"Tokens Of Affection" -Sex in the Gritty

Who's brilliant marketing idea was this?
I can just see the boardroom meeting for this one.
"We need a packaging that screams New York!
Something iconic that the common man can relate to.
How 'bout the Subway? Yes, yes, the train!" To that I say, "HUH?" The last thing that I wanna think about before "doing the do" is New York City Transit System! You don't know who's been in the seat you're in. It carries all types of infectious diseases. You have to pay to get on. And on top of that, it never comes when you want it to...Umm...Never mind it makes sense to me now. Forget it.

"A Spike (TV) Joint"-Star Wars Debuts on Spike

Hey, you remember the cable channel some years back, that Spike Lee attempted to sue over the use to the name? Well, one he didn't win (bold move Spike) an two, (as you may have noticed from the barrage of all those subway ads) they'll be airing ALL 6 of the Star Wars episodes starting April 6th. Each episode will air an encore showing the very next day (as if an respectable Star Wars fan would miss the 1st airing). Props to the advertising agency that spear headed the ad campaign, they took a very effective comedic approach to their marketing plan.

These are a few of my favorite ones that I've seen round town. I'm sure they've been eyed by some fanatic collector that trying to figure out how to get their hands on one (lol) Enjoy and "May the Force be with you."
