Because sex sells. Everything needs to be presented as sexy in order to sell. Even if in makes no sense for something to be sexy.
There are many other sex analogies they could use here, for example: “play this. get laid.” Or something like that.
Hehehehe.
You WON’T BELIEVE IT’S NOT BUTTER gets a whole new meaning now.. I see.
But from fun to facts; sexuality in advertising is as old as the wheel (in fact, it’s part of the mating ritual), but where I come from it is supposed to be SUBTLE. The Canton site’s mouse-overs just scream for attention. And I don’t think it’s irony either. Just a poor, lonely web dev who never got laid…
Hey! What’s wrong with poor, lonely web devs who never got laid? They’re people too!
No. No they’re not.
No. No they’re not.
They are not?!? 0_0
So what are they?
Basement dwelling mammals, living on nutricious ramen and instant coffee.
