Furry Marketing

[lupestripe]

Does a company's use of a fursuit or a furry concept make you more or less likely to buy the product being advertised? Elephant.co.uk use an elephant fursuit whilst Foxy Bingo use (an admittedly poor) fox one. Do/Would you let the advertising sway you in this way?

As for me, I can't stand that bastard Coco Monkey in the Coco Pops advert so I never buy those nobbly balls of monkey shit. However I do like Quickie the Nesquik Bunny and so buy a lot of his chocolate flavoured powder to add to my milk. In many ways I would like to be Quickie - he seems to happy and bouncy selling chocolate milk all day. It must be a good life.

And then, added to this, does anyone buy products because they want to yiff the character?

I have always thought that Nesquik Chocolate Cereal is scary. It looks like rabbit shit and rabbits are coprophages, yet without any irony, here we have a rabbit eating it and getting kids to do the same!! I'd lock the bastard up if you ask me. But I'd still like to be him...

He's delightfully evil. I wonder why no-one else has made the connection and rule 34'd it

Surely we can't be the only ones?! The worrying thing is that it was obvious with me. Does that make me odd?! Eep...
