Playboy Ad 1. Online - Global
This is a viral ad that was used on the internet to direct consumers to the Playboy website.All it does is show the image of a woman's hand on a computer mouse, right? Does the image grab you? Did you see the subliminal image in it instantly or did it take a while? Did you find it obvious or subtle?

Great read
Came across this on StumbleUpon, a place full of blog posts containing the same content repeated over and over, so it was pretty refreshing to see that there's still some well written originality out there.
Brilliantly written.

Disappointing.
Misogynistic. Of course a dirty magazine for men will be.
As some of these are creative and acceptable, the mirrored ad is DISGUSTING. That is not funny, at all. Fuck you, Playboy. Violation.

The mirrored ad is disgusting but your language is just as much so!

hilarious
"A dirty magazine for men?"
So, nude women are dirty and shameful? I'll second those condolences...
You know what would be disgusting? If a man wearing a kilt walked over the mirror! Otherwise, as far as I can tell the mirror is not a secret "Gotcha!" kind of thing and nobody's forcing anyone to walk over it. It'll just become a loitering spot where upskirters and exhibitionists can mingle.

whatever
the magazine is lame as is the old man who owns it. guys who glorify it are a joke.

hmm
We are not discussing the magazine or it's owner here, but the advertising ideas..Some of them are clever, especially the squiggles. But the one with the mirror is not so great. If it's placed in front of an elevator door for example, people will just have to walk on it, so it's not a matter of choice. Plus this, it's awkward to think that people will look at some grandma's bloomers, because i assume not only models will walk on it..
I hope it's only a concept, though, and not a real advertising action. It would simply be bad taste.
(sorry for my english)
