Happy Valentines Day, if you celebrate that sort of thing. It really is one of those made up holidays, and technically speaking it’s not even a holiday. That is, unless you’re a hopeless loser lover. And of course, like all other Hallmark holidays, the marketing minds of the worlds have Valentines Day in their sights. To celebrate with Cupid, today’s feature explores some of the best, and most scandalous ads we’ve noticed around the Internet. For starters, take Thrifty car rental’s ad that urges you to save money on a hotel room, and get all hot and steamy inside one of their vehicles. It’s definitely playful, but honestly, I wonder what that sort of activity would do to your deposit. Second up is Ché men’s magazine who are showing off their vision of an ideal world, with their apt slogan “let us keep on dreaming of a better world.”
Okay, if you’ve made it this far, I promise that we’re transitioning into less raunchy territory, but first we’re stopping on some street corner in an unknown corner of Australia. There, you’ll notice this (above left) playful cutout of a sexy lady dressed in lingerie, hanging upside down and wrapped around a street pole. On the backside, passersby will notice relevant information to sign up for pole dancing lessons just in time for Valentine’s Day. And finally, one of the classiest campaigns we noticed places Cupid’s arrow on the backs of chairs in a restaurant, coffee shop or food court. Obviously we can’t figure out who to give credit to on this one. To bad, because it truly is cute and heart warming.
