture of a shovel against a wall with a big rooster
looking at it with the slogan," We`re not allowed to tell you anything
about Winston Cigarettes,so hears a spade with a big cock ".
Finishing with a strange story.In third world countries it is
common practise for women to flush out their internal pink bit with
Coca Cola as a spermicide.The Harvard Medical School was intrigued and
duly set up some tests.In the New England Journal in 1985 they
published their findings.Entitled " The Effect of Coke on Sperm
Mobility ",the report detailed the findings of the tests.Regular Coke
stopped all sperm movement in 91% of tests, and Diet Coke in 100% of
tests killed all sperm stone dead.I wonder how they get the tin back.
