Dumbest Ad Yet At CES 2007

Came across this ad this morning in the CES mag we got delivered. Apparently OmniMount thinks that channelling Justin Timberlake’s music is the key to getting people like us to stop by its booth.

To quote the ad:

“I’m bringing sexy back (yeah!)

Them other mounts don’t know how to act. (yeah!)

We’ll pass. Thanks, but no thanks.

The advertising person who came up with this is brilliant. I never knew about OmniMount until this stupid ad came out.

“I’m bringing sexy back (yeah!)

Cruchgear bloggers don’t know how to hack. (yeah!)

Umm, can a mount be sexy? I’ve heard geeks call gadgets sexy, but I can’t see anyone picking up a mount, stroking it and saying, “OMG, I must have this mount.”

Whether they made it on this site or not, this is truly dumb. And dumber is the fact they sunk the casheesh for a full page of ink.

I find their mounts very sexy. In fact, I had a UCL-X last night.

I wonder how much money they wasted buying the rights to that line.
