Does Sex Sell
Have you ever purchased a product because the person advertising it was sexy or a favorite movie star of yours?

I can't think of anything of hand; but I'm sure that Orlando Bloom, Colin Firth, or Johnny Depp can sell me just about anything...

You like 'em YOUNG Luba....or what????????? LMAO!
I can admit I bought my last paint at Lowes, rather than my beloved Home Depot, due to Gene Hackman doing those Lowes commercials. His voice is just 'convincing'....lol!

I can't think of a time I've done that but I'm sure it would be a lie if I claimed to never have done so.
Oh ya, I got loaded on upside down marguaritas one night at the bar because this really hot gal in a swimsuit was pouring them...

I get European commercials in email quite frequently....and I DO have to say that some of them are far beyond where you could go in an American or Canadian market. I wonder what the wisdom is in that? I happen to think if you show a man too much nudity...he'll forget what product is being marketed. HAHA!
