The success of Pfizer’s Viagra over the past going on nine years is obvious, with 6o million satisfied men worldwide, making it the number one choice to “get wood.” Whether or not used, everybody knows exactly what results the “little blue pill” will produce. You would think a product so wildly adored should have no need to advertise, but Viagra indeed has stiff competition from other big Pharma, a questionable herbal substitute segment, and some dangerous exotics now hitting the streets from far off spots like Malay. Viagra has used some edgy marketing stuff in the past, but the new shorts directed by award winning Eric Lynne of Partizan and produced by the ad agency Taxi, are the best!
These ads have just recently been running in Canada, and the first time you hear them, you’ll swear either the audio is out of sync, or you need to get your bud Sven on the phone for a translation. In actuality, the “creatives” have developed their own language, Viagraese, for my lack of any other way to define. “Wubbleflaps,” “Tufty Noodle,” “Wombleminki?” Where’s Peter Sellars, “It’s not my minky!” The only word you’ll understand is Viagra, and since you know what it does, what they’re saying is irrelevant, and just flat funny. These are on the same level as the SNL spoof Dr. Porkheimer’s Boner Juice and will likely be airing in the United States soon. I hope so, we need some TV laughs.
Pfizer spokesmen will tell you the ads are merely reminders for those who suspect ED to consult their physicians, but there is a bit more going on here. Canada has some funny ad regulations regarding mixing product names with remedies, and Australia recently jumped all over makers of wrinkle reducers. (See Rich Man, Poor Man). The drug companies don’t need another poison pill like “Vioxx,” but, enjoy life while you can, and quit nibbling on the dog’s kibbles!
The German Fashion Company Pompoos created two of the hottest fashion shows ever with the sharpest NYC Drag Queens on the floor alongside celebrity models, stars, and Prinz Frederic von Anhalt. Come meet the Genius which is Pompoos, and enjoy the show!
HARALD GLOECKLER
Harald Gloeckler “is” Fashion, Arts, Zeitgeist, Feeling and high class Entertainment. Born in a year of the Snake like Casanova, John F. Kennedy, Ghandi or a Dr. Dre, he`s got the same hypnotic talents to move the crowds with his seductive work and creations. Wisdom and greatest observation abilities enable him to be one of the new global artists, who can give Fashion a whole lot of new input. Trends are created down in the street and Harald Gloeckler is surely able to feel and see them long before others do and with the freedom of a true artist he is then able to turn them into exciting fashion. In terms of music he feels free enough to mix Marylin Manson with opera, which might be a symbol for no boundaries and giving his arts the chance to be a reflection of his own feelings to remain true.
DIETER SCHROTH
Dieter Schroth is the President and commercial head of the Pompoos operations and he has achieved, what most PR Experts are dreaming of. A ripe and crisp product, strong enough to create major headlines. In fact it looks like a big thrill, what he is doing to compete with well established brands with their much stronger financial background. For sure high finance will spot the enormous potential of such a well designed operation to turn it into one of the top labels. Pompoos is a thrill, in particular for those, who get a chance to meet Dieter Schroth and Harald Gloeckler to experience a bit of their concept and plans.
That’s Gross! And I didn’t say it. That was the (or one of the) punchlines from the joke OJ Simpson apparently made when claiming paternity of Anna Nicole’s baby; Dannylynn. Well, nobody laughed, let alone believes OJ.
But what’s up with this fake Prince dood? I mean, here’s the guy who in what, 2000, sued Pfizer, the makers of Viagra claiming the sex aid drug made him impotent. Freddy said then that after taking the infamous blue pills he couldn’t get aroused without them – and it drove his 90(?)-year-old wife to the therapy futon. He said, “At first I took the stuff to increase my desire – now nothing happens at all without Viagra. I have doctors’ testimony which confirms this. Zsa Zsa, poor thing, is completely under it with her nerves and has even had to go to a clinic. After all she also has her needs – which should be satisfied.” Talk about “slow moving.”
But, let’s talk about something really important – like, dood, what’s up with the hat?
