Model Hurt with thong during Photoshoot

In light of Mookinman's post on his pop video going viral AMAZING: Made a Pop Song + Video, Released last Thursday, Went Viral & is now making $2000 per day! I wanted to share something I did a few years back that went viral and resulted in a lot of signups. Feel free to take this campaign and try it yourself!

NOTE: I'm not affiliated with Bodog any more in any way, so not trying to sell you anything promise!

A bit of background. This was a campaign that I concepted and designed a few years ago for Bodog. At the time, Bodog was not the powerhouse it later became (and then still later un-became!) and its advertising mostly consisted of trashy girls ostensibly being sexy. Using photos that had already been shot - shudder...who came up with that **** - i did a very tongue in cheek campaign in an ONION reporting style. The funny thing was even though to me it seemed pretty obvious that we were being ridiculous, this got picked up by a TON of sites/forums/ etc, and a lot of people thought it was real resulting in a lot of buzz. Here's the landing page for it:

Silly huh, but it worked!

My sympathies go to the model who got hurt. I hope she's OK now.
