A Classic Returns

While cruising around the Web on Thursday, I saw an old friend return. I had heard that x10 was having a little trouble with its business and hadn't seen one of its famous pop-under ads. It would have been a shame to start this site without a sample from its stable; after all, x10 was the market for these ads for a long time. However, fortunately, I caught this bad Oscar to share:



The tagline is "See What You've Been Missing." You know what I missed, honestly? The stock photo of a semi- to demi-hot chick in a seductive pose with copy that illustrated security possibilities while paying homage to the real reason people would buy this camera--voyeurism. You can see your home, your kitchen, THE BEDROOM!!!1!!

Second wave of these ads was a little wry, indicating that the company never meant for you to use them that way! (wink, wink, nudge, nudge, buy-some-more!).
