Jane Chin Aug 15, 2008 07:47PM Does anyone here dislike Lilly's Evista ad as much as I do? (towel-clad women standing there with holier-than-thou facial expression)
Jane Chin Aug 15, 2008 07:53PM at the end of the ad, my husband asked, "what are they advertising for, again?" talk about a poorly executed ad. should fire the agency.
RenegadeScribe says Aug 15, 2008 07:56PM You meant for eHarmony's competition. Match.com otherwise known as the meat market?
LChamp says Aug 15, 2008 07:56PM i really ignore those dating site ads...been married 34 years...wouldn't know how to date anyway..
Lloyd Lemons says Aug 15, 2008 08:15PM haven't seen that ad, but MOST ads R lousey.agencies like awards not results
codyrobert says Aug 15, 2008 08:45PM I hate towel clad women. Lol. But really, it feels like they're marketing to men looking for older women.
frankmartin says Aug 15, 2008 09:21PM now I want to see the commercial - I love looking at the ones people hate and wondering research kind of stuff about it!
Connie Aug 15, 2008 09:50PM frankmartin - you just can't stop your naturally inquisitive, research-oriented brain from filtering all info thru a focus-group lens.
SandyBBerry says Aug 15, 2008 10:10PM watch out for EHarmony. Lots of Nigerians on the hunt for Western women to defraud.
SandyBBerry says Aug 15, 2008 10:13PM there are toweled women on their website too: www.evista.com/pat/index.jsp Why don't we see toweled men for prostate cancer drugs?
SandyBBerry says Aug 15, 2008 10:25PM I call it pointless ridiculousness. Women in towels...women with big bad breast cancer wear turtlenecks!
pritcharddesign Aug 15, 2008 10:57PM those women's product ads are all stupid. do you really sit around talk about tampons when having a drink with your girlfriends?
RenegadeScribe says Aug 15, 2008 11:06PM SandyBBerry Wha? That's the first time I've heard of that. And my wife and I met and married oh eHarmony. If you get defauded going
RenegadeScribe says Aug 15, 2008 11:06PM through all the effort to communicate... Well then they deserve to get defrauded...
Jane Chin Aug 16, 2008 12:18AM the tampon ad with a gymnast? very ironic considering how often girls' bodies' are so worn down they stop menstruating...
SandyBBerry says Aug 16, 2008 04:08AM Renegade if you google Eharmony Nigeria and scams, you'll see lots of sad stories. I'm glad your eharmony experience was happy!
sus4th Aug 22, 2008 10:44PM hasn't seen the ad, but has seen the fine: www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2005/evista_fine.html
Jane Chin Aug 22, 2008 11:26PM :sigh: this is the kind of stuff I deal with in my consulting work with pharma (I work in medical affairs)
Jane Chin Aug 23, 2008 06:04AM can't find it on the net but you can see some of the towel clad women on the lilly site www.evista.com/pat/index.jsp
KDFrawg says Aug 23, 2008 01:28PM They are no worse than all the perfume and diamond ads in the world, which is to say they are abysmal.
LChamp says Aug 23, 2008 02:05PM I tend to ignore tv ads...my wife watches all of them. DVR helps me ignore ads.
sus4th says Aug 23, 2008 03:53PM copyranter has a blog on how Salma Hayek's photo was, um, *refocused"
Jane Chin Aug 23, 2008 04:01PM ooh the ads i dislike - nay - HATE - are the ones that purposely deceive! for example, the advil PM v. tylenol PM ad. advil guy says taking
Jane Chin Aug 23, 2008 04:01PM advil will help you sleep better after treatingyour pain v. taking tylenol pm due to special sleep ingredient. i was highly skeptical. next
Jane Chin Aug 23, 2008 04:00PM time i went to drug store i looked. advilPM simply has MORE of the same sleep ingredient than tylenol PM! (and by the way, that sleep
Jane Chin Aug 23, 2008 04:02PM ingredient is nothing more than what's in benadryl). what deception by advilPM
