Either I’m dead below the waist
or some folks are too easily aroused
I just learned that a sales guy hoping to do business with Kinetico of Utah* saw the Facebook ad I created for them and went apoplectic. It was, he ranted, soft porn.** From this fellow’s mind to the nearest gutter must be a short trip. The bubbles provide enough coverage that for all we can tell the model is decked out in hiking boots, khakis, and a tank top. I am pleased to report that reason prevailed at Kinetico of Utah. They heard and then promptly ignored his complaint. Porn, I suppose, is in the eye of the beholder. I should add that these folks are by no means boundary-pushers. On a ten-point Propriety Scale, 10 being mega-conservative, they hover at about 11.5. Incidentally, the ad pulled record-setting clicks. ______________________ *If you’re thinking about buying a water softener, I highly recommend Kinetico’s product. It really is better. Here’s all the info you need to be smart about buying a water softener. **Somehow I bet the pun—soft porn and soft water—was unintentional. He didn’t strike me as that clever. |
