Sex Sells: Difference between revisions

Line 97:
* Many gaming/comic/other conventions and expos are heavily populated with "booth babes"—young women hired entirely for their ability to stand around and ''almost'' violate the dress code, theoretically attracting lustful customers.
* A commercial for a dry skin lotion shows a woman making flirtatious expressions and dancing [[Male Gaze|in her underwear while the camera zooms in on her stomach, back, bare shoulders, legs, and feet]] to a jaunty rendition of "Head, Shoulders Knees and Toes". It's been described as the most upbeat striptease on television.
* Wendy's for decades was all about the wholesome ads featuring the founder, Dave Thomas, occasionally mentioniningmentioning his daughter Wendy (the namesame of the restaurant chain), who appeared much later on. Recently, as of April 2012, the ads feature a very attractive young 20-something redhead that looks more like what people are more likely to think [[All Writers Are Male|(or in some cases, hope)]] [[She's All Grown Up|an adult version of the cute perky redheaded child on the logo looks like]]. Oddly enough, this hot and sexy "Wendy" [[Reality Is Unrealistic|looks nothing like the real Wendy]], but as the trope says, sex sells.
* [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BzgNblh0rPM This advertisement] for Pioneer Elastoseal, a roof sealant brand in the Philippines, where a man attempting to repair one's roof in the middle of a storm chances upon a model soaking wet in rain and doing the obligatory sexy poses. It very clearly banks on the product's intended demographic of middle-age, blue-collar construction workers finding pleasure with attractive women.
