Who's most suitable to be the public face of which product?

(NB answers featuring the words "Dan Perry" require a NOT SUITABLE FOR WORK prefix)

Three for starters:

boyincorduroy [the axis of twee-evil] - any track & field release
AlexinNYC - Killing Joke
Pinefox - Lloyd Cole

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Monday, 12 May 2003 13:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Pinefox should advertise purple sweaters.

― Nicole (Nicole), Monday, 12 May 2003 13:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Tom Ewing - Gillette.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 12 May 2003 13:39 (twenty-two years ago)

luna and rosemary: panties
Mary: kneesocks
Ned: shampoo and conditioner

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 12 May 2003 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Tom would have to advertise sort of hedge clipper instead of gillette.

― Nicole (Nicole), Monday, 12 May 2003 13:41 (twenty-two years ago)

I'd buy any kind of cider advertised by Tim Hopkins. And I hate the stuff normally.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 12 May 2003 13:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Whilst Tom Exing amply displays the need for products madeby Gillette whether he is such a good advertisement for said priducts is debatable.

I was going to say that Gareth is a great ad for brown, and then I realised.

― Pete (Pete), Monday, 12 May 2003 13:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Ned: shampoo and conditioner

"For fluffier, wavier hair with no fuss..."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 12 May 2003 13:46 (twenty-two years ago)

This thread died an unfairly early death! I demand more!

(I would contribute some but mine are invariably mean, which is not exactly getting into the spirit of things...)

― kate, Monday, 12 May 2003 14:15 (twenty-two years ago)

I would be a Music Journalism Recruiter at High School Job Fairs.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 12 May 2003 14:17 (twenty-two years ago)

which is indeed a form of advertising, or at least marketing.

― Horace Mann (Horace Mann), Monday, 12 May 2003 14:18 (twenty-two years ago)

hstencil: bourbon

― hstencil, Monday, 12 May 2003 14:19 (twenty-two years ago)

hstencil: nerve.com

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 12 May 2003 14:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not only the president, I'm also a client!

― hstencil, Monday, 12 May 2003 14:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I am so not twee. And Track and Field records are boring.

I think I should advertise karaoke nights.

Ally should advertise digital cameras, and Alix should work for the Monkey Marketing board. Starry should be the "before" pic in a sunbed campaign.

― Mark C (Mark C), Monday, 12 May 2003 14:25 (twenty-two years ago)

that indie-nite you were promoting was twee !

― DJ Martian (djmartian), Monday, 12 May 2003 14:27 (twenty-two years ago)

Yes, maybe a little bit, but it wasn't *my* indie-nite. My indie-nite (if I ever do one again) is pretty much Ewing-friendly P!O!P! music.

To me to be twee involves being affected. You can be shy and quiet and like the Fieldmice without being twee.

― Mark C (Mark C), Monday, 12 May 2003 14:35 (twenty-two years ago)

I've met Mark C. He is twee, but he tries to pretend he isn't by talking about sex all the time.

― caitlin (caitlin), Monday, 12 May 2003 14:39 (twenty-two years ago)

Mark C should be in a diet Coke ad where a group of sexually frustrated female office workers all bundle down the pub to watch the hunky bloke with the shaven head do a series of popular beat classics.

He could do a different song in every one.

― Matt DC (Matt DC), Monday, 12 May 2003 14:41 (twenty-two years ago)

Sean C should advertise Photoshop.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 12 May 2003 14:42 (twenty-two years ago)

hstencil: bourbon

Can we both be in the commercial? You sit on the porch and talk about the product, while I water the wood.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 12 May 2003 14:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Mark is not twee. You weirdos.

― alix (alix), Monday, 12 May 2003 14:45 (twenty-two years ago)

Everything on ILX should advertise Coca Cola, in a remake of the "I'd like to teach the world to sing" advert.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 12 May 2003 14:47 (twenty-two years ago)

I've changed my mind. Ally should work for the Orthodontists of America. Those teeth are *perfect*, yo!

(I'm sure you never even had braces. But this is marketing, the truth is of no importance)

Do American's still think Brits have dreadful teeth? Who else on this bitch is gappy and proud?

― Mark C (Mark C), Monday, 12 May 2003 14:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I had braces on my teeth. It didn't help much.

My mad ex-flatmate's teeth were awful colour-wise, though. Horribly nasty and brown. She was scared of dentists - I don't think she'd visited one for about ten years or so.

― caitlin (caitlin), Monday, 12 May 2003 14:53 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm not scared of dentists, I'm scared of paying them.

― Kenan Hebert (kenan), Monday, 12 May 2003 14:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I've never had braces, three of my bottom teeth are mad crooked, like Jewel crooked, but you can't see those.

― Ally (mlescaut), Monday, 12 May 2003 15:01 (twenty-two years ago)

Ed: Mac computer products
Suzy: "Cool Britannia"-type tourism
Millar: the U.S. Air Force
Kate: Dirty Dronerock Boys Gone Wild!

― j.lu (j.lu), Monday, 12 May 2003 15:21 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm going to advertise Colt .45, bitches.

― Chris V. (Chris V), Monday, 12 May 2003 15:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, that would be appropriate.

Or you could do radio spots advertising local "Bingo" nights.

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Monday, 12 May 2003 15:25 (twenty-two years ago)

Ronan: Guiness - the choice of a new generation (Hystereo as the backing music)

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 12 May 2003 15:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Pete: perfect for the ad for Fosters;
Anna F: Could advertise the newest MP3 player showcasing the uplink to the NME;
TracerHand: advertise that John Frieda hair serum. Somehow, his hair just stays fluffy, whatever the weather.
Ned: I'm seeing flying monkeys fluttering round, while he blurts on the advantages of the IPod.

(Ahem, this heat I'm stuck im is making me a tad loopy...)

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Monday, 12 May 2003 20:22 (twenty-two years ago)

I forgot one --

Donut Bitch would advertise chicken costumes

― Nicole (Nicole), Monday, 12 May 2003 21:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, me in a recruiting ad, that would work extremely well

ILX in general should advertise cigarettes.

Sundar should advertise eggs.

― Millar (Millar), Monday, 12 May 2003 21:11 (twenty-two years ago)

Geir Hongro - Glutex Mega adhesive (cos it sticks and sticks no matter what)

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 12 May 2003 21:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Calum - lads mags, obviously

― stevem (blueski), Monday, 12 May 2003 21:15 (twenty-two years ago)

Calum - lads mags, obviously

Maybe if it were a "Just Say No to Porn" PSA where he was used as a cautionary tale...

― Nicole (Nicole), Monday, 12 May 2003 21:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Imagine the voiceover possibilities.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 12 May 2003 22:17 (twenty-two years ago)

ilm - corn

― jess (dubplatestyle), Monday, 12 May 2003 22:21 (twenty-two years ago)

jess - pants

― chaki (chaki), Monday, 12 May 2003 22:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Bryan is a serious burger ho.

Mr Noodles should advertise uh, Mr Noodles. duh.

I should advertise push up bras and cherry beer.

― Kim (Kim), Monday, 12 May 2003 22:32 (twenty-two years ago)

Ideally at the same time. Double up your endorsement income in half the time. Also: Hot.

― Millar (Millar), Monday, 12 May 2003 22:34 (twenty-two years ago)

why is it when I thought of Ned I instantly thought "shampoo"?? there's something in this, y'know..

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 12 May 2003 22:37 (twenty-two years ago)

Hmmm...nobody nominated me. Does that mean that I am the antithesis of marketing?

― j. "No Logo" lu (j.lu), Monday, 12 May 2003 22:40 (twenty-two years ago)

you would advertise fragrance

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Monday, 12 May 2003 22:42 (twenty-two years ago)

Trife:

Matos: No-Doz

Bryan: TALC

― Sean Carruthers (SeanC), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 00:42 (twenty-two years ago)

J0hn Darn1elle: bag of dicks

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Tuesday, 13 May 2003 01:13 (twenty-two years ago)

No one nominated me either, but I daresay thats cos most of you don't know anything about me. Which is cool ;)

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 01:23 (twenty-two years ago)

I should advertise push up bras and cherry beer.

For those wondering, the cherry beer in question is Bellevue Kriek.

― Mr Noodles (Mr Noodles), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 01:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Trayce could advertise Cold Shot

― electric sound of jim (electricsound), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 01:25 (twenty-two years ago)

*cries*

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 05:14 (twenty-two years ago)

Wait, that could be amusing if I get to fellate the beer bottle on a national ad campaign.... no? Too trashy?

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 05:15 (twenty-two years ago)

fellatio is NEVER too trashy.

― Mark C (Mark C), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 09:10 (twenty-two years ago)

I've met Mark C. He is twee, but he tries to pretend he isn't by talking about sex all the time.

― phil-two (phil-two), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 11:38 (twenty-two years ago)

*snort snigger*

― Trayce (trayce), Tuesday, 13 May 2003 21:21 (twenty-two years ago)

You wear push-up bras, Kim? I'm so disillusioned.

― sundar subramanian (sundar), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 00:11 (twenty-two years ago)

You haven't seen me wear one Sundar. Quite the opposite in fact.

― Kim (Kim), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 03:35 (twenty-two years ago)

Well, that's a dodgy exchange, that is.

― Ally (mlescaut), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 03:37 (twenty-two years ago)

wait... that DOES sound wrong

let me clarify that I was wearing a bra - but it was a minimizing one.

― Kim (Kim), Wednesday, 14 May 2003 03:45 (twenty-two years ago)
