I'm not going to get offended on anyone's behalf and I am sure it keeps the Lemming happy, but does it really sell climbing shoes.

If I was trying to sell expensive climbing shoes I might!
In reply to The New NickB:

Where's the ad? I want to check before I give my opinion.

Am I the only red blooded rodent on this site that enjoys the female form, with their permission of course.

I'm not a perv or stalker.

Anyhow, I have add-blocking on which means I can't see said banner add to get affronted over.

Well, it's irrelevant if she was or wasn't, because you can't see owt! I'm naked under my pants!

For modesty's sake, it could be a Whillans.

Thankfully she isn't advertising krabs.

I hadnt noticed that one, it is the shoe ad I was thinking of. At least that in that ad her nakedness actually relates in a way to the product.

An interesting exercise in taste and the visual image would be, "nude model advertises camming device".

Has been done, in the old crags mags there was an ad showing a woman holding a large clog hex between her thighs.

Am I the only person who has not seen this banner?

I've tried on my android tablet and this device and now I feel so......frustrated.
In reply to The Lemming: Is it the Andreas Bolderini ad or the Merino ad?

Confused

Thanks for that - I've been searching all morning for it.

In reply to grumpybearpantsclimbinggoat:

There's some logic to the Merino ad - guy wears Merino, he doesn't smell so he gets a naked woman cuddling him. Reasonable way of selling shirts to guys.

The Bolderini shoe ad just seems like confused marketing, it's designed to appeal to men but men don't buy women's shoes.

Well, that was an anticlimax.

I do. I find a woman's climbing shoe a better fit.

Glad to be of porn service!

Still doesn't tell me which this thread is about though!

In reply to grumpybearpantsclimbinggoat:

The reference to climbing shoes in my OP would lead you to the Bolderini ad!

I remember reading about a study which found that people were more likely to respond to an ad for house insurance if it had a picture of an attractive woman on it. The effect was similar regardless of whether the respondents were male or female. They also found no effect (from respondents of either sex) if the ad included a picture of a handsome man.

So I think the logic is as simple as attractive woman = more sales.
