viral marketing.

"Banned bercos its too sexy...."
or banned because someone wants it to be popular.

I remember that ad...

And it reminded me of a company I read about a few years ago who went just a tad further... It seems the site has long since closed down, but here is a summary I've managed to find...

This is a first in online apparel catalogs. ;D

Quote>>>>Enter Shai, a five year-old Paris-based company whose new online campaign marks the first use of hardcore to sell clothing.

Shai’s summer 2006 campaign demonstrates the role of clothing in desire, “key to highlighting the seductive dimension of the line,” a company press release reveals. But Shai in fact does more than highlight; in three pornographic catalog videos, Shai’s sexuality is impossible to miss.

Visitors to the Shai site are given the option of viewing a cleaned-up catalog, for those under 18. But a click on the other option takes the visitor to a choice of three interactive videos...<<<<

Quote>>>>By moving the cursor over small green dots that hover over the clothing, viewers can explore the product in more detail (without ruining the flow of the video). There is no e-commerce element in the campaign, as the clothing is available only at stores. Media Life writes that although the site has plenty of sex, it is not arousing; the message seems, instead, to be that "sexuality is part of life at Shai, and is thus part of its sweatshirts as well."<<<<

First up I need to say that this campaign is about as NSFW as it gets, so consider yourself duly warned! Advertisers have long known that sex sells. So French clothing company Shai has decided to put that theory to the test by launching their Summer 2006 clothing range as an (explicit) interactive video clothing catalogue. The Shai Clothing’s Summer 2006 campaign makes extensive use of Flash video and starts off by allowing users to choose their preferred clothing preference (?) - heterosexual, homosexual, or lesbian. The catalogue then uses Flash video to display a couple of models engaged in some very steamy action wearing (or not) certain items of Shai’s Summer 2006 collection. Rolling the cursor over a piece of apparel in the movie stops the onscreen action to reveal a catalogue chart with price and size information. Using an interactive porn movie as fashion catalogue is on the extreme end of how advertisers are now leveraging rich media advertising to get their messages across to their audience. This campaign by it’s nature alone combines both the elements of an interactive rich media campaign and a viral campaign. Two very well proven and successful methods of online advertising. According to an article over at the LA Times - “Shai’s online campaign hasn’t provoked a discernible backlash in France or on the Web, nudity in advertising remains hotly contested in the U.S. With Abercrombie & Fitch and American Apparel pushing limits with provocative ads, critics in the U.S. find the online move to hard core frustrating but not surprising.” Damon Crepin, the creative director of Paris-based Agence 7, the shop responsible for the spots, said the web allows people to decide for themselves whether they want to watch something. TV and print ads are harder to bypass. It should be noted that I am not endorsing the use of rich media for porn. I’m merely seeking to educate and inform Flash designers/developers how the technology is now being used in regards to rich media advertising - but i’m sure you already knew that (he says with tongue firmly planted in cheek) Created by: agence7seven (FullSix Group) Directed by: Hervé Bodilis Produced by: Video Marc Dorcel Starring: Oksana d’Harcourt, Sébastien Barrio, Titoff, Gamal Simon, Sophie Moon and Zafira.

Didn't look hard, but can't find the videos hosted anywhere...

Not much different to her film clips...Love the set though, may have to hit the shops ..." Oh Hubby, spending money, I am sure you wont mind"

I agree with the decision.

Last thing we need is yet another excuse for drag queens to don (dong?) lingerie in public. (pubic?)

[D'Artagnan]

You reckon that mechanical cow thing could take two?
