However, the problem is that sex doesn't sell products. It sells advertising. The average person places price and value above advertising when it comes to buying a product. Where advertising works best is in introducing name recognition, but if the product sucks or is insanely over priced the average person is going to pass anyways. Advertising is dieing a slow painful death. DVR has allowed us to skip by advertising when its on our televisions, most of us flip the station when its on our radios, many of us use pop up blockers and ad watch type browser plug ins when its on our computer. The majority of us don't even view adds in a given day any longer. What we view is product placement. Nice, nice. However, the problem is that sex doesn’t sell products. It sells advertising.
