I love web ads like the one below. They’re hilarious simply because they’re so unreal. Take this one, which is advertising a singles’ site. Now, the advertisers know full well that statistically, men use the web more than women. Moreover, men who use the web an above-average amount of time are likely going to be less socially adept. Ergo, the chances are the kind of person who would visit a singles’ site is a geek.
So what do they use in the ad banners? Why, hot women of course! You can bet that most of the “3 million” people who are registered on the site are absolutely not hot.. They’re unattractive, socially inept computer nerds hoping to find a babe.
Okay, so I’m generalizing…
