spectrefish 0 #1 September 13, 2004 Anyone know where I can get a copy of this advertisement fast? I threw away all the old issues of my mags. Now I need an advertisement that "could offend some people, not others" for class. I need this by wednesday!! I'd go to the DZ and try to dig it out of a pile somewhere but I thought this might be easier. Besides, I don't even remember which issue it was. I was so absolutely, horribly offended by this advertisement that I showed it to my girlfriend immediately. She was so absolutely horribly offended by this advertisement that she laughed hysterically. umop ap!sdn w,I Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrHixxx 0 #4 September 13, 2004 It was an ad for Skydiving Classifieds. Skydiving mag can probably send you a tear sheet. I felt so bad for all those hotdogs being objectified like that! -Hixxxdeath,as men call him, ends what they call men -but beauty is more now than dying’s when Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelel01 1 #5 September 13, 2004 Can someone please tell me what this ad was? I think it must have been before my time, and all this "offensive" talk has peaked my curiosity. Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Keith 0 #6 September 13, 2004 It was an ad with a woman, who appeared to be druged out boozed out and hung out wet, sitting nekkid in a bath tub filled with uncooked hot dogs (a filthy bath tub at that).Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J.

indyz 1 #9 September 13, 2004 QuoteEw, scary. And someone thought this was a good idea/pertinent why? Well, it got people talking, but it fell into the same trap that snags lots of funny/controversial ads: Everybody remembers the one about the fart in the car or the cat herding or the karate bear or the hotdogs, but I can't for the life of me remember what any of those ads were trying to sell me. Oops, waste of money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JohnRich 4 #10 September 13, 2004 I scanned the forum messages here for previous talk of that advertisement. That gave me a fairly exact time frame which I used to search my collection of back issues. I then found it on the 2nd try. Attached is the size-limited version of the ad, required by forum software for posting of photos. I've e-mailed you the full-size version. The page size of the ad is a little larger than my scanner can handle, so a small amount is missing around the edges. If what I've provided is inadequate, maybe someone with a larger scanner can do it up properly for you. The "Skydiving" issue is April, 2001, on the inside-back cover.

Jskydiver22 0 #11 September 13, 2004 Are u sure your talkin about the same ad? Because i think the one in the mag. was of a guy almost completely covered up in uncooked hot dogs. Ive never seen this one before. and yeah i do think it was for the swoop2 vid. --I don't even know enough to know that I dont know-- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ive never seen this one before. If I am correct, the ad with the woman was first. Many months (years?) later was the "take off" ad with the guy. I think there is even a thread about the two ads here on dropzone.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Swoop 2 cover was just part of the running joke about the hotdogs. I think there was one more woman/hotdog ad and then an add with a guy and hotdogs (maybe it was Sonic, I can't remember). It was debated on rec.skydiving a lot back then. Go search those archives. Honestly, I never understood the ad but realized what they were trying to do with a memoriable image. And I never understood the uproar about it either. The whole thing was blown out of proportion._________________________________________ you can burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.... I WILL fly again.....

Keith 0 #19 September 14, 2004 I guess I need to clarify just in case people are thinking from my previous post that I was "actually" offended by the ad. I truly thought it was funny in a "my eyes are burning" kinda way. In other words it was an offense to my sense of vision, not my sense of taste. Wait, that didn't come out right did it? Now I'm making it sound like I have bad taste. I think I'll just quit while I'm behind Keith Don't Fuck with me Keith - J. Mandeville Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
