Again with the love and kindness. Come and have a cuddle, possum.

Nah. I’d be much happier if the fembots and their equally obnoxious Christian Right friends were struck down by a nice dose bubonic plague.

Here’s an example of a fair dinkum sex worker taking on one of her po-faced, self-appointed defenders. The letter appeared in “The Age’ and is also on her website:

“KATHLEEN Maltzhan, in your “Paying to look or touch does not equal a licence to hurt and kill” (Opinion, 25/6), you claim you’re a feminist who “works with” sex workers in Melbourne, yet you seem unwilling to honour their experiences and want to, in a fairly patriarchal fashion, save us from ourselves — a la the Christian right.

Maybe you could explain your position a bit better, especially the part where your portrayal of Daly-Holt morphed from that of an educated, artistic girl who loves “the easy money” into someone you insinuate was desperately giving her boss a lap dance outside work because otherwise she would be left destitute.

Sorry, honey, but unless you got those words from her own mouth, I’d be careful before making assumptions. I personally have never had to do any “extra” favours to get work. Neither have I had “rubbish, pornography or golf balls” thrown at me. The truth is most strip club clients are pleasant men who deserve to be able to enact their sexual fantasies without being pathologised as vicious, sexual predators, despite your attempts to exploit and stereotype them. Thanks, but no thanks, for your help.”

I know it is a long shot. But if more than a few people speak up and get a few Ministers to listen..well that would be a start.

I am really worried that this outcome has created a whole new ‘wave’ of so called, ’sexy newage ads’. If the ASB still is in power, then take my word..you will be see alot more of this soft porn imagery.

So lets do something about it. We all need to speak up and voice our OPINION to the Federal Government.

Girls who are now conditioned to think that grinding their little arse into a guys face in public will get them money in their thong.

When you put it like that, Helena, it’s hard to see how all those Howard supporters who suddenly care so very much about the corruption of children (as with their abrupt conversion to the cause of women’s rights, in the name of Islam-hating) could possibly disagree with you.

Nandos NEXT ad will show a girl come out of a club at 8am,
get in a taxi,
cause TWO innocent people to be shot, one fatally,
and then go home to her happy family and
SIGN UP WITH A CELEBRITY AGENT

(ACCORDING TO THIS MORNING’S MELBOURNE NEWS).

My Apologies, yes you stated that there was not any research done. Sorry, have been so angry with this decision, that i have missed a few lines. My bad. At the agency i work for, we try hard to promote positive reactions to our ideas..so it is just unusual for an agency to have the OPPOSITE DESIRED EFFECT…PURPOSELY. I don’t get CHEs Logic. Attention and awareness yes..yeah understood…but along with that NEGATIVE RESPONSES can NOT be a good thing. I guess that’s what happens when you don’t research your market.

No, it wasn’t my first choice - Replete Providore was just crazy busy and it’s not the time of year to queue outside.

I would like to see the statistical analysis of the research conducted by Nandos, who you say their target market seems to be 18 - 24 year olds. What percentage of their customers fall in this age group?
Because, as i can recall, everytime i used to visit nandos…(NOT ANYMORE!)…there were always families and a just a hand full of people in that demographic. Out of the 18 - 24 year old, how many found that using a topless stripper in a g-string aproppiate way to see chicken? My next door neighbour is 19 and found this ad disgusting!

Clearly, the Nandos markerting team and CHE, didn’t research this at all. Can explain why this ad is ILL FATED.

Advertising agencies get a shit load of money..and for what? hehehe
Now, not all are shittless brained animals…there are some good ones out their like the one i work in. : )

Oh, why do lefties hate 18-24yo spirit drinkers so?

Because they’re running-dog counter-revolutionary cadres, Katz. Possibly even foreign agents. You questioning the Party leaders?

It’s envy, isn’t it?

Stop waisting money and give it to the less fortunate who need it.

This ad has to go down as one of the WORST ads ever created!

Still, I’m not an 18-24YO Sprint drinker so probably well outside the demographic.

The chair’s in the Victoria and Albert Museum, BTW http://www.vam.ac.uk/collections/photography/past_exhns/seeing/chair/index.html

We were hoping for 100 comments, but we guess our brandname is now well established amongst your readership, anyway.

peri-peri and goodnight.

Do you still have the chair?

And the “main message� - Nandos is so tasty it’s addictive - is not so difficult for the target audience to decode.

Well that’s good James, because I couldn’t figure out WTF it was about.

The ad is a shambles, so the “creative” as it is known, may not have been pre-tested. I can hear all the arguments around a table, with the agency explaining how wonderful it all was to worried Nandos executives. The question of whether the ad was offensive would certainly have been considered, big companies are always concerned with their public image.

One point I’d like to make is that most people greatly over-estimate the effect of advertising. IMO the main effect of advertising on established brands is to raise or maintain top-of-mind awareness of the brand. This is the reason that so much intrusive or risque advertising is created.

So oddly enough, the Nandos ad might be quite effective, simply because it’s so crap or confusing that it’s memorable. And the “main message” - Nandos is so tasty it’s addictive - is not so difficult for the target audience to decode. That said, I wouldn’t be proud to be associated with this campaign.

One final thing, if an ad leaves you cold or you find it confusing, it may be that it’s not aimed at you. You’d be surprised what pushes the buttons of 18-24 yo spirit drinkers, for example.

Anyway, though you might like a view from inside the industry.
