I wrote about Ashley-Madison, the dating service for unfaithful married women and the slimy men who want to hook up with them back in August. My coworker James, who drives into Accordion City from the satellite city of Pickering via the Don Valley Parkway,
informs me that they have a new billboard near the “Downtown” exit. It
features a rear-view picture of a very relaxed man on a couch with his
arms folded behind his head in that “aaaaah” kind of way.
The kicker, however, is the caption inspired by the American Diary Farmers’ ad campaign slogan: “Got blowjob?”
Yeeeeesh.
Ashley-Madison have gone from scraping the bottom of the barrel to just
licking its underside. Naturally, the word “blowjob” on a billboard
will raise enough ire that it will get taken down in short order, but
that’s probably part of their tactic, which I like to call “stunt
advertising”.
Still, I’m curious. Can anyone get a picture of this?
Oh, my sweet summer child, do you not know about the “Loofah Code” in The…
...and by that, I mean, being completely ignorant of the larger world outside the U.S.…

The cover painting says it all.

That billboard, sans slogan, is at the corner of Wellington and Simcoe, too. It's one of those "What's that billboard for, anyway?" billboards.
This one actually says "blowjob"? Yeesh!
Hm. Poetically, I would've gone with, "Got spooge?"
"Poetically?" This is marketing aimed at guys looking to score with restless wives with dubious morals. The closest this demographic wants to get to poetry is:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Get on your knees
And gobble my goo
Trust me on this one.
Hahaha, you're such a romantic!
How about the woman's point of view:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
My husband won't give it
I'll get it from you
Is this it?

Any billboard company agreeing to put up this ad would need a morality check themselves.
The one I saw was similar, but the guy had grey hair and it was an indoor scene.
I had James look at it and he said "Nope, that's not it."
Whoa. I can't imagine this company advertising at all here in Rochester, let alone the words "blowjob" on a billboard. Amazing.
A few months back the company issued a press release saying that, according to a survey they conducted, Red Deer was the infidelity capitol of Canada.
Who knew?
