MSN Pink Ads Pulled - Too Racy


A blog-targeted campaign run by Control Room, an independent company that
19_IQ_News_MSNPink_L.jpg produced on-demand concerts for MSN, has been scrapped due to concerns that some of the work was in poor taste. The ad was planned to be featured in blogs like Pink is the new blog, Perez Hilton and The Superficial.


One of the ad even screamed, "See the real Pink!", touting an upcoming MSN concert by the recording artist of that name. Banner placements beginning Wednesday from Control Room, an on-demand concert service, promotes a Pink performance. Among the lines used in the ad units reads, "See the real Pink," "Catch the not-so-stupid girl" and "Don't U and UR hand have better places to be?" ("U and UR Hand" is the title of Pink's latest release, and "Stupid Girls" is her rallying cry against celebrity culture that perpetuates stars like Paris Hilton)


This is a real life sample showing the extent of what some marketers will do to get attention. But will it do more harm than good? Well, I believe anything controversial is good.
