Penthouse Publisher Bob Guccione Quiet on Forclosure of HouseBob Guccione, publisher of Penthouse, has not been heard from following a two week extension on the forclosure of his $37 million Manhattan mansion granted to work out a deal for his troubled magazine. Penthouse has seen tough times latley and has had to cut staffers pay checks by 75%. Perhaps sex does not always sell. Phones4U Launches 'Foul Feet' Viral Game Campaign From the folks who brought us the washing machine orgasm for women, comes 'Foul Feet', an online viral contest where those with the ugliest feet are awarded a new cell phone. The company behind this game is U.K. based Phones4U, a mobile phone retailer. The winners receive a Sony Ericsson T610 and, thoughtfully, a selection of Scholl footcare products The online game is accompanied by a television ad that breaks August 18. From the looks of some of the entrants, many in the U.K. are in serious need of a podiatrist. It seems bad feet can now be combined with bad teeth as a stereotypical identifier of the British.
Illegal (in America) Movie File Share Company Sells Pre-Movie AdsES5, a Palestinian company, sells 25 second spots placed prior to the start of downloadable movies. The company website states, "Since Palestine is not a signee of the Intellectual Property Agreements, hence International 'Copyright Law', it is legal for ES5 to edit movies like Terminator 3 (in Palestine) and broadcast them to the world with your commercial content." No one likes to see ads prior to a movie in a physical theater. But many might be willing to view ads if the movie were free which it is in this scenario. ES5 offers for download many new movies such as Tome Raider II, Terminator III, and X2 (X-Men 2). If you are a daring marketer that isn't scared of the law, you might want to look into this one. New Crusha Ad Features Dancing Cats U.K. based Crusha, a flavored additive for milk, has launched a goofy TV ad campaign featuring dancing cats. Kylie Minogue's LoveKylie Ad Banned in the U.K. I don't know why but this ad, featuring Kylie Minogue, for Love Kylie Lingerie has been banned in the U.K. Apparently, there's some nudity in the ad. Take a look. I can't see any. Sure, it's a sexy ad but there's no nudity so what's the big deal? Britney is Back With New CD, New Movie, and New Elle Spread After a year off and all kinds of intriguing events, Britney Spears is back.
