Spam Advertisements

You know, on the outside.

One of the things I do for a living is design marketing campaigns. Not big ones, but the sort where you have to get a lot of bang for your buck.

Therefore, I propose to print up 10,000 waterproof labels and paste them on cans of Spam Luncheon Meat, as a test run.

I think the idea of flogging knock-off Rolex watches and generic Viagra, using this method, may well fly. If we can get a positive response from such obviously dodgy merchandise then I can comfortably approach partnered companies, to exploit this rather obvious market niche.

       If you were to advertise on elephant's knees, there'd be room for four.
Ian Tindale, Nov 08 2009
  

       Only if you had two elephants.

       Two elephants? How would that work?
UnaBubba, Nov 08 2009
  

       Like one elephant, but twice as expensive.

       One to drive the mail van and the other in the back throwing the spam into mailboxes.

       Tusk, tusk...

       But, what if I DON'T LIKE SPAM?!
...or is that the elephant in the room?
Dub, Nov 08 2009
  

       No, you've missed the point. There are two elephants in the room. The idea only works if you have two elephants.   

       The problem is that since elephants are omnivorous, intelligent, and will certainly eat ham sandwiches, they may start opening the tins. One elephant might have difficulty, but with two, one can hold the tin while the other winds the little key. So it might be better to have two separate rooms, with one elephant in each.

       Of course, you'll notice them if they sneeze. An elephant sneeze is a thing of great power and surprise.

       Great. First it was swine flu, now we have elephant flu to worry about.

       Then there'd be room for four of them, as [IT] pointed out.

       Elephant flew? I've never seen an elephant fly.
Ian Tindale, Nov 08 2009
  

       It only happens during Disney spells.
UnaBubba, Nov 08 2009
  

       They start talking funny when they get down under the weather.

       I once had a trunkful of them.
UnaBubba, Nov 09 2009
  

       I bet you'll never forget that! Those kinda memories are more nostalgic than a Tusken sunrise.
21 Quest, Nov 09 2009
  

       Yep. Took 40 native porters and 2 teams of oxen just to get it from the ship to the hotel
