What is the deal with the Dancing Sillohettes?

Question

I saw it for a mortgage ad and and now it's on facial cream ad. This dancing figurines of people jutting their navels all over the place with their hands in the air. You know, those dark sillohette people. What's the deal with the marketing these days? Like now I really want to buy - since I saw the dancing freaks on the advertisement - right. One of them was a disgusting couple and a fat lady swinging it all over the ad. I thought it was quite gross and turned me off from clicking the ad. What's really funny is that somebdy probably makes a decent living out of thinking up pathetic marketing ideas like this.

If I was in the market for new freak dance moves - maybe it would be relevant to the advertisement?

I'm all for hip and trendy - but I think this falls into the cheap and pathetic category.

Answer 1

Hey - it's hip - it's trendy - don't you want to be one of the coolest of the cool?

I kid my partner, who bought me an iPod, about the "ghost people" all the time. Have you noticed that they are not completely blacked out any more, that they have the occasional shirt or jewelry line showing? Maybe they got the hint that it was too creepy. :o)
