Those annoying Iggy Pop adverts

They're so annoying. I don't get it, why would looking at Iggy's annoying body and listening to his annoying crap compel me to buy their car insurance? How does he sell their product? Does anyone else find that advert annoying?

God yes.

Honestly seeing him with his shirt off makes me nauseous. Take comfort knowing that he's pissed off a lot of his fans, though...

It's the new theory of advertising. The aim of the ads isn't to directly convince you to sell the product, but to be memorable, build the fame of the brand and hope by being more aware of them more people will use them.

Or, they'll see the name, and then think "oh yeah, that's the brand that uses that really annoying advert with that annoying dude, fuck them".

Iggy Pop is annoying. I constantly marvel that he was able to survive childhood.

Here's a challenge, see if you can find a pic of him with a shirt on.

Ok, but how about one where he's got a shirt on, out of his own free will, and not for an acting part. Betcha wont find one!

But obviously shirts near him can't stay on. I mean, the shirt on the girl beside him looks like it could come off at any second...

Maybe it's a physics thing. Some shirt canceling field.

Pfft. He chose his acting part of his own free will, knowing full well that he'd have to wear a shirt. No one forced him to. I say it counts. :p
