CNET NEWS - Mar 2 - A man is caught red-handed by his blue-bodied wife. He is in bed with another woman. His wife is not happy. His wife, in fact, begins to assault him. She slaps him, as he and his other woman try to escape. It is a commercial for AshleyMadison.com, the site that helps married people hook up with other married people. AshleyMadison thought ABC's Oscars telecast next Sunday would be the perfect place to advertise its wares.

This very same spot has been approved for airing during the Oscars telecast in Australia. FULL ARTICLE @ CNET NEWS
Are we all tired yet of this hack approach towards PR? Lets create an amateur $500 tv commercial - submit it to high profile tv events knowing they will be rejected to simply create a buzz about the shock you feel for being rejected?!
Really lame - and transparent. I wish these pornographers would stay in the dark and stop coming out like cock roaches every time a light appears.

What goes around, comes around. One of these days, Noel will be cuckolded. Or, maybe it's happened already and he isn't yet aware. Such irony, if that were the case!

It's a bit harsh to call it a $500 TV ad Jeff.
Surely they didn't spend that much on it.

If stupendously awful was what they were going for, they nailed it. I'm hoping that wasn't a Courtland Brooks production?
