Subject: Raunchy, entertaining video at http://www.huffingtonpost.com
Hi! I've known about your site for a while now and I came across a video clip that I think your readers would appreciate. It is part of a series of creative ads that JWT has taken out at http://www.huffingtonpost.com/jwt. In particular, I think you would enjoy this hilarious, sexy advertisement for scruffs clothing (hardcore). tell me what you think!
So I clicked on the link and found this message:
JWT and The Huffington Post are partnering to present creative video ads that are easy to share through e-mail, IM, or external links. Since the Internet gives consumers choice, we know people will watch only video that is worth their attention and will share only content with a friend if it is truly entertaining. We’ve selected seven spots created by JWT that will run on The Huffington Post from June 17-24.
At the end of the week, we will discover which are the most engaging, interesting, and entertaining.
I scrolled down the page to check out the video the emailer was referring to and, well, it's pretty much softcore porn.
Maybe it's because I'm just a backwards rube from North Dakota, but this has to be the most bizarre advertising gimmick I've ever seen.
