Re: Wow that Dominions 3 Ad is hot!
I didn't know that Elisha Cuthbert's evil twin was a strategy gamer.

Re: Wow that Dominions 3 Ad is hot!
Im sorry to say that the effectiveness of such ads is well proven. Even if they dont mention the product, they are memorable (as we see here). Even bad ads can be effective for being memorable (as proven on tv). And any click thru can increase sales (as shown by spam reports even when the spam sent does not mention the product).
Yes that sucks but I dont think that all of these different market moguls in many different media are all deluding themselves. Unfortuntely.

I thought that Elisha was the evil one. At least in 24 she is.

Re: Wow that Dominions 3 Ad is hot!
I think he may be talking about the "Incubus" ad actually:

Re: Wow that Dominions 3 Ad is hot!
heh, that's a great ad VFB
I don't think the dominions sex ads are objectionable, just dumb. I doubt that the "clickthroughs" they generate lead to any sort of corresponding increase in sales for shrapnel. They are off the mark for the intended audience. Vfb's ad, otoh, is witty and self-deprecating. I'd buy that for a dollar!
