What is your opinion on this e-cig commercial?

I think this video will raise some interesting opinions. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/11/07/ecigarette-ad-vip-video_n_4228605.html

I think it is too over the top for marketing e-cigs, but maybe that was their intention. Do you think this is good for vaping or not? Please do not shoot the messenger. I have nothing to do with this vendor...I swear...lol

This and turkey burger commercial is OK by me. My Mom may not agree.

FDA had their mind made up from the beginning.

You may believe me if watch this.

I know this will make people mad.

I think a lot of advertising is directed to men that have trouble finding a woman.

They use sex to market everything, so that commercial is par for the course. I think it's just rather vapid and empty. It says nothing about the product, why we should buy it, what good it is, and we aren't even shown the product, just some woman blabbing sexual innuendos.

Meh...

That did indeed make me cringe

It might be my age showing, but I just thought they were kind of silly... although I did suddenly have an uncontrollable urge for a candy cane. Good thing it's the Christmas season. Now if that man (heck or the lady) were holding a mop or doing dishes, I'd be getting all kinds of excited.

No idea. But it is an interesting way to get around advertising restrictions. Time will tell.

Bingo! I personally don't like these, but they're basically giving the middle finger to advertising restrictions.

Hi...if you go down on the page, the long length video does show the product and is far more sexually implicit. I think it is a minute long.

I laughed,,,,,,,,,it's a bit over the top,,,,,,but people across the pond tend to be a bit less hung up than Americans when it comes to sex.

Oh, well okay, but I still wouldn't buy it if they have to resort to such a commercial to sell it. I'd rather they tell me why it's worth my money instead of implying that it's somehow sexy. Perhaps it vibrates, I don't know, but that's not what I buy vape gear for.
