We all know that sex
sells, and every week we’ve been highlighting the hottest and most entertaining
examples of using sex in commercials to push some stock. So far we’ve covered
all of the products and brands which are well known for using a little risqué
suggestion to move some stock: beer, lingerie and…hamburgers(?).
Which industry that’s famous for using provocative imagery in its ads is left
for us to cover? Is there anything inherently sleek, fast, powerful and already
intimately linked in our minds to sex?
Cars. Definitely cars.
The automobile premiered
in 1886 and we’re pretty sure the first ad for it was a drawing of a Victorian
lady sitting on the hood, saucily and wantonly flashing her ankles. Cars and sex
just go together and we could fill the entire site with the commercials to
prove it, but for your viewing pleasure we’ve narrowed it down to four ads from
within the last few years.
We like this spot because it shows electric cars are
not just for the crunchy granola types or the founders of tech startups.
Electric cars are for hotties; I saw it on television!
Okay, we dig this ad. We don’t know what it’s about or
why it should convince us to buy a Dodge, but we like the attractive, barely
clothed lady.
Apparently this Italian
commercial with supermodel Belen Rodriguez was too much for TV and taken off
the airwaves. Which is quite the accomplishment, as every form of media in
Italy is incredibly sex saturated. It’s a shame this was removed from circulation;
this is the rare ad that both makes us feel kind of funny, in the good way, in
the pits of our stomachs and packs in a humorous twist.
If a pervert scorpion isn’t going to convince you to
buy a new car then nothing is.
