Anti-Drug Ad???

Music Junkie

What I see here is a hot girl who is doing cocaine and listening to music…..but according to a spokeswoman for 6Minute (local magazine aimed at the youth) “The Music Junkie image is part of our Addicted to Music campaign which, in conjunction with drink and drug awareness agencies, is a very specific anti-drug campaign”.  “In no way does the image in question promote the use of drugs”. (had me fooled)

“It was considered and creative piece of photography which portrays choosing positive life influences such as music over drug use.  This message is clearly implied in the image by the model pushing away the white powder and instead choosing to surround by music, signified by the CDs and headphones.”

DirectTV’s Coucha Sutra by Deutsch LA

coucha-sutra

Would you give up sex for a larger TV?…..well a recent study from the U.K. proclames 47% of men would!!

That might be the madness behind Deutsch L.A.’s recent print ad campaign for DirecTV. The print ad will be featured in Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue

So what is “Coucha Sutra”??  “Consider it Modern Man’s Kama Sutra.  The ancient Indian spiritual text, composed in the 2nd Century AD and famous for its detailed illustrations of human sexual-behavior, has been revolutionized by DirecTV “to depict the multitude of ‘positions’ assumed in the most sensual and spiritual of places in our time…the couch”-DirecTV.
