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?

*chuckles* I answer no to both questions. For me, advertising is a big turn off, furry or not. However, I thought that foxy bingo suit was considered popular in the fandon?

I think some people really like the foxy bingo suit and others really hate it. The advert with everyone in the street was apparently filmed very near where I live but I can't identify the street myself.
