Just when I thought the ad with the dancing male alien was the most disturbing ad I'd seen in a while, they slapped a bikini and braids on it. It makes me shudder everytime I see it. I don't know why any company would think this is a good "mascot."
man, i have to agree that we need to find the people responsible for this wave of alien/mortgage advertising. i was completely hypnotized by a trio of dancing aliens on myspace last week. i actually quit clicking to stare in disbelief at this bizarre dance number. who in the hell is going to shop for mortgages based on dancing aliens?>??? unless it's some subversive plot to just stop us in our tracks. get us talking about dumb crap. in which case-- success!
Every time I see this horrible lady I have to get away from whatever page she's gracing right away. I would like to injure the person who created her. Creepiest image ever!
I need to point out that this isn't even a moving graphic -- it's just a static .jpg image. What I've captured here is exactly what I saw, which I mean I don't know -- if it were moving, it might be slightly better.
I want to know who the hell is going to the responsible company. That company has some of the most goofy, low-rent, suspect ads around. Have you seen the one with the looping .gif of the two ladies dancing in an office who suddenly look embarassed? What is that, like a 3 second low-rent YouTube reference? I'm trying to figure out who thinks "man, that looks like someone who's out help *me*." Because they're clearly making money to continue jamming these things in every open crack in the web.
Speaking as someone who works in banking, including in close proximity to the sort of people who make money buying and selling mortage-backed securities, I think I can simply explain it this way:
THIS is why our economy is fucked. Next time you ever hear them talk about "sub-prime loans," just replace that phrase with "loans to people who took them out on the basis of a dancing bikini-clad alien telling them to."
Nuff said.
