What a sandwich! After Justin posted about the ad campaign for Burger King's BK Super Seven Incher, I got simultaneously aroused and hungry (which happens a lot, actually...). So with a fellow gay coworker (shout out, Frank!) in tow, I decided to venture out to my neighborhood BK to experience the magic of the cock burger in person.
However, the new phallic delight has not hit New York Burger Kings as of yet. As I stood in line trying to figure out what to get instead (I even considered the Burger Shots, thanks to you, J), I suddenly realized that I was really upset about not being able to have the seven incher. I had even planned to not have dinner in case the calorie count was way above what is acceptable. That ad did exactly what it was designed to do: it really made me want to go into Burger King and scoff a giant burger hero sandwich.
But then, as bloggers tend to do a lot, I started thinking about effective advertising, and not just for large corporations, but for smaller things to. Most notably, personal ads. Now, if you live in New York and happen to be of the homo-persuasion, you have more than likely come across one of the many fag rags around, i.e. Next or HX. If you venture into the back of these, you will be see various ads for "body work", "escorts", or "models". I put these all in quotes, because they all basically mean "prostitute."
However, these ads do nothing for me. Mainly, of course, because I don't pay for sex, but also because they're so boring. If they were more like the Burger King ad, then maybe I would find a new expensive past time.
So I did all these guys a favor. I have made my own ad, and I'm giving anyone who wants to use it complete creative freedom to alter for their own needs. Enjoy.
