Mmm, enjoying my morning cuppa crappa, I was catching up on all my “news” on Gawker (that whole Alito thing is just too much of drag to deal with first thing). Scanning down through all the hum drum, I read this boxed in post* and kept waiting for the punchline.

…waiting, waiting…

No punchline. It was just an ad. Just a silly ad with copy about as entertaining as the rest of the fodder.

Sigh. Just remembering the days of yore before you broke our heart.

Could it be that I’m bitter over never receiving an invite for Gawker comments? I’d wager sure. But then again,pretty girls always find a way to make out.

Doctor Claims Link Between Ringtones and SexAn intimacy researcher in North Carloina is stirring up quite a bit of controversy as she begins research on a phenomenon she calls “Pherotonal arousal.” Dr. Myra Vanderhood is staking her reputation on her belief that inaudible, subsonic “nanosounds” stimulate sexual desires deep in the brain. “I was inspired to learn all I could about Pherotones after experiencing their power first hand.” Vanderhood and her team are spreading the Pherotone gospel at their web site, www.Pherotones.com.

  1. They’ve grown fat on their own petard.

  2. This is part of a viral marketing campaign, created by the ad agency McKinney Silver. See http://www.adrants.com/2006/01/mckinney-silver-behind-pherotones-viral.php for more info.

  3. Gawker is lame.

  4. Stereogum had that same ad up for a while too. I think everybody hates, and whoever wrote the copy for it probably up late and night wondering what has happened to his life.

Have your say
