It’s all in the head (and it’s not what you are thinking!) – Part 9

4d) Sex in ads: bold versus  conservative:

 If this topic offends your sentiments, then I urge you to wait for the next edition tomorrow! But if you are curious, read on...

My question is this:  should ads allude to sex?

 Personally, I would veer towards the conservative side. And this is because I - and this is totally personal - would not like to be responsible for any ad that I may not be able to see with my daughter around or for that matter my grandchildren. I see myself as a dream merchant. I sell brands.  I could be naughty, but would definitely wince at the kind of ads that some of the French do. But then this is a personal opinion and I am not by any means attempting to judge another person's art.

But here, too, I find myself contradicting my own words. How easy it is, isn’t it, to excuse ourselves of our sinful thoughts by giving it a lighter sentence? And so I have to confess that I too am guilty of alluding to sex in an ad.

I refer to my ad for Bryl Deo.

Don’t write me off just yet. Hear me out first and then you can pass your judgement. Would you damn me or forgive me? Here is how it goes:

God Created Eve; and the Devil, Bryl

And

The Taste of the Forbidden
