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?

*earperks* Ooh what's the Schwäbisch Hall Fox? Do you have any pics? And what does he advertise? I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels this way about certain characters *blushes*

Ah yes I know him! I saw him advertising something in Stuttgart. I thought he was megamrr back then too. He is rather yiffy I must admit. I would do a balloon ride in him any day... :P

That's me too, I don't think I logged in :(

Wow! He's definitely a furry character :)

When I was on holiday in Stuttgart there was a big billboard with the guy on. Every day I walked past this 8ft character, it was fantastic! Plus he was offering me a fantastic interest rate and the size of his endowment was favourable too!

And as for the balloon ride, I'd do anything to get inside him... (joke :P)
