Taking Advertising to the Next Level: Pornstar Paid to Tattoo URL on Self

Click to reveal canvas

Let’s face it, most male gamers are attracted to breast (female, not male), it’s a plain and simple fact that has been carrying on since the first humans treaded this ragged rock known as the Earth. Apparently, gold farming website, MyMMOShop.com knows this better than most and has found an interesting way to not only exploit this part of the female anatomy, but to spread their word in the process. Russian Pornstar, Anna Morgan was paid $500,000 (USD) to tattoo the company’s logo and website URL across her chest. The contract states that Morgan must leave the unaltered tattoo displayed on her DD-canvas for a period of no less than 2 years. Hunter Crowell, the media relations representative for the company, proclaimed that the deal would provide ample exposure. “A female porn star can easily appear in 50-100 films per year so this gives MyMMOShop.com a lot of exposure for years to come.” Provided her films are distributed or even exist on the pron tubes of the internet, which they most likely are, it’s a pretty smart business decision for their demographic.

Now if I can only get Nahu to release the purse strings of DDN, maybe we can get some body-adverts to spread our word. For consideration please send self-shot pics to our tips account for a panel review.

Cosplay Sells: Bears and Backpacks

Its been a while since we last examined proof of the 1st rule of Japanese marketing: cosplay sells. Its still true though, it even sells backpacks, or bear suits, I’m not sure it matters. Here we have Becky, an anglo-japanese idol, promoting backpacks while cosplaying as a polar bear. Perhaps Coca-Cola could learn a thing or two about marketing with polar bears from Japan.

Nintendo ad: Geeks rap, we cry

80’s marketing, weather we love it or hate it, will forever be engraved in the minds of those of us who suffered them. We now bring you this magnificent Nintendo ad from that magical time, where stereotypical geeks used to rap about Zelda and say things like ‘Intense!’.

Have we really made much progress? A part of me wants to say yes, the other part wants to rap about Zelda and make disc scratching noises… wiki~wiki~wee!
