industrial power tools + bouncing jugs = satisfaction

"push me, and then just touch me,
till i can get my, satisfaction."

the song is satisfaction by benny benassi. faintly over the background, you'd be hearing the words "push, push, push, push" repeated over and over. the song is plainly about wanting. a wanting that just goes on and on.

the song by itself is infectious and is quite a good dance beat. but there is one other thing of mention. the video adaptation by the ministry of sound. it's a sorta-home-shopping network commercial for industrial power tools. and every so often are practical bits of information on the tools being placed. quite boring. were it not for the graphically stimulating images of sweaty, scantily clad, big-breasted women in suggestive poses.



so what's the sense in discussing the said video. it's intended to stress the point of my blog. SEX SELLS. if there is one successful way of promoting whatever product you are selling, then you have got to SEX it up.

which is why i would suggest for our client, ibm-sprint to make it as a promotion for their products. add a tiny bit of sex into the goddamn services. thus, vision should come with a month's free membership to XXX sites. aas/aap orders should come with a free sex toy. roadside rescue should be hiring sexy mechanics to assist our helpless customers. and sprint long distance should allow 50 free minutes to a phone sex hotline.

but i'm getting side-tracked here and so far my writings have done nothing to establish this fact.

shit! i just did research online and there is a new study that now establishes that sex and violence do not sell. bummer! might as well not continue with what i'm trying to write on here.

hmmph! the survey was a cheat. it's actually conducted to see whether viewers of a violent, sexually explicit television program would be able to remember advertisements for products such as cereal, soft drinks and laundry detergent. well of course you wouldn't expect any success in that. viewers are more likely to remember the sexual or violent program. maybe if you had organically grown vegetables being used in those programs and then momentarily flashed in the screen, then it's more likely for the viewer to remember "farmer green's fresh zuchinnis."

to further establish this, let's have a quick look at what's currently popular. the current no. 1 single in the us right now is "promiscuous" by nelly furtado feat timbaland. i hope you've heard the song or it'd be a waste of time to use it as an example. but then, let's quote some words from song:

"promiscuous girl
wherever you are
i’m all alone
and it's you that i want

promiscuous boy
you already know
that i’m all yours
what you waiting for?"

the song, as a resource in youtube.com briefly describes is a take on the controversial topic of maintaining sexual relations with a lot of casual partners. very interesting and would aptly describe the prevailing culture that encourages promiscuity.

well, promiscuity is a favorable subject. that and whichever aspect of sex is an interesting subject. it's solidly established into a lot of our mediums of entertainment already.

but there remains one medium where sex is never seen as favorable....

the horror movie. it is a known and established fact that in horror movies, anybody doing sex or being overtly promiscuous is sure to die. that's been established since nightmare on elm street where a young johnny depp get's eaten by a bed. or more currently in house of wax where paris hilton get's skewered in the head. again, no sex in horror films. or you'll die. only the virgin gets to keep his life.



a comforting thought.

...but then again, my life isn't a horror movie.
