Virgin Mobile Halloween 2006-10-18 15:46:00 Virgin Mobile
France has launched a Halloween
website called "Allowinner". A so called TV commercial similar to the Exorcist scene in the Bedroom...which you "have" to watch" in order to participate in the slot-machine advergame.
What i hate in this interactive website is the fact that you have to put 2 email adresses in order to replay. I don't understand the developers that keep on using this tool to fill their database.

Subliminal Advertising is back ?!? 2006-09-25 22:28:00
With a simple animated Gif, done by someone, maybe a spammer, the story is on every blog.
Adrants sent me this info about the New Age of SubliminalAdvertising
, and it's quite amazing how Spamming is evolving.Know, i don't know if the spammer is that stupid to think that we will BUY because of his Subliminal Ad, or if he's that intelligent to know that we will relay the info with his animated Gif.Check it by yourself and decide.
