Fake Gucci Ad


Fake Gucci Ad
few years back, I bought ad space in magazines for Matador. To place an ad, I'd call an ad rep, reserve the space, and send them artwork. Shortly after the ad came out, they'd send me a copy of the ad along with a bill.

So I was psyched to see someone making creative use of this system: A guy in Switzerland, pretending to be a representative from Gucci, called up a weekly paper and reserved a two-page spread. He then sent in a fake ad of himself naked from the waist up, flanked by a bottle of Gucci fragrance. When the bill went to Gucci as he requested, hilarity ensued.

Now if only we could get away with that to advertise iDump.
