haha, funny 'ad' copy

Hi,

As I am reading more/learning more in IM, I am discovering how powerful advertising copy can be.

I just came across an advertisement for a major computer chain promoting their bigscreen t.v.'s.

What is funny is the 'strong' sexual innuendo you might otherwise miss if you were not learning and/or in this industry.

Basically, it says:

"...Huge SAVINGS for the big game..." then, for the t.v.s you can buy, rather than simply saying you can upgrade your t.v. to a particular size (i.e., for $200 more get the 52" t.v.), instead -- you can get the '42" 'package'", or if you are man enough, you can "Upgrade to a 46" package" or "upgrade to a 52" package")... lol

Very interesting ad copy I noticed...

      haha, no, I have a pretty clean mind... it was just how the positioned the ad copy, and how they were saying "BIG" this and "BIG" that, and get your "BIG" package now, etc, etc that I was thinking to myself, hmm, something seem amiss... and then voila, realized what it was!
