The American Apparel Ads

We've all seen the artsy, racy American Apparel ads featuring women barely covered in the clothes they're supposed to be promoting. Do these ever make you want to shop at American Apparel?

  2. Using Humor And Sex To Sell

    Using Humor And Sex To Sell

    Yup, Burger King went there. What are we supposed to be thinking about when we look at this picture and the word's "It'll Blow" in large font? I can tell you one thing, it's not food.

  3. A Fun Time

    A Fun Time

    This ad is saying, "Look how much fun you can have with such a good quality camera!" Why they decided to show the quality of their camera with a picture two women in bed is either sick or genius.

    Celebrities Eat Fast Food, Too

    Remember this one? This commercial was nothing but Kim Kardashian barely clothed eating a meal from Carl's Jr. Hot or not?

    Woah! Those are some good jeans if they can make this happen.

  6. Bringing Underwear Back

    Bringing Underwear Back

    These new boxer briefs from Calvin Klein have one advertising edge: they're super sexy. Calvin's going ahead and ignoring whether or not they're comfortable, cheap, or long-lasting. Whatever, these will make men hot - enough said.

    What's Going On Here?

    Some say that this ad, which seems to feature a bunch of people having fun on a beach, has subliminal sex all over it. Can you see it? Those with dirty minds won't have a hard time.

Advertisers have been using sexy images and the idea of sex to sell products for years. Some believe it really works, and that people are more inclined to buy something if the ad is sexy. Others say that we are already being force-fed sex in movies and TV, and that people are not inclined to buy something just because of a sexy ad. I put together a collection of sexy ads ranging from typical to ridiculous. Look through them and let me know if you feel more inclined to buy the product because of the sexual undertones.

You!

    lol it does sell if it's relevant to what they r selling, coz if it's not its considered pointless and known for the sex part of the ad rather then the product

    If it didn't sell, would advertisers continue to use it? no, they would continue looking for what does sell.

    Sexy does, but raunchy is more of a turn off. It gets your attention, but is it the kind of attention a product wants?
