Domains for men and lesbians

No? That's not what this ad says to you? It's not supposed to appeal specifically to people who like—as in, are turned on by—breasts?


Oh, sorry. I guess I'm just the kind of bitchy straight chick that'll actively avoid buying from a company that advertises by pushing breasts in my face on principle. Again, sorry: I just think it's fucking dumb. (Think of all the cool executions you could create for this brand! Also, newsflash: hetero women buy domains too.) Call me crazy ... but not Crazy Domains.


Subtext: if this ad appears at the top of your homepage, it's likely to put people like me off your site. Sorry, chump, that's just how the world works.


Coda: Sometimes I fantasise that digital advertising for the masses would dispense with sex-for-the-sake-of-it advertising. Really, I do.
