The FART Banner - Good or bad marketing? - GoFuckYourself.com

KRL · 01-07-2004, 08:06 PM

Personally, its very distasteful and annoying as hell. I wouldn't be motivated to do biz with someone that uses farts to market their program.

I was on the phone today and surfing GFY and had been listening to music with the volume up right before that. I hit a thread with the fart banner and it went off loud as fuck as I was talking and I know the CEO on the other end of the conversation heard it loud and clear because he paused in the middle of his sentence.

I was going to say that wasn't me, but then realized what am I going to say it was, on a site called GoFuckYourself.com where advertisers use farts to sell things.

Fucking embarrasing as hell and pissed me totally off.

So is it good or bad marketing?

arial · 01-07-2004, 08:08 PM

If it didn't have that stupid loop it would be ok.

Spunky · 01-07-2004, 08:10 PM

I think it is both good and bad.Yes people will know it is your company but they will also reload so fast they wont bother to click it. But many people have complained about it and thats what gets in your head .

BRISK · 01-07-2004, 08:10 PM

Sorry KRL, but that was damn hilarious when I read it.

It's terrible, it has made me aware of their program but at the same time totally put me off promoting it.

It obviously wasn't a porn company he was talking to, or else he would have had no problem saying it was on GFY.

Kind of like when you're in an elevator and someone rips one with a silencer on it and everyone looks at each other with that "come on fess up" look and you're thinking the least they could do is say excuse me I just released gas so you at least get the courtesy of a warning announcement.

I will OWN him....I'm comming for you biatch!!

Ani D · 01-07-2004, 08:31 PM

All of these supposed phone stories don't have the ring of truth. If you're going to make up stories, make them interesting.

PS- I hate that fucking banner. They say it's supposed to only do it on mouseover. I don't buy it. The fart and the shaking house are too well choreographed.

SureFire · 01-07-2004, 08:33 PM

Personally, I surf with my speaker volume off so I never heard the fart. Yesterday someone else was using my computer and today, a telemarketer and me and probably the neighborhood heard it. It does get your attention, the telemarketer hung up so I like it.

I doubt if I would click on it though

Well you're dead wrong. I'm on the phone a lot and try to catch up on this board and many others while I talk on the phone to make my time more efficient.

I normally remember to turn the volume down since banners here have audio, but forgot to do it today when I hit GFY.

So Go Fuck Yourself !

Hits From The Bong

Pick it, pack it, fire it up, come aloooong
and take hits from the boooong
Put the blunt down just for a second
Don't get me wrong it's not a new method
Inhale, Exhale - just got a ounce in the mail
I like a blunt or a big fat cone
But my double barrel bong is gettin me stoned
I'm skill it, There's water inside don't spill it
It smells like shit on the carpet
Still it, goes down smooth when I get a clean hit
Of the skunky funky smelly green shit
Sing my song, puff all night long
As I take Hits from the bong...

Hits From The Bong y'all
Can I get a hit?
Hits From The Bong
Can I get a hit?
Hits From The Bong
Can I get a hit?
Hits From The Bong

Let's smoke that bowl, hit the bong
And then take that finger off of that hole
Plug it, unplug it, don't straaaain
I love you Mary Jane
She never complains, when I hit Mary
With that flame, I light up the cherry
She's so good to me, when I pack a fresh bowl I clean the screen
Don't get me stirred up the smoke, through the bub-bling water
Is Makin' it pure so I got ta', take my hit and hold it
Just like Chong, I hit the bowl and I reload it
Get my four-footer and bring it on...
As I take Hits from the bong

Hits From The Bong
Can I get a hit?

Digipimp · 01-07-2004, 08:43 PM

I remember talking about this quite a while back wondering just how invasive banners would get and when they would just start playing sounds on their own without you having to mouse over and when people would get tired of it.

I had the same thing happen to me while I was on the phone and that fucking thing went off, I didn't know what to say either and I know they heard it without a doubt. I wouldn't click it, it's bad biz and it seems to me that it's all the 19 year old college kids that are here for the free porn and usually drunk or high that like it.

cool1g · 01-07-2004, 08:44 PM

that banner is wack!

i either have to put the mute on my volume control or close the page as soon as those fucking sounds start coming out of my computer.

bad idea!

HEARTBREAKER · 01-07-2004, 08:47 PM

For me, it's not "wouldn't be motivated" it's damned if I ever would. Same goes with a comapny who took over the whole board and was in every 3rd post.

Same as "cockholster" bullshit. Are women "Slutty little cockholsters"? Fuck that.

Sorry. On another note.. "farts to sell things", ya, someone should win the marketing award for that one.

I doubt the clicks trippled, more like the refreshes trippled.
