threeornothing Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Whats up with this? I notice the last four fliers or so have had female models on the gig fliers.....while this shit sells a load of copies Nuts, FHM and other such fucking trash for the brain dead lager lads, why do these gig fliers need to stoop so low? Is this the new way of getting folk interested in coming to live gigs? What next? Strippers introducing the bands? (Don't anyone go getting any ideas!!!!! :D:D) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DustyDeviada Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 I think what Kielan is really trying to say is "Why don't any flyers show hot blokes?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulscoconutass Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Onion T have always wanted to have a stripper dance through one of our sets. Although it'd probably be easier to get a random drunk first... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Neubeatz Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 Oh! such is the competitiveness of our local promoters, their imaginations know no bounds when it comes to advertising their engagements.The level of artistic profesionalism beggars belief.Scratchi and Scratchi will sign them up!!!

Biz Posted January 27, 2006 Report Share Posted January 27, 2006 creative genius...I left my lovely girlfriend to enter the the military. Being eighteen and homesick, it was a welcome diversion every night to write her and tell her how much I missed her. She went off to college at the same time, and in my naive young mind, I actually believed that she'd come marry me when I got to my permanent duty station. After about five weeks of letter writing with no response, I got a letter from my darling girlfriend. I opened the envelope, which contained a 3x5 inch card and a polaroid. On the card was written "I want to break up!" The polaroid was a tasteful shot of my very drunk sweetheart with another man's p**** in her face. I was humiliated and angry. I had told all my buddies I was going to marry this tramp! After my initial freakout I decided that revenge was in order. I pulled out a pen and wrote on the bottom of the polaroid: Dear Mom and Dad, College is fun! Thanks for all the money! and signed her name. I put it in an envelope, addressed it to her parents back home and mailed it the next day. I heard her dad suspended her college credit card and froze her ATM card the next day, and that she was back living at home with them two weeks later.

A.Pel Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 That is a brilliant story.And on the topic, half naked women cause more people to look at flyer than a picture of a guitar = higher chance of folk going to gig = more money.

Bodast Posted January 29, 2006 Report Share Posted January 29, 2006 It sure does... it sells TVs/DVD players/etc in WhatCinema or whatever those magazines are called, just about every screen in them shows a shot of some hot girl in some cool film... so presumably it's equally effective with music.

betamax Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 plus theres also something unfunnily ironic about putting a super hot female on a poster when in reality you turn up to see a wee room full smelly blokes wanking on guitars and growling to each other tunelessly about ''girrrrrrls''. A bit of sad concept in a way and surely its in contravention some kind of trade description law?if not iit probaly should beOn the other hand if Holly Vallance were on stage as opposed to beardy muso cretins Id be quite happy with this form of advertising.Yo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biz Posted January 31, 2006 Report Share Posted January 31, 2006 nudity... is it offensive?or are people who are offended by nudity offensive?You can show a guys nipples but not a chicks.How much or little flesh needs to be covered before it is acceptable?
