Product Placement
When advertising something it's all about placement. And yes, I have a very juvenile sense of humor at times. Here is the unfortunate Olympic diver, Tom Daly, sporting his new suit with the logo for his new sponsor, British Gas. I just have to wonder what they were thinking when they designed this get up. Poor Tom, I'm sure he'd rather be talked about for winning the UK's first diving medal in a zillion years. Enjoy your day!

Would you have preferred a frontal location?
ReplyDeleteLMAO! That would have been something to see. ;)
Deletethe frontal part is for British sausages :)
DeleteWhy Dez, you naughty man. ;))
DeleteOMG I heard something about this but hadn't seen it. Thanks for the laugh! I can't believe someone got paid for this ad LOL.
ReplyDeleteI nearly choked when I saw this right there on my newsfeed. I was dumbstruck that the advert people had done this. I mean the thing isn't a lot of real estate but there are the sides. ;)
DeleteSlightly embarrassing, I must say!
ReplyDeleteOh yeah it is. I feel bad for the poor guy and yet here I am augmenting his torment. :)
DeleteThat totally made my morning. I have to think it's intentional, right!
ReplyDeleteLOL Glad you had a good laugh like me. Somehow from the article, I don't think it was intentional. Heads will roll and all that. :)
DeleteNow I am disturbed!
ReplyDeleteLOL and yet I posted it it, adding to the guy's discomfort. what does that say about me? ;)
Deleteomg that's just hilarious :D
ReplyDeleteIsn't it? I could not stop laughing for about ten minutes this morning and knew I had to share this. I'm sick like that. ;)
Delete'tis a delightful place to put an add :) Where can we sign in for sticking the logos on other celebrity bums? :)
ReplyDeleteI know some bums I'd love to advertise on for sure. :)
Deleteindeed, just imagine our smiley faces on Chris Evans' bum :)
DeleteLOL Indeed. ;P
DeleteI snorted out loud when I saw that picture, Melissa! That's going to stick with me a while. lol
ReplyDeleteThat was about my reaction, too. E.J. And yes it is seared on my brain for a good long time.
DeleteNot good! Even he doesn't look happy about it.
ReplyDeleteHe sure doesn't. I still can't believe they didn't think about this before they did it. ;)
DeleteOhhhhhh boy!!!
ReplyDeleteLOL There really are so many things to say, they just overwhelm, don't they?
Deletelol I thought it was just a pretty picture until you pointed out what the print says. 'Cheeky' would have been better.
ReplyDeleteLOL Cheeky is is such a great word and so apt. ;)
DeleteI could definitely see why it would be intentional on the part of the advertisers. He does have an exceedingly nice rear.
ReplyDelete*Giggles* I know it has to be intentional, I studied advertising, but the look on his face is priceless. :D
ReplyDeleteHey Mel! Yes, that look on his face is priceless. I'm still chuckling. :)
DeleteYou know, I like to think it's deliberate :) Though I now think that all viral/accidental marketing is engineered, I've become a cynic :P
ReplyDeleteJamie
I've become cynical myself. There's so many viral videos now, it's hard to believe that all that happens au natural. :)
DeleteYou've got to be kidding me! ROFL! I vote for intentional as well. Dez's comment about sausages made me giggle.
ReplyDeleteLOL I could not resist posting this! Dez's sausage comment had me snorting. :)
DeleteMe, too, ROFOL. Yep, think it's intentional.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking it was too. I think they went for the comedy knowing what would happen. :)
DeleteHe does have a rather angry look on his face, doesn't he?
ReplyDeleteha ha ha! his expression seals the deal!
ReplyDeleteHis expression is rather memorable, isn't it?
DeleteLOL I wouldn't buy that from him but some women might.
