Jenny McCarthy Pairs Up With blu eCigs In New Television And Web Advertising Campaign

[Petrodus]

While it's nice to see vaping get a boost from celeb endorsements, I reluctantly have to say that IMHO, Blu could not have picked a worse spokesperson for their product ........

99.99% of the population are not aware of her politics and misc stuff
and really ... couldn't care less.

Not that version - at least I wouldn't expect that. I figure there were be a little less lip licking or something in the TV version. Too bad...

Agree. I would think they would have to cut it back some and take out the over the top stuff (holding the charger in her mouth).

I actually COMPLETELY DISAGREE!!! We all know she is off the wall with some of her beliefs. Blu, Played this one perfect. With Jenny's new job on the VIEW, she has the potential to reach millions with our message. I would love to see them do a bit on e-cigs. It would be nice to see a long discussion with some bias in our favor for a change. She can play this thing right for all of us. Just my opinion, I can be completely off base. who knows!

I disagree respectfully; her views on vaccination are very well-known and are what has given her the career boost that she's experienced lately; hence her new job on The View, her friendship w' Oprah, many news stories in major publications, the attention (and scorn) of the legitimate medical community, her bestselling books on the subject, etc.

In fact, I'd venture to say that she's known much better as an outspoken, opinionated modern mother than as a former Playmate or sex symbol nowadays. Just do a simple Google search on her name, look at the first results that pop up.

Some people might not care what her views are, but a majority of people who would be influenced by her endorsement of a product certainly know about them.

Bottom line ...
Whatever "her" views are on this or that ... Other than e-cigarettes
will not have a noticeable impact on the e-cig industry

 

[DPLongo22]

She's on The View now too???

I hope she's paying her agent well because he's obviously doing one heck of a job.

BP apparently started an astroturf campaign to keep her off The View, Anti-Jenny McCarthy petition authored by pharmaceutical industry cronies - Miami healthy living | Examiner.com.

While I cannot agree with her on Vaccines and do not want to see a resurgence of childhood diseases that killed and crippled so many before their introduction it is nice to see that we are not the only ones that BP uses their pocketbook to attack.

Also makes me wonder if she didn't take the Blue gig just to stick another finger in BPs eye, this lady is not stupid.

Ok, I stand corrected...it could have been worse


I honestly hope that Jenny can do some good here with legitimately promoting health for a change and lord knows e-cigs need all the publicity they can get, I just find it ironic that she was the spokesperson picked for this. It's like Charlie Sheen preaching against drugs. Everybody wants kids to abstain from drugs and it would be an honorable thing for him to do...but is anybody gonna believe that coming from Charlie Sheen? That's more of what I'm trying to say...

Thanks!

My avatar was this one for quite some time - one of my absolute favorite variations of the theme.

OK, enough Rush derailment. Back to the issue at hand.

I wonder how many men might purchase Blu based solely on Jenny holding the car charger in her teeth? The must be some scientific algorithm we could use to determine the impact of such marketing plans.

No matter which high-profile personality is featured in e-cig commercials ...
There will always be those who feel there could have been a better choice.

The reality is BT has many many many years of experience with advertisements
and knows what works best. One thing is for sure ... If a commercial is not
producing the desired sales results ... You won't see that commercial any more.

No one from BT will be contacting the ECF for our opinions and suggestions.
They are in the business of moving product and making money for their shareholders.


I have no issues with BT moving product because moving product saves lives ...
UNLIKE Pfizer's endless day in and day out non stop Chantix commercials.
